Who is Cairo solar?

Cairo Solar specializes in the EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) approach, in which the company manages system design, equipment procurement, and site construction. In this model, customers own the solar stations and experience a complete elimination of their electricity costs.

Why should you invest in solar energy in Egypt?

Since 2014, Egypt has enacted various renewable energy legislations, laying the foundation for pioneering companies to thrive in the market. The companies that emerged and later became staples in the solar energy ecosystem play a crucial role in advancing solar energy solutions.

How is solar energy used in Egypt?

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

Should a solar system be tied to a national grid?

AbdelHady’s (2017) recommendation of tying the system to national grid was taken into con-sideration. Therefore, in this paper tying to the national grid is the only simulated scenario. There are many types of solar modules and technolo-gies. The most common are the silicon PV technologies. Figure 1 shows four diferent types of silicon PV cells.

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 ).

Can a 90 kW photovoltaic system be installed on a roof?

The National Water Research Center (NWRC) (Qanatir, Egypt) set up a pilot rooftop 90 kW PV system supporting this approach. This paper analyzes the electrical output signals of 90 kW photovoltaics on-grid system mounted on the roof of the National Water Research Center (NWRC) (Qanatir, Egypt).
