Abstract

- Egypt is geographically located in a privileged location in the heart of the global sun belt. Where the Egyptian land is one of the richest lands with a solar nature, and architectural facades are an essential part of solar architecture, and to benefit from Egypt's geographical location in the field of architecture, we must study the path of the sun well to get the best possible design, solar energy is defined as energy resulting from the conversion of sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic solar cells, as it is considered one of the most important sources of renewable energy in the world. It is multi-use in many residential buildings and service buildings with high energy efficiency that employ solar energy in an environmentally friendly environment. Comfortable and user-friendly interior, such as lighting and thermal adjustment requirements.
- Solar cells are photovoltaic materials used to replace traditional building materials in some external parts of the building. Since solar architecture is used to illuminate facades, illuminate buildings, and illuminate interior spaces, it also works to heat buildings and heat water.
