Abstract

The modern world faces many challenges that keep up with accelerated urban development.The consumption of traditional energy sources is constantly increasing in order to achieve an environment suitable for human comfort. Consequently, the damage caused by the excessive use of these traditional energies in urban development and its negative impact on the natural environment is increasing especially in urban areas.Current requirements are linked to finding an appropriate alternative sources for energy supply at the top of the country's environmental, urban, economic and political trends to achieve urban sustainability and energy demand. There have been several advanced approaches to generating clean energy that is not polluted to the environment, including solar energy, and with the weak methods of supply of buildings and cities power, especially buildings with electric power in Egypt , it is necessary to search for modern technologies to supply energy. The most prominent of these techniques are photovoltaic systems , which have varied and developed in large scale form, have a clear reflection on the sustainability of the built and non-built environment. The aim of this paper is to introduce the uses of photovoltaic systems and their role in achieving urban sustainability and to identify the extent of their application in Egyptian buildings and cities, as well as the presentation of architectural requirements for the success of this modern technology.
