Role of CSP in South Africa’s Power Sector

Demand for electricity in South Africa has increased progressively over several years and the grid now faces supply and demand challenges. As a result, the Department of Energy has implemented a new Integrated Resource Plan to enhance renewable energy generation capacity and promote energy efficiency. Solar photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) are set to be the main beneficiaries from the new plan having their initial allocation raised considerably. Daily power demand in South Africa has a morning and evening peak, both in summer and winter. This characteristic makes CSP with storage a very attractive technology for generating electricity … Continue reading

أدنى بقعة في العالم تنتج أكبر طاقة شمسية في فلسطين

تشير الإحصاءات إلى أن أكثر من 98٪ من الطاقة يتم استيرادها من إسرائيل، وهو ما يعني أن فلسطين في الوقت الحالي تعتمد بالكامل على الاحتلال الاسرائيلي  لتزويد احتياجاتها من الطاقة والكهرباء, ونظراً لأن فلسطين تستقبل اشعاعاً شمسياً يعتبر الاعلى في العالم وأن أسعار البترول والمشتقات التفطية تعتبرعالية نسبياً بالمقارنة بالدول العربية والعالمية الاخرى فان وجود الطاقة المتجددة لتعزيز وتطوير الطاقة المستدامة للفلسطينيين هو من الأهمية بمكان وأن التركيز على تقليل الاعتماد على واردات الطاقة من الاحتلال الاسرائيلي وزيادة استخدام مصادر الطاقة المتجددة المتاحة في فلسطي هو من سبل تعزيز صمود ومواجهة للاحتلال الاسرائيلي . المقدسيون وهم سكان القدس المحتلة يواجهون … Continue reading

Current Renewable Energy Potential in Egypt – An Overview

Egypt aims to increase the share of renewable energy in electricity generation to 42% by 2035, compared to 20% in 2022. This strategy is based on Egypt’s desire to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The Egyptian government aims to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and increase the overall share of renewable energy sources in electricity generation to meet the growing demand for energy. This shift aims to reduce the negative effects resulting from dependence on fossil fuels, such as high carbon emissions, higher energy intensity, and increased subsidies for fossil fuels. According to NREA (2023), the total electricity generation  from … Continue reading

Beating the Texas Heat: The Role of Weatherization in Enhancing Solar Panel Performance

Texas is known for its scorching summers and intense heatwaves, making it a challenging environment for solar panel performance. However, with the right weatherization techniques, you can maximize the efficiency and longevity of Metro Express solar panels even in the face of extreme temperatures. How Heat Impacts Solar Panel Performance One of the key factors that affect solar panel performance in hot climates is heat. When solar panels get too hot, their efficiency decreases, which can lead to a drop in power output. This is known as the “temperature coefficient,” which measures how much the panel’s efficiency decreases as the … Continue reading

What is a Solar Power Generator?

As the global climate worsens, governments and people have shifted to renewable energy sources, making solar power generators a viable option to consider. Solar power generators harvest the sun’s energy and transform it into electricity. They require no fuel and produce no emissions, adding to their feasibility and environmental friendliness. Let’s explore them further: How Solar Power Generators Work? A solar power generator generates electricity by converting sunlight into direct current (DC) power via solar panels. The charge controller receives this electricity and controls the power flow to the battery, which also helps avoid overcharging. The energy is stored in … Continue reading
