This work studies the implementation of an isolated microgrid activated with photovoltaic energy and energy storage in batteries under the case study of the community of Bigene, located in the African country of Guinea-Bissau. This type of project is a potential solution to the problem of access to energy, but as the cost of the energy storage
SNV is starting a new area of focus in Guinea Bissau: Renewable Energies. The main objective of this paper is to provide SNV Guinea Bissau a portrait of the current status of Renewable Energies (RE) sector in Guinea Bissau, main actors and opportunities of intervention that can lead to a positioning of SNV in this sector.
The expected results in the energy sector are: installing 500 solar street lamps, reducing energy loss, finalising the 225-kV western backbone interconnection line in the Gambia basin and developing renewable energy. This will enable Guinea-Bissau to increase the contribution of renewable energy to its total supply mix from 0 to 36%. The access
The World Bank, IDA, ESMAP, and GCF are funding Guinea-Bissau''''s first solar power plants with a $78.15 million investment to support decarbonization and expand electricity access. The project will build solar plants near Bissau and install mini-grids on the Bijagós islands, providing electricity to 1,200 households and SMEs.

Guinea-Bissau has a dual energy economy based on domestic wood-fuels and imported oil. About 90% of total energy consumption is accounted for by firewood and charcoal, which are used in almost all households for cooking as well as in traditional rural, commercial and artisanal activities. Available woodfuel supplies appear to be adequate to meet the demand from rural
Established in 2018, Megarevo is an industry-leading hybrid inverter manufacturer. We focus on four application scenarios: residential energy storage, C&I energy storage, microgrid, and grid-side energy storage, providing customers with standardized hybrid inverters, customized solutions, and ODM services.
The most ancient and still the most used today in African countries, is the wood coal and patches for cooking. In Guinea Bissau, it is the main source of biomass energy but not the only one. GB has recently started trying knew application of biomass energy.
The West African Development Bank is backing the project with a $42.9 million loan. Guinea-Bissau relies on fossil fuels and solar has seen limited development, with the exception of rural electrification initiatives. The nation has one of the lowest electrification rates in Africa, as well as electricity prices among the highest on the continent.
As of today, the most popular solar application is the rural individual photovoltaic system that has been exploited in Guinea Bissau for the producing electricity to power houses, schools, offices and hospitals or health centers. Solar water pumping is the second most installed solar application in GB (Ex. PRS I and II in Table 2).
A solar power plant with a capacity of between 20 and 30 MW is currently being planned with the support of the World Bank, which is now seeking consultants to carry out a feasibility study for the project. The financing will facilitate the construction of a 20 MW solar plant in the city of Bissau and two 1 MW PV facilities in Gabu and Canchungo.
Table 1: Solar insulation in a horizontal plan in Guinea Bissau With a yearly average of over 5.8 Kwh/m2/day (table 1), GB should be able to take advantage of all solar energy applications.
As a result, around 95% of the energy consumed in Guinea-Bissauan households comes from biomass. The African Development Bank recently stated Guinea-Bissau has only 11 MW of installed power generation capacity, almost all of it thermal generation.
