This research explores sustainable solutions to address environmental challenges arising from population growth and escalating energy demand worldwide. The focus is on implementing Photovoltaic (PV) Systems in Duhok City, responding to the governorate's rapid expansion and heightened energy needs, coupled with soaring production costs. Employing the RETScreen expert for evaluation, the study reveals significant potential in the city for solar energy production, with an annual electricity generation estimate of 7737.1227 kWh and a capacity factor. The proposed PV system boasts a maximum annual electricity production at a significantly reduced cost of 0.0328 ($/kWh), presenting an economically viable alternative compared to the current city rates. Financial assessments support the conclusion that Rooftop Photovoltaic Systems can serve as a sustainable and cost-effective solution to enhance the environment in Duhok City.
