摘要：

In this paper, the share of solar energy in the energy mix in Jordan for the years 2002 and 2007 is estimated by calculating the energy equivalent of solar energy systems whether utilized or to be utilized. The share of solar energy in the energy mix in Jordan in the year 2002 is estimated to be around 1.7-1.8%, The expected share of solar energy in the total energy mix in the year 2007 is estimated to be around 2.1%. Assuming that the crude oil prices in the year 2007 is going to be 30 US$ bbl(-1) (20 Jordan Dinars 'JDs' bbl(-1)), the cost of required primary energy for Jordan will be around 736 million JDs. Thus the 2.1%) share of solar energy would save around 16 million JDs per year of imported energy. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
