This document discusses a research proposal on increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of solar energy as an alternative energy source in Egypt. The objectives are to determine electricity interruptions in Egypt, identify the importance of solar power, and compare solar power to traditional energy sources based on environmental factors. The hypothesis is that there is a positive relationship between increasing power outages and growing demand for solar power. Solar energy could lead to a cleaner environment, lower utility costs, and improved health.

3. Importance of the study
• Due to the repetition of power outages in Egypt.
So It is necessary to search for different energies
to provide electricity, As an alternative source of
renewable energy in Egypt. Also the fuels like gas
and oil will run out and then mankind will either
need to come up with a new way to provide
power. In the future, solar energy may well be
the primary form of energy. This could lead to a
clean environment, less money spent on utilities,
and a healthier world.

4. Hypothesis/Questions
• This research aims at identify whether there is a
positive relationship between the increasing in
power outage and the growing demand of solar
power.
• In the future, solar energy may well be the
primary form of energy.
• Increased reliance on solar power, may decrease
the pollution.
• Why solar power is important in the present?
• Is there a relation ship between the increasing in
power outage and the growing demand of solar
power.

5. Objectives
• Determine the electricity interruption in
Egypt.
• Identify the importance of solar power in
Egypt.
• Compare and contrast solar power and
traditional energy using environmental
variables.

6. total installed capacity of pv at
the global level

7. Solar PV
• By December 2010, global installed capacity for
PV had reached around 40 GW4 of
• which 85% grid connected and remaining 15%
off-grid (REN21, 2010). This market is currently
• dominated by crystalline silicon-based PV cells,
which accounted for more than 80% of the
• market in 2010. The remainder of the market
almost entirely consists of thin film technologies
• that use cells made by directly depositing a
photovoltaic layer on a supporting substrate

8. importance of solar power
• Sustainable solar energy, which is also renewable energy ie
they are not enforced, they are a natural source of energy of
the sun shining in Egypt rate of 310 days per year, the rate of
solar radiation is up to 700m-2000 K watt per year
• For solar energy will subsequently requires a lot of
maintenance work, where they will be installing solar panels
or docks once

9. The cost of solar energy and
the cost of power Stations
• Cost of solar cells by
qualitative Prices start from $
20 to $ 800 depending on
size and ability
• The cost of power Stations
starting from $ 300 to $
1,500 depending on the size
and capacity
