Cel: Badanie analizuje możliwości i ograniczenia wykorzystania energii słonecznej jako zrównoważonej i odnawialnej energii w celu zlikwidowania deficytu energii elektrycznej w Zambii. Głównym celem badania jest zbadanie możliwości i ograniczeń wykorzystania światła słonecznego jako ciągłego, niewyczerpanego źródła energii w celu uzupełnienia istniejącej produkcji energii elektrycznej w celu wyeliminowania deficytu. Materiały i metody badawcze: Podstawową konstrukcją jest projektowanie metod mieszanych (MMR) – połączenie ilościowych i jakościowych metod badawczych, które prawidłowo i etycznie odpowiadają na zapytania badawcze. MMR obejmuje zbieranie danych za pomocą kwestionariuszy i wywiadów, ocenę, tłumaczenie oraz dostarczanie informacji ilościowych i jakościowych w ramach badania. W ramach prowadzonych badań zaproponowano następującą hipotezę: obecny deficyt energii elektrycznej zostanie przezwyciężony, jeśli rozwiązania dotyczące zastosowania energii słonecznej zostaną w pełni zbadane, rozwinięte i wdrożone w formie systemu ciągłego. Wyniki: Po pełnym wykorzystaniu i rozwinięciu energii słonecznej powinna ona stanowić rozwiązanie globalnych, a w szczególności zambijskich problemów energetycznych. Wnioski praktyczne: Obecna sytuacja na świecie dotyczy problemów związanych z władzą, które wymagają pilnego rozwiązania. Wyniki badań pokazują, że tylko kraje uprzemysłowione potraktowały to wyzwanie poważnie, podczas gdy w Afryce, gdzie problem energetyczny jest poważny, robi się bardzo niewiele. Wnioski i podsumowanie: Rządy świata, w tym Zambii, muszą opracować ramy dla energii słonecznej i poczynić znaczne inwestycje w promieniowanie słoneczne.

Background and Objective: The study investigates the possibilities and limitations of solar energy as a sustainable and renewable power source to help end the current power deficit in Zambia. The study’s main objective is to investigate the possibilities and limitations of utilizing sunlight as a continuous inexhaustible power supply to supplement existing power generation to end the deficit. Study Design/Materials and Methods: The basic design is the mixed methods research (MMR) design, a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods that provide solutions to research query(s) correctly and ethically. The MMR comprises data gathering using questionnaires and interviews, evaluating, translating, and providing both quantitative and qualitative information in one study. The study generates a generic hypothesis that if solar energy is fully explored, developed, and continuous systems implemented, the current power deficit will come to an end, boosting economic growth and national development. Results: Once fully exploited and developed, solar power is likely to offer solutions to global and Zambian power challenges in particular. Practical Implications: The current condition in the world concerns power challenges that need urgent solutions. The study results indicate that globally only industrialized nations have taken up the challenge seriously, whereas in Africa, where the energy problem is acute, very little is being done. Conclusions and Summary: The governments of the world, Zambian included, must formulate a solar energy framework and make considerable investments in sunlight harvesting.
