Abstract

The objective of this study is to introduce solar energy as an electric and water source to distant communities in desert areas. Fossil fuel dominates world as the major source of energy that can be easily transformed into electricity and used for water reclamation in many societies. However, ambiguities and questions for supplying necessary fuels, such as fossil fuels, leads to more reliable energy sources. The sun is the major source of an alternative energy source and water, and establishing of solar energy dependent community will be explained in the paper, solar oasis. CSP, solar energy generation systems and their comparisons are introduced.
