Discover how Tunisia is pioneering wetland-friendly solar energy solutions to meet rising electricity demands while protecting fragile ecosystems. This article explores innovative photovoltaic designs, key benefits, and real-world applications transforming North Africa's renewable energy landscape. Large-scale solar farms, such as the Tozeur photovoltaic plant, feed into the national grid, enhancing energy. In response to Tunisia's escalating water crisis, exacerbated by climate change, the ACCISI-GEM project offers a practical solution: smart irrigation powered by solar energy with provisions for improved ecosystem health. Most regions in the south of the country have a solar exposure time of at least 3,200 hours per year, with peaks of 3,400 hours per year in the Gulf of Gabès (south-east). Increasing demand for electrical power in obviously parallels large increases in electrical generation.
