The charity unit “Elwalaa w Elwafaa for special needs”

We are able to implement a rooftop solar energy system and consequently significantly decrease its monthly electricity bills.

The installation of a solar energy system at the charity unit

The installation of a solar energy system at the charity unit plays a vital role in addressing the escalating global concern for sustainable energy solutions. By transitioning from fossil fuel-dependent energy sources to renewable solar power, the charity unit not only reduces its carbon footprint but also contributes to the global effort of curbing CO2 emissions. This initiative aligns with Egypt’s endeavor to explore green alternatives and signifies a significant step towards a cleaner, greener energy future. Currently, the charity unit is suffering deeply from the shortage of the donations and is not able to pay for the electricity bills. 

Therefore, with the financial support of IEEE HTB,
we are able to implement a rooftop solar energy system and consequently significantly decrease its monthly electricity bills.

What is the mission of the charity unit?

The charity unit “Elwalaa w Elwafaa for special needs” was established in 2003. It provides care for 39 orphans and disabled persons with mental/physical disabilities. Their ages range from 8 years to 45 years. It provides them with the medical care they need as well as the training required for each case based on his/her needs. It also facilitates the possibility to participate in handmade artwork whenever possible. 

What impact does the solar energy system have on Egypt’s energy landscape and the charity unit’s sustainability goals?

By embracing solar energy through the implementation of advanced photovoltaic technology, the charity unit contributes to reshaping Egypt’s energy consumption dynamics towards a greener and more sustainable future. The substantial reduction in carbon emissions associated with traditional electricity generation methods underscores the positive environmental impact of the solar energy system. Additionally, by prioritizing energy efficiency and renewable solutions, the charity unit sets a commendable example for fostering sustainability and resilience within its operations, thereby advocating for a cleaner and more sustainable energy landscape in Egypt. 

How does the utilization of photovoltaic technology benefit the charity unit’s energy consumption?

The adoption of photovoltaic technology underscores the charity unit’s commitment to harnessing renewable, environmentally-friendly energy sources. This cutting-edge technology ensures the generation of sustainable energy, empowering the charity unit to meet a substantial portion of its electricity demand with clean solar power. Moreover, the integration of bi-directional net-metering enhances the efficiency and flexibility of the system, allowing seamless interaction with the grid while promoting self-sufficiency in energy production.
