6 FAQs about [Bahrain solar power cost]

How much does electricity cost in Bahrain?

The cost of electricity in Bahrain for a non-subsidized residence is 0.029 BHD or 0.77 USD. Gradual reform started in 2016, and customers will be charged the actual cost of generating electricity from 2019. An exemption is given for one residence per Bahraini, for which a subsidized rate is applied. Bahrain has the opportunity to use different REs, including solar energy.

What is the barrier to solar panels installation in Bahrain?

The results of the study did not identify a specific item perceived as the barrier to solar panels installation in Bahrain. This is likely due to the relatively new nature of solar panel installation in Bahrain and the participants' lack of clarity on the specifics involved.

Are Bahrainis willing to pay the full cost of solar PV systems?

According to the cross tabulation results, majority of participants who were willing to pay the full cost of residential solar PV systems were Bachelor degree holders with the average per-capita monthly income for Bahrainis.

Is Bahrain transitioning to solar energy projects?

After the establishment of the Sustainable Energy Unit (SEU) in Bahrain in 2014, a radical transition toward launching solar energy projects can clearly be observed. The SEU was established in collaboration between the national government and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).

How much solar radiation does Bahrain receive?

Bahrain receives approximately 6 kWh/m² /day of solar radiation ( Alnaser et al., 2014 ). The country's global horizontal irradiance is 2160 kWh/m² /year, while direct normal radiation is 2050 kWh/m² /year ( IRENA,, 2014 ). In 2016, the average daily sunshine hours exceeded 10 hours, further emphasizing the potential for solar energy in Bahrain ( IGA,, 2016 ).

How big is Bahrain's photovoltaic capacity?

According to estimates by the International Renewable Energy Agency, Bahrain’s photovoltaic (PV) capacity was around 10 MW at that time. Large-scale plants offer one way to rapidly scale up renewable energy deployment. One notable project is the Askar landfill site in southern governorate.
