Abstract

Solar Energy Production in Algeria: Status and Perspectives provides a comprehensive examination of Algeria’s solar transition, combining national context, technical foundations, and practical guidance. The book assesses the country’s renewable-energy potential, policy evolution, implementation gaps, grid requirements, investment conditions, local industry, and strategic pathways toward 2030 and 2035. It also explains photovoltaic technologies, system configurations, component selection, sizing, safety, performance evaluation, maintenance, and practical applications. Special attention is given to Algeria’s harsh desert environment, including dust, heat, ultraviolet exposure, equipment degradation, failure diagnosis, and reliability-oriented design. The final section addresses the long-term monitoring and operational optimization of utility-scale solar plants through data-quality management, performance indicators, loss analysis, maintenance planning, and applied case studies. Intended for students, researchers, engineers, decision-makers, and energy professionals, the book connects scientific knowledge with Algeria’s practical energy challenges and future opportunities.
