Summary:Increasing demand for electricity and daily work routines convert the life of a common man into complex activities that a person cannot do without the help of machines. Machines mostly operate on conventional fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas that produce harmful gases and are an open threat to the lives of modern cities. Mostly work through the electric machines that electricity produces by burning conventional fossil fuels that cause pollution. Global warming hits very badly to the whole world, and especially South Asian countries are in danger of floods and rises in temperature both in summers and winters. Modern sources of power generation like solar power generation are the best option to produce energy at an affordable price and get rid of costly and global warming-produced electricity. Current research is estimating a grid-connected photovoltaic power generation option of 55 MWp in the city center of Quetta, Pakistan, that injected 101630 MWh of energy into the grid and saved 1079029.225 tons of CO2 and provided daytime free energy with zero running cost. The annual average performance ratio is recorded at 85.4%, which shows the estimation of green solution reliability. This study will be helpful to install solar power generation options in city centers and markets, and using these power generation sustainable options will definitely contribute to planet saving from disasters.
