Overview: The only natural resource of Cyprus is solar energy, which is abundantly available. It is thus sensible to develop desalination systems which can even partly be powered from solar energy systems, either through a combination of photovoltaics and the existing or planned reverse osmosis systems or from a combination of solar thermal and distillation evaporators. The first one is considered in this paper. These are all mature technologies and thus the financial risk from their implementation is minimal. The added benefit from the adoption of renewable energy sources, besides the issues related to environmental protection, is that they reduce dependency on imported fuels.
