Given these favourable conditions, the productivity of photovoltaic systems in Tunisia is very high. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) Global Atlas, annual electricity production from PV systems ranges from 1,450 kWh per kilowatt peak (kWp) in the northwest to 1,830 kWh/kWp in the extreme southeast.
Tunisia is accelerating its energy transition by awarding 4 solar photovoltaic projects totaling 498 MW to reduce import dependency and promote renewable energy. Faced with growing energy dependency, Tunisia is taking a decisive step forward in its commitment to renewable energy.
Solar radiation varies from 1,800 kilowatt hours (kWh)/m²/year in the north to 2,600 kWh/m²/year in the south. The average total horizontal irradiation ranges from 4.2 kWh/m²/day in the northwest of Tunisia to 5.8 kWh/m²/day in the extreme south. Given these favourable conditions, the productivity of photovoltaic systems in Tunisia is very high.
Tunisia averages more than 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, with some regions enjoying more than others. Most regions in the south of the country have more than 3,200 hours of sunshine a year, with peaks of 3,400 hours a year in the Gulf of Gabes (south-east).
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) Global Atlas, annual electricity production from PV systems ranges from 1,450 kWh per kilowatt peak (kWp) in the northwest to 1,830 kWh/kWp in the extreme southeast. Direct normal irradiation (DNI) is at least 2,000 kWh/m²/year to provide a viable energy yield.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
