This study addresses the dual challenge of enhancing energy resilience and reducing operational costs for a hemodialysis center in Casablanca, Morocco, which has an annual energy consumption of 54\u2005MWh.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A grid-connected 40.1\u2005kWp solar photovoltaic system was designed for the facility. The system's performance was simulated and optimized using response surface methodology to create a highly accurate predictive model (R\u00b2 = 0.981) of energy generation under local climatic conditions. Financial viability was assessed based on payback period and annual savings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The simulated solar photovoltaic system is projected to generate 51.2\u2005MWh annually. This output can offset between 81% and 95% of the center's electricity demand, with the exact figure depending on the energy compensation policy (self-consumption or net metering). Financially, the project offers an attractive payback period of approximately 5.9 years and generates annual savings of around US$7680.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The proposed solar photovoltaic framework provides a technically and financially viable solution to significantly improve the energy resilience of critical healthcare facilities. This model is replicable for making hemodialysis centers more resilient to grid outages, reducing energy costs, supporting continuous patient care, and contributing to decarbonization goals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/joneph\/aajag049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,17]],"date-time":"2026-02-17T12:30:49Z","timestamp":1771331449000},"page":"916-920","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Designing a grid-connected solar photovoltaic system for a dialysis center based on an energy audit"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9867-2096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Faissal","family":"Tarrass","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Hemodialysis 2 Mars , Casablanca ,","place":["Morocco"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meryem","family":"Benjelloun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Hemodialysis 2 Mars , Casablanca ,","place":["Morocco"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026082812315975300_aajag049-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.62716\/kn.000582025","article-title":"Energy efficiency in dialysis centers: implementing renewable energy in health care","volume":"17","author":"Sandal","year":"2025","journal-title":"ASN Kidney News."},{"key":"2026082812315975300_aajag049-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"310","DOI":"10.2215\/CJN.05840611","article-title":"Solar-assisted haemodialysis","volume":"7","author":"Agar","year":"2012","journal-title":"Clin J Am Soc Nephrol"},{"key":"2026082812315975300_aajag049-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"100967","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecmx.2025.100967","article-title":"Renewable energies in Morocco: a comprehensive review and analysis of current status, policy framework, and prospective potential","volume":"26","author":"El Hafdaoui","year":"2025","journal-title":"Energy Convers Manag: X"},{"key":"2026082812315975300_aajag049-B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"101213","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rineng.2023.101213","article-title":"Response surface methodology (RSM) for optimizing engine performance and emissions fueled with biofuel: review of RSM for sustainability energy transition","volume":"18","author":"Spraggon","year":"2023","journal-title":"Results Eng"},{"key":"2026082812315975300_aajag049-B5","author":"Joint Research Centre"},{"key":"2026082812315975300_aajag049-B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"14282","DOI":"10.3390\/su151914282","article-title":"Performances analysis of three grid-tied large-scale solar PV plants in varied climatic conditions: a case study in Algeria","volume":"15","author":"Fezzani","year":"2023","journal-title":"Sustainability"},{"key":"2026082812315975300_aajag049-B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1201\/9781315218397","volume-title":"Photovoltaic Systems Engineering","author":"Messenger","year":"2018","edition":"3rd ed"},{"key":"2026082812315975300_aajag049-B8","author":"Greentimes"}],"container-title":["Journal of Nephrology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/joneph\/article-pdf\/39\/5\/916\/69034173\/aajag049.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/joneph\/article-pdf\/39\/5\/916\/69034173\/aajag049.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]],"date-time":"2026-08-28T16:32:05Z","timestamp":1787934725000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/joneph\/article\/39\/5\/916\/8735866"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,6]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/joneph\/aajag049","relation":{},"ISSN":["1121-8428","1724-6059"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1121-8428","type":"print"},{"value":"1724-6059","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2026,6]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,6]]}}}
