The Contribution of Solar Energy to Reduce Electricity Shortage in the Gaza Strip through Using Photovoltaic Panels as a Replacement to Roofing Tiles
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The The Gaza Strip is suffering from a variety of problems due to the Israeli siege.Electricity shortage is one of the most profound problems causing regular power cuts with drastic effects on people's daily lives. The current electricity shortage reaches 48% of the required 400 MW demand. This study proposes a solution to this problem based on exploiting solar energy, which is highly available in the Gaza Strip, to overcome electricity shortage. Such solution would be suitable for an average household of five persons. From an economic perspective, there is a financial feasibility for replacing roofing tiles with photovoltaic panels. The savings of not using roofing tiles can be used to mount photovoltaic panels which in turn will have huge savings in cutting electricity bills. The overall aesthetic view of the house can also be improved.
