Egypt Set To Build First Nuclear Power Plant Completes RFP 2من اصل3

“When people see an actual built house that fully relies on solar panels as an energy
source in Egypt, they will start to believe in the possibility of turning to alternative
energy, and thus, the country will move forward.”: the contagiously optimistic words of
Egyptian university students that have been working on building a “Solar-House” for
almost two years.
The house is part of a global competition called Solar Decathlon, which takes place
every two years in a different part of the world – and this time, it is in China. The only
African and Middle Eastern team participating in the final stages is from Egypt,
particularly from the American University, and carries the name   “Slide-S”.
The 20-member-team is going head-to- head with Israel, China, Belgium, United
States, Turkey, Iran, England, Australia, Switzerland, Sweden, Malaysia, and Singapore,
in order to build the most efficient, solar-driven house. The houses are evaluated
according to their architecture, market appeal, engineering, communications,
affordability, hot water, appliances, home entertainment, energy balance and comfort
zone.
