The general results of the research showed that the increase in the value of the electricity bill led to the rationalization of energy use, but it did not lead to the use of solar energy.The study recommended the introduction of solar energy systems in urban communities and new cities, working on producing a local product model for solar systems and supporting it with financing systems through local banks and providing it to consumers in order to increase the use of solar energy on a large scale.Review the technical specifications of electrical appliances and the most important air conditioners imported from abroad and produced locally to ensure the efficiency of energy use.
