    FAQs about Valletta Megawatt Solar Power Project

    Could solar power be the future of Valletta?

    In 2021, the Valletta Cultural Agency proposed a 2030 plan, in which only electric vehicles would be allowed into the city, while rooftop solar panels would play a greater role in generating power. Turning vision to reality is not straightforward, however.

    Should solar panels be installed in Valletta?

    Malta basks in 300 days of sunshine per year, but installing solar panels in Valletta presents various issues. The standard practice of fitting panels with a 30-degree south-facing tilt, which usually maximises their ability to capture sunlight, is problematic in a historic city.

    Does Malta's new parliament building have solar panels?

    Cachia praises Malta's new parliament building, opened in 2015, for taking a more sensitive approach. Alternative Technologies won the tender to install solar panels at the complex and used specialised designs to place the panels at a much less conspicuous 5-degree angle.

    How do I get a PPA for a MW solar power plant?

    Steps to follow to get a PPA for a MW Solar Power Plant: Identify approximate area available for PV installation including any potential shading. The areas may be either on rooftops or on the ground. A general guideline for solar installations is 5–10 watts (W) per square foot of usable rooftop or other space.
