Within the COP29, a groundbreaking ceremony of the Shafag Solar Power Plant with a capacity of 240 MW was held in Jabrayil. This station is the first utulity-scale solar energy and the largest foreign direct investment project implemented in the liberated territories.
Solar thermal generates energy indirectly by harnessing radiant energy from the sun to heat fluid, either to generate heat, or electricity. To produce electricity, steam produced from heating the fluid is used to power generators. This is different from photovoltaic solar panels, which directly convert the sun''s radiation to electricity.
In the study, Azerbaijan''s policy towards solar energy has been examined based on the potential sources of solar energy, the current situation and the country''s future strategies. Azerbaijan is

In the study, Azerbaijan''s policy towards solar energy has been examined based on the potential sources of solar energy, the current situation and the country''s future strategies. Azerbaijan is slightly behind in the production of electricity from renewable energy sources.
the use of a PETE converter [5], which converts solar energy into electricity using solar photovoltaic and thermionic emission phenomena. An increase of cell temperature is potentially advantageous, because it increases the share of thermionic emission in the energy balance. PETE converter consists of semiconductor cathode and metallic anode.
The Memorandum includes cooperation on utility scale solar energy, onshore and offshore wind power, energy storage and integrated smart energy systems, as well as capacity assessment for investment in green
Here, the electrical energy transforms into chemical energy, ready to be converted back into electricity when needed. The Photovoltaic Effect. The photovoltaic effect is the foundation of how solar panels work. Discovered by French physicist Edmond Becquerel in 1839, this phenomenon involves converting light into electrical energy.
Solar technology converts sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrate solar radiation through mirrors. Solar panels are used to generate electricity while solar collectors are used to supply heat and hot water by using solar radiation.

In 2023 the country accelerated the process of development of green energy, therefore Masdar has signed agreements for solar and onshore wind projects with a total capacity of 1GW in Azerbaijan, following the inauguration of the 230 MW Garadagh Solar Park, the region''s largest operational solar plant. The strategic agreements cover the
Azerbaijan began installment of its first major solar plant in 2023. The government of Azerbaijan aims to increase share of renewables in total electricity production to 30% by 2030. Azerbaijan’s renewable energy sources are hydropower, wind, solar, and biomass power plants.
That includes 23,000 megawatts of solar energy, 3,000 megawatts of wind, 3,000 megawatts of biomass burning, and 700 megawatts of geothermal energy. The optimistic estimates for Azerbaijan’s wind and solar potential are backed up by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in a November report.
The total power generation capacity of Azerbaijan is 8320.8 MW, the capacity of the power plants on renewable energy sources, including large HPPs is 1687.8 MW, which is 20.3 % of the total capacity.
The two new wind and solar plants will free up for export about 300 million cubic meters per year of gas that Azerbaijan had been burning for domestic power use, Mammadov said.
Azerbaijan has also proposed exporting electricity to Europe through what it calls the “Zangezur corridor,” across Armenian territory to its Nakhchivan exclave and Turkey. But Baku and Yerevan have yet, two years after a ceasefire agreement, to agree on any terms for transportation links. Heydar Isayev contributed reporting.
