Summary. This paper evaluates a hybrid solar, wind, and diesel power system for an off-grid rural village in Afghanistan with average daily demand of 7.9 kWh. Using geospatial data analysis and HOMER Pro software, the authors determine optimal component capacities and costs for a reliable system. The study confirms that hybrid renewable generation is technically and economically feasible for remote Afghan communities lacking grid access.
