The average weather in Egypt 81.9 F at all seasons as most of the landscape of egypt is covered by desert.

The Government tries to utilize the climate weather in a prospective source of finding eco friendly environment

They don’t produce much power through wind power and atomic power for a supply of civil.

The government projects turned to the renewable energy system and they started producing solar energy plants.

The best suitable products to export or import the solar panel devices as the demand is drastically been increasing commercially.

Households also started using the solar power system as alternate power solution to save the cost of living in cities such as Cairo, Alexandra, etc.

PRODUCT SUITABILITY

EXPORT PERSPECT: • The new Egyptian government apparently sees solar energy as being a key part of the country’s future• The Egyptian Government tries to achieve its target of using renewable energy for 20 per cent of its

energy needs in five years’ time.• Egypt essentially has a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh). The climate is generally

extremely dry all over the country except on the northern mediterrian costal areas.• The Egypt Government engourages solar panel usage among industries and all segment of

environment in the country.• The usage of solar panel is almost in all verticals including the army of Egypt. • The market demand of solar panels as well as devices are manufactured in Egypt however, the import

of the solar panel from the middle east and other Asian countries are having good volume in the country.

• Out of Market analysis and physical environmental research the best suitable to export are solar panels to the egyptian market.

CHARACTERISTIC OF PRODUCT

A Solar (PV) Cell or a Panel / Module produces its maximum current when there is no resistance in the circuit, i.e. when there is a short circuit between its Positive and Negative terminals.

• The Solar panels are widely used in Egypt to generate energy for the industrial and commercial activities also includes government social activities

• Solar power plants are dynamic in nature, therefore they can be combined with existing power sources to form hybrid energy system to enhance and meat energy requirements.

• Solar panels do not require much maintenance, they are very durable. • Solar energy is very friendly to environment, and it does not pollute air.• Solar panels are consist of arrays formed by small sized solar cells, they come in different sizes and

shapes.• Solar industry is bringing lots of jobs in market and making lives better all around the world.

EXPORT TO EGYPT

Solar panels are best suitable product to export target market:

World market for PV modules and systems is currently heavily influenced by government policies, mainly subsidies, exports , directed credit as aid

Energy consumption more or less equal to production from all sources. Large potential of Renewable Energy but limited utilization. The Company has also the premium category which has acquired the peak of global

market share. Electric power consumption (kWh per capita) in Egypt was last measured at 1742.91 in

2011 Large landscape to install macro solar plants potentially increase of consumption of

solar power as primary energy solution.

POTENTIALITY OF EXPORT

Solar Panels and components are mainly used to manufacturing industries in commercial secotor such as

Solar PV modules; Solar batteries; solar charge controllers; solar lighting kits; Solar-powered water pumps; d.c. -a.c. power converters; Solar cooking ovens Solar cooking ovens. Solar Water Heaters

EXPORT POTENTIALITY

Egypt is one of the worlds leader in Manufacturing solar thermal power. The raw material requirement of solar manufacturing has always demand in Egyptian trade

industries. The country is located at the world’s solar belt with annual sunshine duration up to 4,000

hours. The New and Renewable Energy Authority is considering developing two new hybrid

facilities at sites between Luxor and Aswan.

CONCLUSION

Egypt is an attractive market that can offer major business opportunities to informed traders and investors.

However it is not always an easy market. A successful entry into Egypt will be determined by the quality of the information and

advice upon which the decision to enter is based. Continued success is also dependent upon the ability to navigate the laws and

practices of Egypt.
