The solar energy sector. EGYPT'S NATURAL CAPABILITIES FOR LEADERSHIP IN THE SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTION SECTOR It is located in the global sun belt region: Egypt is located between latitudes 22 and 31.5 north of the equator, and thus it is located in the global sun belt region. The global sun belt is defined as the region between the equator and latitude 35 north, and it is characterized by large amounts of sunlight.
High rates of sunshine: Egypt has the highest rates of sunshine in the world, exceeding 3,000 hours Phone Number Data per year, and it receives an amount of energy between 2,000 and 3,000 kilowatt-hours per square meter. Length of daylight hours: The sun shines in Egypt for 9-11 hours a day throughout the year, except for a few cloudy days. Availability of suitable lands: Egypt has large areas of vast, uninhabited desert lands, which are very suitable for building giant solar power plants. THE MOST PROMINENT SOLAR POWER PLANTS IN EGYPT 1. Maadi Solar Power Plant (the first plant in the world) In 1913, Egypt witnessed the construction of the first solar power station in the world, and this was under the supervision of the American inventor Frank Schumann.
Whose main concern was to use clean energy to operate machines instead of using coal to ensure that the air remained clean and healthy. Shoman chose Egypt because of its availability of sunlight and its brightness for long hours throughout the year, and the area that witnessed the construction of the first solar power plant was Maadi Al-Khobeiry in Cairo. The goal of the invention was to harness the energy of the sun to operate water-lifting machines that transport Nile water to agricultural lands on cotton farms. These machines were powered by environmentally polluting coal. The idea of the invention was to heat water using sunlight to the boiling point, then use the rising steam to operate a 75-horsepower water-raising machine engine. Using this invention, 6,000 gallons of water could be raised per minute.
