R&D Lab, CIIT Islamabad will prepare a complete project proposal for SOLAR ELECTRICITY GENERATION, once the area and location is decided by both the parties. R&D Lab will then submit complete project proposal in next 20 working days. No consultancy charges will be charged during the preparation of project proposal unless some mobility is involved [...]

Prof. Waqar Haider Bokhari remained a member of the first solar energy working group of Pakistan from 1975  to 1980 and worked on a number of solar energy applications like water geyser, solar cooker and vegetable drier but due to very low prices of electricity in those days did not find much response to his [...]

By Waqar Haider Bokhari, Advisor R & D Lab, CIIT, Islamabad. Abstract: After discussing the technological aspects of Solar Thermal Energy utilization for large scale power generation and a review of work done at CIIT, a cost benefit analysis of Solar Thermal Energy has been performed. It has been argued that completely indigenous solutions are possible [...]

Solar Water Geysers, designed and fabricated in R&D Lab, CIIT Islamabad have been shifted to CIITs Chak Shahzad campus in January 2009. A proper plan for installation of 07 out of 18 Solar Water Geysers on the roof top of Physics block is attached with this letter. The process for installation under goes since January [...]

Fresnel’s concentrators with evacuated jacket stainless steel storage tanks can be most effectively used for domestic cooking.  Fresnel’s Mirror concentrators are low cost solar radiation concentrators with the additional advantage of offering low wind loads. Therminol oil heated and stored at a temperature greater than 300 degree centigrade can be circulated in specially designed cooking stoves. Waqar [...]

Solar panels or photovoltaic cell arreys, as they are called, are the most convenient  energy convertors as of today. However due to the high cost of invertors and batteries they can be hardly feasible. Due to the intermittent nature of Solar Energy, storage plays a very vital role in any Solar Energy solution. While solar panels have [...]

Solar Thermal Energy for Power Generation; the Need for Solar Concentrators Steam turbines require high pressure steam for the generation of electricity and hence high intensity solar radiation is needed. There are various types of solar concentrators which include parabolic dishes, cylindrical parabolic troughs, multiple flat mirror arrangements and Fresnel mirror arrangement. A lot of [...]

Introduction Most of the third world countries lie on the high insolation solar belt resulting in a highly advantageous situation for the use of solar energy. It is very unfortunate that the planners of these countries look towards to those countries for their energy solution which themselves are not very lucky as for this gift [...]
