Economical Investigation of the Feasibility of Utilizing the PV Solar Lighting for Jordanian Streets

摘要

Jordan blessed with a various type of renewable energy resources, being located on the Sun Belt is the most perspicacious and substantial matter. In spite of these facts the energy problem is one of the most frustrating challenges facing Jordan these days, causing tremendous pressure on the country's economy, obviously the solution lies in reducing the proportion of the imported fuel for the benefit of exploitation of renewable energy sources. Street lighting is a vital sector in any country growth. This vital sector represents 2% of annual electricity consumption in Jordan. This paper will introduce feasibility study for the installation photovoltaic cells in street lighting for existing and futuristic project as a step toward solving the problem facing this sector. The study shows that photovoltaic is feasible for futuristic due to minimizing the work frame time and the cost required for the infrastructure.
