Project Idea
Concrete absorbs the sun
We have identified solar energy, because it is clean, renewable and infinite energy,
which helps the project to be sustainable for life.
Concrete absorbs solar energy in the morning and releases it at night through its lighting,
which reduces the use of electricity, and contributes to preserving the environment and reducing climate change.
Project obstacles
According to Mayar, they faced many difficulties, the most important of which were the chemicals used in the project,
and tested them in more than one laboratory in Egypt’s universities, most notably Ain Shams University,
with no prior research available on the project, and we were testing all materials and seeing their effect on concrete.

Also, materials were used from inside the concrete, so as not to be affected by external factors such as cars.
Project Objective
As for the project’s objectives, she said: The project cost is low and provides electricity,
so they wish to implement the project in Egypt, especially with the construction of national projects and bridges in Egypt now.
And Mayar continued, saying: We participated in a conference at the university called Eureca,
and the project was discussed and we got an honors degree,
in addition to our participation in the annual meeting of the Transportation Research Council held in Washington, USA,
which increased our great experience when dealing with experts in the field of transportation in the world.
