Uzbekistan uses solar air conditioning

r energy is not limited to electricity generation. Uzbekistan is exploring solar thermal technologies for heating and cooling applications. Solar water heaters and solar air conditioning systems can provide cost-effective and environmentally frien

It outlines the sustainable energy environment solar energy could deliver and offers a timeline up to 2030. In this vision, Uzbekistan succeeds in maximising the benefits of solar energy capacity for both electricity and heat, making solar energy one of the country's major energy sources.

Recognizing the importance of renewable energy, the Uzbekistani government has aken significant steps to promote solar energy development. In 2019, the introduction of a feed-in tariff (FiT) program marked a milestone. The FiT provides ong-term contracts and guaranteed prices for solar energy producers, attracting investments and driving the

This section presents a solar energy roadmap for Uzbekistan by 2030. It is based on current measures being implemented in Uzbekistan to break down the possible barriers to solar energy deployment discussed in the previous section. It aims to facilitate the government's deliberation of its solar energy strategy and focuses on:

Uzbekistan's climate is highly favorable for solar energy development, with solar irradiance levels of 5.5 to 6.0 kWh/m²per day according to the IEA. The country's dry, sunny weather and vast, flat land provide ideal conditions for large-scale solar power plants, making Uzbekistan one of the top regions for solar energy generation in Central Asia.

Large-scale solar PV projects have been subject to competitive bidding processes in Uzbekistan since 2019 and an awarded project can sign a long-term contract with NEGU at a fixed tariff, as noted above. The government of Uzbekistan also aims to develop small- and medium-scale solar projects.
