Off-grid photovoltaic systems as a solution for the ambient pollution avoidance and Iraq’s rural areas electrification
Summary. Off-grid photovoltaic systems can electrify rural households in Iraq's Diyala State while reducing pollution. The study analyzed a solar system for a single household and found electricity costs of $0.51 per kilowatt-hour, competitive with conventional Iraqi grid rates. The system avoids approximately 1,840 kilograms of CO2 emissions annually compared to conventional fuel-based electricity generation, making solar viable for remote rural electrification.
