Abstract
The main sources of energy that might be available in remote low populated areas Libya are either diesel generating units or wind mills for water pumping. Several problems in the working performance of these two types of energy production may arise due to environmental conditions. The lack of qualified technicians for regular and emergency maintenance reduces the energy sources' availability. Direct conversion of solar energy can replace other ways of energy delivery or production, specially in this country where the solar radiation all over the year is relatively high. On the other hand the direct conversion of solar energy is relatively expensive, however the cost of erecting long feeders and supervising them may be much expensive than the usage of solar systems. This paper investigates the economics associated with either solutions of energy production. A case study is given in details to supply one of the remote areas with population of about 250.
