Solar energy and hydropower are both categorized as renewable, low-carbon energy sources essential to the global energy transition [1], [2]. They are frequently studied together as viable alternatives to fossil fuels [3], [4] and are integrated into microgrid systems to balance electricity generation [5], [6].

referenceS. A. Solarin, M. O. Bello, and F. V. Bekun published a study in 2021 examining the possibility of substituting fossil fuels for hydropower and solar energy in Italy.
claimCountries can enhance national energy security by using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro, as these resources do not require international trade to secure, thereby cushioning countries against energy-instigated insecurity.
measurementIn 2020, the global electricity generation contribution by source was: Coal (35.1%), Gas (23.4%), Oil (2.8%), Hydro (16.0%), Nuclear (10.1%), Wind (5.9%), Solar (3.2%), Geothermal and other renewables (2.8%), and Others (0.7%).
claimSolar power, wind power, and hydropower are viable options for generating electricity.
claimSustainable energy transition is motivated by the need to increase the use of renewable and low carbon clean energy sources, specifically solar, wind, biomass, hydro, and nuclear power, as noted by Rathor and Saxena (2020a) and Nguyen et al. (2020).
claimMicrogrids allow for the balancing of generation from variable renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydro with conventional sources like gas-fueled combustion turbines, coal, and diesel powerplants.
