Developing Solar PV power generation
Having 150,700 square meters of roofs available from Governorate’s buildings in the City of Luxor and
assuming 60% of these roofs can be used, we would have 90,500 square meters for Solar PV installation,
meaning a capacity to install 12,500 kWp – a global investment of 16 million € for a potential production of
22,500 MWh/y.
The priority action #5 recommends a staged approach with a first round tapping on 50% of the entire
potential, meaning installing 7,500 kWp: for example, 50 units of 100 kWp and 10 units of 250 kWp.

Developing Solar Water Heating systems
Such systems can be used to cover hot water needs in any buildings. There use is even more interesting in
schools, mosques, and hospitals with higher requirements for hot water.
One Governorate building with 100 municipal staff and 25 visitors on average (125 persons) would need 1,250
litres per day (10 litres each). This need will be easily covered with 14 collectors of 1 square meter each. Kits
available on the market are composed of a 300 litres tank and 3 collectors. 5 units of this type will be sufficient
to cover the needs of such a building. Each unit costs EGP 12,000 (€ 584) all-inclusive (2017 prices).
The installation will cost 2,920 € and produce 13,800 kWh/y avoiding electricity expenses of 497 €/y, hence
offering a payback period of 6 years maximum. In the meantime it will reduce GHG emission by 7,500
KCO 2eq/y.
The priority action #5 propose to equip develop 100 buildings with 5 SWH units of 3 collectors.

Note that elementary school would require more water per user, hence the ration of Units / user might
change, but the overall economy of this component of the project remains the same, with the same payback
period of maximum 6 years.
