I hope you are fine.

I am a farmer here in Pakistan where the temperature remains over 35 degress celcius most of the year and I need information about installing and operating at least 2 mega watt solar system from renowned manufacturers and intallers. Can you guide please ?

The other aspect that makes the large scale solar thermal interesting is the storage capacity for off-peak (re: night) use. Large molten salt reservoirs are maintained to continue power production during the night.

Think I was looking for something else on yahoo . Not sure I agree 100% with what you say, but have bookmarked and will pop back to read to see if you add any more posts. Keep up the good work

I thought that in the desert PV is a better choice, especially with using thin film type new materials.

I mean, even without desalination, it doesn’t require that much replacement of water once it’s in full capacity. right?

I wish the project well, and that new desalinasation techs will make it truly sustainable.

What could be better than a pyramid of solar power in Egypt!!
