This platform helps spreading awareness about the use of solar energy as a clean, sustainable energy through:
1. The hub has a database of PV market, certified PV installers (categorized by name, city, and projects and the validity dates of their certificates), as well as PV installations all over Egypt.
2. The hub provides a user-friendly interface where:
I. The clients can find detailed information about entities that give financial and technical support for implementing PV Systems in different sectors.
II. Clients can read about stakeholders and PV technologies, find all financial and legal information related to PV, and fees required to distribution companies, samples of application forms and useful online resources, such as the calculator to calculate required power and approximate cost.
III. PV installer can register and send a certification request to NREA, attach required documents and pay fees securely online.
IV. The certified PV installer can submit an installation request to the distribution company, with the ability to follow up their request.
V. Distribution companies are notified about any new requests sent by the PV installers and can display it, update the request status, and can generate statistical reports.

The project is replicable

The Project is sustainable

This project promotes WSIS values of sustainable use of natural resources, and encourages the use and promotion of ICTs as an instrument for environmental protection. The project will catalyze the development of renewable energy power generation market in Egypt. PV energy can be used to provide electricity for all sectors (residential, commercial, industrial). It is environmentally friendly and a non-polluting source of energy, so it has a great effect and helps prevent climate change and global warming especially by reducing CO2 emissions. The platform provides all data related to PV systems to the citizen, where he they can easily access the estimated cost of installing cells, the procedures and documents required for installation and connection to the electricity grid, and view everything new in the field. The users can also find data on all certified companies working in the field, and thus the use of this energy can lead to a leap in investments and industry, which gives a great advantage to the Egyptian economy. The platform also helps save time and effort for PV companies, where they can communicate with entities in other governorates easily, thus ensuring adequate returns on targeted private sector investments.
