Solar power in Uzbekistan

Some of the benefits of solar power in Uzbekistan include reduced dependence on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improved energy security.

The country receives an average of around 300 sunny days per year, making it an ideal location for solar power generation.

Uzbekistan is actively developing, with the assistance of the World Bank, a targeted program to install two-kilowatt solar panels in 150,000 private houses.

[12] Also, funds were allocated by local governments for the installation of solar panels in the apartments of low-income families.

[13] Because the cost of installing solar panels is high relative to the income of the population, they are not becoming widely popular despite state subsidies.Installation of Solar panels on schools, governmental offices, hospitals and public buildings is accelerated by The Law on the Use of Renewable Energy Sources (adopted in May 2019).
