The new iraqi government formed in 2018 faces a huge challenge to deliver reliable power to people particularly under the added pressure by the u s. On baghdad to cut energy dependence on iran. Iraq is poised to produce energy from solar panels and this method is not expensive and long lived. Pv panels are no more likely to survive in iraq than grid power.

A video has been shared thousands of times on social media that shows men and women taking hammers to a long row of solar panels climbing on top of them and smashing the glass. For example a few bullets can easily destroy a pv panel. This is not the first time that a solar panels at a plant in india has been destroyed due to non payment of wages beside reaching the target of 100 gw the companies and the government should also. On that occasion it had been shared by a bjp supporter gaurav pradhan.

It is known that the biggest problem facing the solar power generation in this way is the accumulation of dirt and dust on the panels because of the iraqi atmosphere known to frequent tides dirt and leading to reducing. He claimed that destroying the panels was an act of anti modi gang the intention of which was to derail the solar power mission of the government. As for iraq there are many more complex factors at work. Although solar panels have come a long way the technology of these free energy generators is constantly improving and while solar panels are meant to withstand most climates and are built to last up to 20 years they re still not immune to damage especially since they re made from outward facing glass.

Between 2008 and 2013 china s fledgling solar electric panel industry dropped world prices by 80 percent a stunning achievement in a fiercely competitive high tech market. Reforming the electricity sector has been largely ineffective since the fall of saddam hussein s regime.
