It spans an approximate area of 60 ha. The Zagtouli solar power plant is the first milestone in a vast program to develop solar energy production in Burkina Faso to supply more than 150 MW of solar energy to the Burkina Faso grid (around 30% of the country’s total production).
The authors wish to thank the German state for financial support through the DAAD Scholarship and the National Electricity Company of Burkina Faso (SONABEL) for providing data from the Zagtouli photovoltaic power plant. No financial support was received for this study. All authors contributed to the study conception and design.
Based on the energy estimated by the developer of the plant (Vinci Energies) and the annual energy production of the PV plant since its commissioning, it is estimated that the total energy produced would be 1,334 GWh over the 25 years of operation. Estimated energy production during the life cycle of the Zagtouli PV plant
Recently, the primary energy consumption and environmental performance of a large-scale PV system (37.57 MW) installed in Malaysia were evaluated by Mohd Nordin et al. through the LCA tool. A cradle-to-grave approach was considered, assuming a 30 years lifetime and an irradiation rate of 1950 kWh m −2 yr −1.
The first studies compared mono-Si, a-Si, and CdTe systems of large-scale PV systems in the desert. These studies show that in desert areas, from an environmental point of view, the energy payback time (EPBT) is 2–3 years, and the carbon emission rate is 17–23 g CO 2 -eq kWh −1.
This consumption of fossil energy confirms the high carbon emission of PV modules. Furthermore, Zahedi et al. have also demonstrated that polycrystalline module technologies consume 2.5 times more fossil fuels than thin-film technologies during the production process.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
