This study examines whether photovoltaic systems in Sana’a could provide a technically feasible, economically viable and lower carbon alternative to the national grid.

Key findings:

  • The collapse of Yemen’s national grid has pushed more households towards solar PV systems
  • Experimental results show that PV grid parity is technically and economically viable under local climate conditions
  • Wider PV adoption could reduce CO₂ emissions, while carbon pricing could help accelerate large scale deployment
