“…The estimated total energy is 169,400 TW hour/year. This number covers the country's annual energy requirement 5,000 times (Mounir, 2013). With the request of the Albanian government, UNDP and GEF-supported work has been initiated since 2009 to increase solar-powered water heating technologies.…”

Studies which assess the economical contributions of practices of Department of Forest Villages Relations (DoFVR) to the region or nation is of a limited number. In order for DoFVR to develop its policies, it is necessary to identify the economical contribution of its practices at the local, regional and national level. To create awareness of the economical dimensions of the DoFVR Solar Energy Systems practices, by assessing its contributions to the economy of the local, regional and national economy. The study takes within its scope the economical contributions of the DoFVR Solar Energy Systems implemented in the forest villages in Turkey by taking into consideration the data from the forest villages of the Western Mediterranean Region. Written resources regarding the topic was obtained from related public organisations and institutions by the screening method. Unique data was collected with questionnaires developed for face to face interviews. The SES practices were implemented for 3,447 families in a total of 152 forest villages in the Western Mediterranean Region. A sample of 15-20% of the population of each village with the SES was obtained. In additional a survey was conducted with 314 enterprises in the West Black Sea Region. These samples details; A face-to-face survey was conducted with a total of 157 firms in the West Black Sea Region, 133 of which made sheathing during the period 2012-2015 and 24 of which applied Room heater and stove with oven. A total of 2,590 SES implementations were made in this region in 2010-2015. It was aimed to sample an equal number of families from both groups in order to compare the firewood savings of the companies in the scope of SES implementation for firewood saving, supported with sheathing, stove with oven and room heater. For this reason, 157 families/enterprises benefiting from SES support were sampled as well as another 157 families/enterprises benefiting from sheathing, Room heater, and stove with oven support. According to the number of families for which the SES was implemented in the forest villages of the region between 2005-2011, the practice leads to a total annual saving of 10,800 stere. The SES practice has been implemented nationwide to 145 thousand families. According to this, the total annual contribution for the nation is 454 thousand stere. This amount shows that there is approximately an annual saving of 340.5 thousand m 3 of wood.

Solar energy has a great potential in many areas of industrial activity in Algeria. This is because most of Algeria has high levels of sustainable solar insulation. Unfortunately, few industries use solar energy for hot water generation, but some industrial processes require hot water at temperatures that can be easily obtained from solar thermal panels. This paper presents a case study to investigate the technical and financial feasibility of a solar-powered industrial agro-processing system in Algiers. Based on the solar collectors connection type for which the economic feasibility study was carried out, an appropriate design of the system was determined. The latter was actually done by analyzing the levelized cost of energy savings. The design of the thermo-solar process is carried out based on F-chart method with a new approach by integrating the incidence angle modifier and of using real and experimental data requirements to determine realistic achievable performance of the solar process. The results showed that, in comparison to the currently used electrical system, the electrical energy savings achieved by the solar-powered system make it an economically viable option with a solar coverage rate of 80%. The investment depreciation balance shows that the use of such a thermal solar energy system will be more competitive than fossil fuels system if the price of electricity in the country increases from 0.048 to 0.075 €/kWh.

Aim : Methodology :Results : Interpretation :This study investigated the results of the survey carried out on solar energy systems in 2005, by the General Directorate of Forest-Village Relations (GDoFVA), with the objective of minimizing the consumption of firewood to obtain hot water.Data concerning the impact of solar energy systems on forest villages was obtained by means of a face-to-face survey and 629 questionnaires, conducted in 152 forest villages of Antalya, Burdur and Isparta provinces, located in the Western Mediterranean Region of Turkey. Frequency distributions and the percentage of statements were assessed using Chi-square and simple correlation analysis methods.The General Directorate of Forest-Village Relations, (GDoFVA), stated that use of solar energy systems, decreased the consumption of firewood by 60-70% in forest villages. In contrast, the results of the current study showed that forest villages of the Western Mediterranean Region had saved firewood in the region of 20-30% by using SES.The average consumption of firewood per household in the forest villages of the Western Mediterranean Region is 11.74 stere per annum. If the saving of firewood was found to be 30%, then the average amount of firewood saved per household was 3.2 stere per annum. The saving of firewood using solar energy systems was estimated approximately 336,042 TL annually, according to the market prices for households. On the other hand, the solar energy systems practices do suggest support that is successful social enhance practice and economic additive. The practice has ensured a significant social d e v e l o p m e n t i n f o r e s t villagers.
