This objective can be achieved through the development of solar energy production in Burkina Faso, a country with an estimated solar irradiation of 5.5 kWh/m 2 /day. The construction of the ZGCPVS plant has played a significant role in expanding the available electricity supply and reducing the production cost per kilowatt-hour.
The Zagtouli Grid-Connected Solar PV System Socioeconomic Impacts The initial step in providing electricity access to people is to increase the supply while reducing costs. This objective can be achieved through the development of solar energy production in Burkina Faso, a country with an estimated solar irradiation of 5.5 kWh/m 2 /day.
More than half of the electricity consumed in Burkina Faso is imported from neighboring countries like Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. To achieve sustainable development goals, the Burkina Faso government has made strategic investments in deploying large-scale solar PV systems .
In 2020, the combined electricity generation from the Zagtouli and Ziga plants will account for nearly 3% of the country's total electricity production. Figure 1 and Figure 2, presented below, illustrate the annual installed solar PV capacity worldwide and in Burkina Faso, respectively, from 2011 to 2020 . Figure 1.
In order to improve the quality and efficiency of PV defect detection and promote the sustainable development of the PV industry and new energy applications, the use of cutting-edge computer technology to automatically perform the intelligent detection of defects is a necessary technical means.
