This study sizes and analyzes the feasibility of a 6.8 MWp autonomous solar power plant to electrify the Kasongo territory (DRC). For a population of 936,018 inhabitants, the system includes 15,113 PV modules, 153 Li-ion batteries, and 136 inverters. The $11.97M investment achieves a return on investment from the 8th year. RETScreen/PVsyst simulations confirm a daily production of 22,308 kWh and a performance ratio of 49%.
