The document discusses the suitability of exporting solar energy products from India to Egypt. Egypt has a hot desert climate and relies on renewable energy sources like solar due to limited wind and nuclear power. The Egyptian government is working to increase the use of solar power and has set a target of generating 20% of its energy from renewables. Solar panels are in high demand in Egypt from industries, businesses, and households. Exporting solar panels and components to Egypt has good market potential due to Egypt's climate conditions and growing solar industry. The document analyzes factors like Egypt's energy consumption, landscape for large solar plants, and existing solar manufacturing industries that indicate solar exports would be suitable for the Egyptian market.

PRODUCT SUITABILITY FOR EXPORT & IMPORT

2. CONTENTS

3. IMPORT MARKET
PRODUCT : SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTS
MARKET : EGYPT
BUSINESS CATEGORY : BUSINESS TO BUSINESS & BUSINESS TO COMMERCIAL
 The average weather in Egypt 81.9 F at all seasons as most of the landscape of
egypt is covered by desert.
 The Government tries to utilize the climate weather in a prospective source of
finding eco friendly environment
 They don’t produce much power through wind power and atomic power for a
supply of civil.
 The government projects turned to the renewable energy system and they started
producing solar energy plants.
 The best suitable products to export or import the solar panel devices as the
demand is drastically been increasing commercially.
 Households also started using the solar power system as alternate power solution
to save the cost of living in cities such as Cairo, Alexandra, etc.


4. PRODUCT SUITABILITY
EXPORT PERSPECT:
• The new Egyptian government apparently sees solar energy as being a key part of the country’s future
• The Egyptian Government tries to achieve its target of using renewable energy for 20 per cent of its
energy needs in five years’ time.
• Egypt essentially has a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh). The climate is generally
extremely dry all over the country except on the northern mediterrian costal areas.
• The Egypt Government engourages solar panel usage among industries and all segment of
environment in the country.
• The usage of solar panel is almost in all verticals including the army of Egypt.
• The market demand of solar panels as well as devices are manufactured in Egypt however, the import
of the solar panel from the middle east and other Asian countries are having good volume in the
country.
• Out of Market analysis and physical environmental research the best suitable to export are solar
panels to the egyptian market.

5. CHARACTERISTIC OF PRODUCT
 A Solar (PV) Cell or a Panel / Module produces its maximum current when there is no resistance in
the circuit, i.e. when there is a short circuit between its Positive and Negative terminals.
• The Solar panels are widely used in Egypt to generate energy for the industrial and commercial
activities also includes government social activities
• Solar power plants are dynamic in nature, therefore they can be combined with existing power
sources to form hybrid energy system to enhance and meat energy requirements.
• Solar panels do not require much maintenance, they are very durable.
• Solar energy is very friendly to environment, and it does not pollute air.
• Solar panels are consist of arrays formed by small sized solar cells, they come in different sizes and
shapes.
• Solar industry is bringing lots of jobs in market and making lives better all around the world.

6. EXPORT TO EGYPT
Solar panels are best suitable product to export target market:
 World market for PV modules and systems is currently heavily influenced by
government policies, mainly subsidies, exports , directed credit as aid
 Energy consumption more or less equal to production from all sources.
 Large potential of Renewable Energy but limited utilization.
 The Company has also the premium category which has acquired the peak of global
market share.
 Electric power consumption (kWh per capita) in Egypt was last measured at 1742.91 in
2011
 Large landscape to install macro solar plants potentially increase of consumption of
solar power as primary energy solution.

7. POTENTIALITY OF EXPORT
Solar Panels and components are mainly used to manufacturing industries in commercial
secotor such as
 Solar PV modules; Solar batteries; solar charge controllers; solar lighting kits; Solar-
powered water pumps; d.c. -a.c. power converters; Solar cooking ovens Solar cooking
ovens. Solar Water Heaters
EXPORT POTENTIALITY
 Egypt is one of the worlds leader in Manufacturing solar thermal power.
 The raw material requirement of solar manufacturing has always demand in Egyptian trade
industries.
 The country is located at the world’s solar belt with annual sunshine duration up to 4,000
hours.
 The New and Renewable Energy Authority is considering developing two new hybrid
facilities at sites between Luxor and Aswan.

8. CONCLUSION
 Egypt is an attractive market that can offer major business opportunities to informed
traders and investors.
 However it is not always an easy market.
 A successful entry into Egypt will be determined by the quality of the information and
advice upon which the decision to enter is based.
 Continued success is also dependent upon the ability to navigate the laws and
practices of Egypt.
