Description: With increasing demand for energy and international payment to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels, Libya's solar conversion technologies are currently facing obstacles and cost-saving technologies for a complete energy system. This paper examines the most important sources of renewable energy in Libya, namely solar energy and through the solar energy data obtained from the solar energy research center in Tripoli Libya, that Libya is rich in solar So tremendously. The goal of this paper is Assess the monthly average of solar radiation and the duration of sunlight to study the distribution of radiation and duration Sun rays over the city of Tripoli in Libya.

Description: This study investigates the options available to the energy sector in Libyan, particularly in relation to the potential of using renewable energy as one of the main sources for the country. Libyan government has set a target for renewable energy resources sharing with current energy sources to reach 30% by the year 2030 which mainly includes wind energy, Concentrating Solar Power (CSP), Photovoltaic (PV) and Solar Water Heating (SWH).

Description: The increased energy demands will result in more oil and gas consumption in Libya. This could lead to a decrease in the country revenue and more CO2 emission. Hence, Libya should use its alternative energy sources. In this paper the photovoltaic systems are proposed to share in the electricity energy mix in Libya. As the electricity is subsidized in Libya it results to inefficient and irrational use of electricity. Additionally the corruption and the bad management results in an extra cost for electricity generation. A photovoltaic system model is proposed and used to estimate the energy output of a PV system installed in Libya. The results show that moving toward photovoltaic systems could result in large energy and cost saving. Worthless to mention a reduction in CO2 emission.

Description: Renewable energy in Libya, in particular solar and wind energy, can partly cover current local energy demands. It can also, through connections to the Middle East, Africa and Europe, provide neighbouring countries with electricity. Additionally, with the increase in energy demand around the world, and the international effort to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels, there has been a drive in many oil-rich countries to diversify their energy portfolios and resources. Libya is currently interested in utilising its renewable energy resources in order to reduce the financial and energy dependency on oil reserves.

Description: Libya achieved independence from UN trusteeship in 1951. Libya is currently rebuilding from a violent civil war ignited in 2011. From September 2011, Libya operated under a transitional government following from the fall of Colonel Qaddafi’s regime and the United Nations’ recognition of the National Transitional Council as the legal representative of Libya. The legal system is similarly in a period of dynamic transition and is influenced by both state and non-state entities.

Description: Energy is one of the main and most important elements for achieving social and economic development throughout the world. Electricity is one of the most essential sources of energy. The importance stems from the role of electric power in fulfilling the main consumption needs for basic energy as one of the inputs to the production process. To date, the focus of the research in the field of the demand for electricity has been mainly on developed economies. Adding to the few studies carried out in the developing economies, this study has investigated the issue in the Libyan context.
