This document analyzes Egypt's potential to help solve the world's energy crisis through solar energy exploitation. Egypt receives high levels of solar radiation, with over 30% of the world's electricity consumption received daily. Egypt also has a long history in solar energy production and policies are growing to encourage more solar energy. Harnessing Egypt's abundant solar resources could help address the global energy crisis and dependence on fossil fuels.

Noise, Air and Chemical Pollution is a serious issue in Sydney. Domestic and Commercial/ Motor Vehicles have the highest percentage of greenhouse gas emissions. Pollution can led to serious health problems e.g. respiratory problems, decrease in lung and immune system functions and also has effects on our native flora and fauna.

Peak Shaving Using Grid-Connected Solar Panels Case Study: Ministry of Islami...IJERA Editor
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the application of renewable energy, namely solar energy,for peak shaving during peak loads and to investigate the feasibility of using grid-connected solar system for electricity generation in Ministry of Awqaf mosques. PVsyst software is used to find the optimal design for total connected load of 80 kW. The technical performance of 80 kWgrid-connected photovoltaic (PV) solar systems was investigated. Applying renewable energy in building is required by Kuwait government, all sectors should use 30% of the consumed energy from renewable energy in year 2030. The total cost of the solar systems for 1400 mosques is around 512 million dollars and the total cost of energyis39 milliondollars per year according to 0.2 dollarwhich mean that the payback period within 13 years.Based on the study results, the development of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV)solar system in Awqaf mosques in Kuwait could be economically viable and provide peak shaving during peak loads.
The Role of Renewable Energy in Moving Towards Sustainable TransportationAbdulrazaq Abdulkareem
An analysis of the future of renewable energy; what are the costs, benefits and future prospects for countries moving away from conventional sources of energy in their transportation sector to renewable sources of energy.
The solar energy revolution that began sweep the world a few years ago seems to have stalled, caught up in political games between the industrialised nations and China. However, the future remains bright as the sun is expected to shine again.
Rajendra Shende was invited to write an article on the occasion of OECD Forum of May 2013 about recent ups and downs of the progress and prospects of PV modules and panels in context of its falling prices.

In the past two years, Iran\'s electricity consumption has been increased with an average of 7% over the years. So, as for the Iran’s development programs, it is predicted that this trend continues to rise. On the other hand, despite the widespread development of resources, climatic conditions and restrictions in hydro-electric has caused to decrease the share of electricity generation from dams and water resources within the past 40 years more than 25% to less than 4% and the increasing of country\'s electricity production dependency to power plant steam and gas or compound cycle. also coal resources is limited in our country and cannot be used to electric power generation, thus production of electricity in power plants nationwide compared to global average depends on the hydrocarbon fuel. Primary hydrocarbon energy conversion process to electricity is relatively low and negative environmental impacts, so It seems, turning to nuclear power generation, an inevitable and mentioned plans for country\'s future power supply, and stop this process will damage the country\'s economic development.
All the energy that humans use comes directly or indirectly from the sun. In the
beginning, humans used their own strength, which came from their food. That was the
only energy source for hundreds of thousands of years, until fire was discovered
350,000 years ago, burning wood as fuel. They had discovered the biomass as energy
source.

Solar Energy in EgyptOpportunities to share a solution to the world’s energy crisis
Introduction
The crisis
• 87% of the world primary energy consumption was
fossil fuel (oil, coal and natural gas) in 2012,
depleting (Gonzalez & Lucy, 2013)
• Generally, the fossil fuel prices are trending upwards.
(BP global , 2015)
The alternative
• Sustainable, clean and relatively lower costs than
fossil ones, renewable energy resources.
Aya Ismail Muhammad Zaki Fadillah
• Environmental
costs: global
warming, acid
rain, oil spells,
Ozone hole,
and many
other.
“The energy received by
the sun in one single year,
if entirely captured and
stored, would represent
more than 6 000 years of
total energy consumption.
Capture and distribute
one tenth of one percent
of solar energy, and the energy
supply problem disappears”
(International Energy Agency, 2011)
Main research
Resources potential
• Egypt lies in the solar belt.
• Average Global solar radiation of 5-7 KW.hr/m
2
/day.
• Solar radiation per day on the total Area of Egypt is 6 trillion KW.hr.
• Sunshine hours 9-11 hours.
• Less than 20 cloudy days all through the year.
(Mogahed, 2002)
• Egypt’s area is around 1 million Km
2
, of which only 6% is populated,
the rest is desert.
• A vast space for solar projects is no obstacle at all.
Market Analysis
• 90 million inhabitants national market (2015) .
• Growing numbers of local producers and importers of solar energy
equipment, parts and requirements.
• A list of solar energy industry quality standards, gets elevated by
time.
• Hence, increasing the quality of local and imported products.
( Khalil, Mubarak, & Kaseb, 2010)
• Excellent trade lines with fellow African, middle eastern and
European countries.
• Electricity networks with African and middle eastern countries,
researches has been done to connect networks to Greece
(Europe) too.
(Egyptian Ministry of Electricity and Energy, 2011-2012).

• Egypt’s General policy is to increase the dependency on solar
energy, starting with 20% of total production of energy by 2020.
• Market promotion by mandatory use of solar domestic water
heating policy for all new buildings.
• Customs fees are reduced down to 3% only for solar industry
imports.
• Many authorities responsible for and supporting solar energy
production such as: renewable energy authority.
