Abstract

In   the   first   party   of   this   article,   a   particular attention  is  being  given  to  first  the  Sahara  in  terms  of  solar potential  capability  in  that  it  could  capture  enough  solar  energy to   meet   the   entire   world's   electricity   needs, secondto   its possibility of attracting inhabitant for accessing to a good quality life, agriculture and energy infrastructure.  This   article   also   concerns   the   multidisciplinary   project   of developing and realising reference PV energy powered village in the Sahara of Algeria that would bridge the research and on site experiences. The project will be initiated on the same model of a huge  laboratory  regrouping  several  university  researchers  and research  centres  throughout  Algeria.  This  will  help  training  the population for using advance techniques that would help them in organising their new life. The project will also provide a research platform to demonstrate and optimize environmental technologies  to  enable  restorative  growth  in  desert  areas  in  the Sahara  and  around  the  world.  Crucial  objectives  are  targeted  at substantially  increasing  and  enhancing  the  contribution  of  solar energy and favouring energy and food self-sufficiency. This pilot project  implemented  in  the  Sahara      justifies  the  possibility  to accelerate   the   use   of   indigenous   solar   energy   resource, particularly  for  electricity  supply,  agriculture,  architecture,  civil and   hydraulic   engineering,   biology...and   the   possibility   of developing    small    businesses    in    areas    of    low    economic development.
