Solar energy can be used in different schemes such as: thermal applications and photovoltaic applications (PV) (Ranabhat et al., 2016 ).

How many solar power plants are there in Egypt?

Table 1. Grid-connected PV plants in Egypt (IRENA, 2018b). The solar park in Benban is a power plant complex composed of 41 solar power plants in Aswan, Egypt. The project consists of small PV plants developed by several independent companies with a total energy generation capacity of 1.8 GW and will be developed under NREA supervision.

Can Egypt manufacture solar and wind energy components?

Egypt has a substantial potential for manufacturing solar and wind energy components. For example, wind turbine towers are manufactured locally and hence they are cost-competitive in Egypt. However, the local manufacturing of the other components, such as the blades and related electronics, is still not happening.

Which non-conventional source of energy is used in Egypt?

Solar power, nowadays, is the most promising type of non-conventional source of energy. In Egypt solar energy is used on a small scale in some applications; although it has high values of solar radiations (Bagher, Vahid, & Mohsen, 2015) and sunshine hours (Sumathi, Kumar, & Surekha, 2015 ).

Where can solar power be developed in Egypt?

Utility-scale PV development has, thus far, clustered around Aswan in the south of the country, where solar resources are strongest and there is plenty of land for development. The biggest chunk of Egyptian solar capacity is provided by the Benban project, which lies 50 km from Aswan and is one of the world’s biggest PV sites.

How solar PV distribution technology is developing in Egypt?

Solar PV distribution technology is developing quickly in Egypt due to the development of several pipeline projects; where industries and businesses can link PV systems on a small scale to meet their increased energy demand and hence reduce their energy costs.
