According to its geographical situation, Algeria holds one of the highest solar reservoir in the world. The insolation time over the quasi-totality of the national territory exceeds 2000 hours annually and may reach 3900 hours (high plains and Sahara). The daily obtained energy on a horizontal surface of 1m² is of 5 KWh over the major part of the national territory, or about 1700 KWh/ m² / year for the North and 2263 KWh / m² / year for the South of the country.
