Journal Article
Honnurvali, M. S., Gupta, N., Goh, K., Umar, T., & Nazeema, N. (2017). Study of photovoltaics (PV) performance degradation analysis in Oman. International Journal of Sustainable Energy Development, 6(2), 334-343. https://doi.org/10.20533/ijsed.2046.3707.2017.0043

The demand for electricity usage is increasing all around the globe. As an alternative and clean source to produce electricity there has been an emphasis on the usage of renewable energies. Sultanate of Oman has also taken an initiative by 2030 that... Read More about Study of photovoltaics (PV) performance degradation analysis in Oman.

The potential of biomass for electricity regeneration in Oman (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Umar, T., & Egbu, C. (2017). The potential of biomass for electricity regeneration in Oman. In G. Aouad, A. Al‐Hajj, & C. Egbu (Eds.), Proceedings of the International Conference on Sustainable Futures (245-151)

Oman, like other Arab gulf countries, depends on oil and gas to produce electricity. However, these resources are not guaranteed to last forever and constitute one of the energy security issues in the country. This article explores the potential o...

Solar Shimmer (2017)
Physical Artefact
Nicoletti, E., & Castronovo, A. (2017). Solar Shimmer. [Solar Artwork]. The Fire Station Artist in Residence, Doha

Inspired by motifs recurring in Bedouin textiles, Solar Shimmer is a kinetic screen that displays a vibrant, geometric pattern created with solar energy and discarded plastics. The physical ‘pixels’ forming the pattern consist of colourful solar-powe... Read More about Solar Shimmer.

Rooftop solar photovoltaic energy: A case study of India (2017)
Journal Article
Umar, T. (2017). Rooftop solar photovoltaic energy: A case study of India. Nanomaterials and Energy, 6(1), 17-22. https://doi.org/10.1680/jnaen.16.00002

Photovoltaic (PV) devices generate electricity directly from sunlight through an electronic process that occurs naturally in certain types of materials called semiconductors. The electrons in these materials are freed by solar energy and can be induc... Read More about Rooftop solar photovoltaic energy: A case study of India.
