As an alternative source of energy, solar power is gaining popularity across the global as well as in Nepal. Although the major investments for electricity production has flowed towards hydropower projects in Nepal, investors in solar projects have increased in recent years.
For decades, Nepal has focused almost exclusively on hydropower development to meet its energy needs. Until recently, this strategy was logical. However, given the rapid advancements in solar energy technology, Nepal’s continued disregard for commercial solar power is a glaring misstep.
Therefore, adequate solar radiation, solar panels, and suitable land for installation are required for solar power generation. Sunlight is free and accessible to everyone—this is the strongest point of solar energy. Considering that strong sunlight is essential for solar production, Nepal receives an average of 300 sunny days per year.
Solar energy integration Integrating solar energy into Nepal’s energy mix offers several strategic benefits, such as diversification and reliability, improving energy security and grid stability. This will in turn reduce Nepal’s over-reliance on hydropower, which is vulnerable to seasonal variations and climate change impacts.
