Abstract

Algeria is one of the important solar belt countries, with
an enormous potential in solar energy. The exploitation and
promotion of these energy resources offers the opportunity of
tackling energy-related and economic challenges, and to
contribute to a sustainable development in our countries.The
knowledge and assessment of the available solar energy resources
is a critical part to renewable energy planning and sizing and can
play an important role in lessen the harmful impacts of
environmental problems associated with the recovery of fossil
fuels and their use in power stations. However, the major
handicap has always been the spatial density of radiometric
stations which is inadequate. This study aimed to develop solar
potential data estimation in Adrar region located in the warm
Algerian desert region. The data delivered will be implemented in
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and used as support for
Technical analysis of solar potential in this region.
