Abstract
SUMMARY
Â
SWOT stands for Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats. The combination of this information in a four quadrant form is often used to improve decision making in strategic planning in various applications. This allows quick qualitative overview and helps the planners to understand how to better capitalize on strengths and opportunities or how can he/she overcome weaknesses and improve abilities to deal with upcoming challenges. The SWOT method can be used at all levels either a company or whole industry sectors in a country level to assess the concerned situation.
This paper describes the formation and application of the SWOT method for analyzing photovoltaic state of the art, potential and future prospects for development of photovoltaic systems in Egypt. These include small and large scale photovoltaic electricity generation, photovoltaic systems production, and installation. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are discussed. Installed capacities and types of energy sources in Egypt are presented, including the progress and use of photovoltaic systems. Finally, general recommendations for the development of photovoltaic systems in Egypt are reported.
