Over 400,000 Tunisian families use solar water heaters

Since 2005, Tunisia has launched the national "Prosol" program to encourage households to install solar water heaters. This initiative is among the most prominent efforts to harness renewable energies. By the end of 2025, more than 400,000 families have benefited from the program, with over one million square meters of solar panels installed, helping approximately 20% of Tunisian households to rely on solar water heaters. The government provides financial assistance ranging from 400 to 700 dinars, with the remaining amount paid through a loan amortized over five years. A regulatory system ensures service quality, with complaints reduced to less than 1%. Tunisia also boasts natural advantages, including around 3,000 hours of solar radiation annually, which enhances its capacity to expand solar energy use and develop the renewable energy sector.
