Solar PV potential in Mali by location
Below is the average daily output per kW of Solar PV installed for each season, along with the ideal solar panel tilt angles calculated for various locations in Mali. Click on any location for more detailed information.
Explore the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential across 4 locations in Mali, from Timbuktu to Bamako. We have utilized empirical solar and meteorological data obtained from NASA's POWER API to determine solar PV potential and identify the optimal panel tilt angles for these locations.
Feel free to contact us if you wish for us to include a general Solar PV Analysis for a certain city or location not already listed here for Mali. We will be more than happy to manually add it for you.
| Location | Subdivision | Latitude | Longitude | kWh/day Summer | kWh/day Autumn | kWh/day Winter | kWh/day Spring | Panel Tilt Angle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Timbuktu | Tombouctou | 16.7632 | -3.0185 | 7.37 | 6.76 | 6.32 | 7.75 | 15° South |
| Mopti | Mopti | 14.4836 | -4.1931 | 6.59 | 6.51 | 6.36 | 7.14 | 14° South |
| Ségou | Ségou | 13.4403 | -6.2595 | 6.24 | 6.47 | 6.47 | 7.17 | 13° South |
| Bamako | Bamako Region | 12.6542 | -7.9989 | 5.95 | 6.46 | 6.50 | 6.97 | 13° South |
Solar Panel Tilt Angle in Mali
So far based on Solar PV Analysis of 4 locations in Mali, we've discovered that the ideal angle to tilt solar PV panels in Mali varies between 15° from the horizontal plane facing South in Timbuktu and 13° from the horizontal plane facing South in Bamako.
These tilt angles are optimised for maximum annual PV output at each location for fixed-panel solar PV installations. If you click on one of the locations above, there is further detail on ideal seasonal tilt angles as well (in case your solar panels are adjustable).
Depending on where you are based in Mali, the ideal angle to tilt your solar panels will vary by approx 2 degrees (between 15° from the horizontal plane facing South and 13° from the horizontal plane facing South).
Mali solar PV Stats as a country
Mali ranks 88th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 100 total MW's of solar PV installed. Each year Mali is generating 5 Watts from solar PV per capita (Mali ranks 79th in the world for solar PV Watts generated per capita). [source]
Are there incentives for businesses to install solar in Mali?
Yes, there are incentives for businesses wanting to install solar energy in Mali. The government of Mali has implemented a number of policies and programs to promote the use of renewable energy sources such as solar power. These include tax exemptions on imported equipment used for solar installations, subsidies for the installation of solar systems, and access to low-interest loans from international development banks. Additionally, the government has established a Renewable Energy Fund which provides grants and other financial support to businesses that invest in renewable energy projects.
