All of Egypt has a much higher solar resource for concentrated solar power than most regions. Its DNI is at least 2000 kWh/m2 even along the northern coast, making this ideal for 100% solar desalination with CSP. According to Fady Elsayed Senior Project Development Manager, Southern Africa, at Infinity Power, the Egyptian Government has launched …
