Dubai an ideal place for Micro Generation

You might of noticed the posting frequency has dropped
off in the last few weeks, this has been due to the impact of starting
a new job, a lot of travel, and infrequent access to computers. Things
are beginning to stabilise a bit so we should get back to more regular
posting. The traffic on the site is growing, albeit slowly, month on month, so someone is reading this stuff! So many thanks to anyone who has stopped by.

During my recent travels I have spent a fair amount of time in Dubai, and one thing that struck me about the place was that it has all the requirements for ideal micro-generation. The first thing is that year round almost constant sunlight is just asking for solar PV, and secondly a reliable strong onshore wind during the day, often followed by an offshore breeze in the evening, as the land heats up and cools down. A good business opportunity for someone willing to sell complete off grid systems to millionaire builders on the Dubai world perhaps?
