أول محطة رفع طاقة شمسية في العالم والتي إفتتحت عام ١٩١٣ واستمر تشغيلها لفترة أقل من عام، اختفت في دروب التاريخ. والآن تغطي المبانى والرمال موقع المحطة في حي المعادي جنوبي القاهرة.
إذا كنت قد سمعت قط بهذا المشروع ذي الرؤية السابقة لعصرها،  رجاء تدوين تعليقك هنا على هذا الموقع اوكتابة حكايات سمعتها من أجدادك حول كيف وظفوا الشمس للعمل.

The world’s first industrial-size solar power plant, completed 1913 and in operation for less than a year, has disappeared from history. At present, sand and houses cover the former location in Maadi, south of Cairo.

If you have any information concerning this visionary project, please feel free to write a comment here on this blog about your memories or any stories your grandparents may have told you about how the sun was put to work.

This blog is open for information and discussions about the «No1 Solar Engine» built in Maadi, Cairo 1913. You don’t need to enter your e-mail address (witch is not shown to the public anyway) but if you want to give us the possibility to contact you, please do.

dear suzanne
we are very excited about the link you were posting here. we did a lot of research about this particular solar plant, but never got to this article. thanks a lot.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWow
I’m hungry to know anything more about the project.

THE LATEST IDEA OF MODERN EGYPT

Samir Raafat was one of the celebrities coming to the opening yesterday. He did some research in the archives of Cairo and brought with him the following articles. We finally know that the official dedication of the sun power plant at Maadi was on the 11th of July 1913.

It’s on 101 street number 6, at the second entrance to Maadi, right next to the gasoline station (Total) behind the fountain. There are big posters and writings on the wall, so you can’t miss it. Find a Google map here:

What an interesting project, and I wish I had heard of this before. I wonder why it was kept under the radar, and if the inventors of solar tube arrays (forgive the inaccurate terminology) in California and other US states, based the product on the No 1 Sun Engine.

It got me thinking about something. I am not a filmmaker myself, but I was thinking of making a documentary about how much of a forceful negative influence John D. Rockefeller and his fellow Robber Barons had in suppressing the development of non fossil fuel based energy sources. Does anyone know if he and other oilmen directed any efforts to make oil king over other options?

Did the No 1 Solar Engine fall by the wayside on its own accord, or was there some outside national interest (U.S.) dictating its viability? I hope Egypt and its neighbors see the light, and begin to rapidly promote alternative energy sources as oil runs out, and perhaps the Solar Engine will be reborn!

I have information about Shuman’s work here in the US and in Cairo in the archives of the Historical Society of Tacony in Philadelphia. If anyone is doing research about the subject feel free to contact me.

hello. you may read the text in the section “press release” to see what is behind this project. and no, we are not egyptians. we are two swiss artists who were invited to the cairo international biennale.

i have got this website from a wall writing, i think the wall is at the location supposed to be the one that hosted the project. how comes that there are no remains at all for such a huge project ?? are you sure that it was in that exact location ??

amazing… i remember these images from grade-school – 40 years ago. it was explained as an example of solar energy; parabolic mirrors focusing sunlight onto iron pipes to produce steam. they never told us that it was defunct, or that all of this apparatus only produced 50hp. turn-of-the-century industrialized nations were quit grand, weren’t they. damned shame about that war.
i am puzzled by the irony of the dates, though: completed in 1913 at an all-time record-breaking low solar minimum – interest renewed here in 2008 (now 2010), another record-breaking low solar minimum, the lowest since that date.

whats happend ? I want to know….the question on the wall in maadi attracted me to know…. I thought the answer was in the site…..pls if u know tell us
and are there any other new and effective projects or tech. in this field.
thank you Christina Hemauer | Roman Keller about your care.
I am from maadi thx again

Vastly superior coatings now permit a considerable improvement in such power-plants. In areas with direct sunlight they represent a clearly superior method of extracting power from the sun, and doing it at a modest cost without exhaling CO2. The “problem” isn’t technical or even practical, it’s political. Oil and coal create the necessity of centralized and capital-intensive operations that, while distributing electrical power, function to collect and concentrate money and economic power – which in turn controls the political arena. The pols are locked in a dance with the oil and coal operations, at everybody else’s expense…

Wo habt Ihr bloß die tollen Fotos her? 🙂
Vielleicht von Interesse – falls Ihr auch weiterhin an dem Thema dran seid -, meine Gesamtübersicht zur Erneuerbaren Energie (Anfang 2012 mit einem Umfang von rund 4.000 Buchseiten) unter http://www.buch-der-synergie.de.

Einen schnellen Überblick bietet das Inhaltsverzeichnis von Teil C: http://www.buch-der-synergie.de/c_neu_html/inhalt_c.htm

Schreibt mal ‘ne Mail, falls Ihr an einer Vernetzung interessiert seid.

Bestes!

Hi,

This is impressive work and thank you very much for the info.

As an advocate for renewable energy, I am really proud to know of an Arab and Egyptian early contribution to solar energy. I hope one day we can visit this site!
I would like to share this with our readers on http://www.ecomena.org.

Thank you.

This story amazed me….I only heard about it after watching Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Cosmos last night….and been on the web doing more reading about it since. Will make sure to visit the historic location during my next trip to beautiful Egypt. Best of luck to all!

I first heard about this plant in a lecture given by Dr. Jürgen Rheinländer.

The following video suggests looking up the patents:

Modern research in this field is done by

testing:

Non only producing electricity (now with steam turbines instead of steam engines) including thermal storage allowing electricity production after sunset, but also for thermo-chemical applications like thermal splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen, or decarbonizing methane, as well as sea water desalting.
