From Al Masry Al Youm: Egypt researchers bet on solar energy with ‘Solar House Complex’ project

The National Research Centre’s solar energy department is carrying out a pilot project based on powering many household appliances — heaters, refrigerators, air conditioners, ice makers and dryers — with solar energy.

The Solar House Complex project is about to be launched and will tackle households around Egypt in remote areas deprived of energy and water to improve the residents’ quality of life.

“The locations for the solar house complexes were primarily selected in areas in the Cairo vicinity, such as Imbaba and Qalyubiya, as well as more remote regions like Sinai that lack electricity and clean water,” says Nagwa Khatab, head of the solar energy department.
