In 2025, standard residential solar panels produce between 390-500 watts of power, with high-efficiency models reaching 500+ watts. However, the actual energy output depends on multiple factors including your location, roof orientation, weather conditions, and system design.

Estimates vary, but the total installed capacity across Somaliland hovers around 60 to 80 megawatts (MW) —a tiny fraction of what the population actually needs. To put this into perspective, experts use a rough rule of thumb: 1 million people need about 1,000 MW of electricity.

Solar panels do not need direct sunlight to produce electricity. They work by capturing daylight, not just sunshine. Even on cloudy or rainy days, sunlight still passes through the clouds and reaches the panels, allowing them to generate power, though at a reduced level compared.

While solar panels perform optimally under direct sunlight, they can still produce electricity on cloudy days. This diffuse light allows the photovoltaic effect to occur, albeit at a reduced.
