Abstract : Taking use of Azerbaijan's advantageous geographic and climatic characteristics, this thesis investigates the potential of solar energy for the generation of heat and electricity in the nation. In order to assess the viability of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for electricity production and solar thermal technologies for heating, it evaluates important places with significant sun insolation. The report points up difficulties including geographical variations in solar radiation and infrastructural constraints, but it also implies that these obstacles may be addressed by technical innovation and strategic planning. Azerbaijan's energy security and sustainability may be enhanced by implementing hybrid systems, supporting policies, and infrastructural enhancements that optimize the use of solar energy.

Keywords : Solar Energy, Energy Potential, Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal Systems.
