Main scientific objectives:
• Create a data base of relevant local conditions for CSP and PV plants, such as meteorological data, industry capacity, energy demand, current energy production, and grid capacity of the participating MENA countries.
• Develop country specific solar energy roadmaps and concepts for combination of PV and CSP.
• Enhance local participation through capacity building and dissemination of results.
• Produce specifications of hybrid systems, to be applied on future prototypes and demonstrators to be developed in the continuity of this project.
• Demonstrate available subsystems in pilot applications.
