The Afghan government should consider developing solar energy as a priority for energy security, socio-economic development, and improving the quality of life in Afghanistan.
In this progressing technological advancement world, hybrid systems for power generation is one of the most promising fields for any researcher. In this context, photovoltaic-biomass hybrid systems with off-grid applications have become extremely popular with both Governments and individual users in rural areas of any part of the
As a result, a molten salt plant with 6 h of storage was shown to reduce thermal energy storage cost by 43.2%, solar field cost by 14.8%, and levelized cost of energy (LCOE) by 9.8%–14.5% compared to a similar state-of-the-art baseline plant [38].

The photovoltaic-biomass-battery system, with 100% renewable energy contribution, has a lower total net present cost, energy cost, and excess energy than the PV/DG and PV/WT hybrid systems. The photovoltaic-diesel-battery system takes the second position from an economic aspect but has a 53.9% renewable energy contribution.
The last decade has shown a sharp, though now steadying, decline in costs, driven largely by photovoltaic (PV) module efficiencies (now 19.5%, up from 19.2% in 2019) and hardware and inverter costs.
