Is a grid-connected solar PV project viable in Cameroon?Conclusions A detailed feasibility analysis of a 211.75 MW grid-connected solar PV was conducted in order to assess the project’s viability in Cameroon through examining the risk, technical, sensitivity, financial and the environmental impact on Cameroon.
How does Cameroon support the growth of solar PV?Recently, Cameroon is advancing economic incentives to support the growth of solar PV such as a 10-year tax break on solar PV projects (Ngalame, 2022) and the waiving of the value added tax (VAT) on imported solar accessories (Presidency of the Republic of Cameroon (PRC), 2011).
How much solar power will be injected into the SIG of Cameroon?3.1. Electricity generation The model was based on the feasibility section of the RETScreen Expert tool and the proposed solar PV capacity was estimated at 211.75 MW which is the power that will be injected into the Southern Interconnected Grid (SIG) of Cameroon.
Will Cameroon's PV system be attractive to investors?The PV system had an IRR-assets of 7.4%, which was below the debt interest rate of Cameroonian financial institutions hence, the project will be attractive to investo
