Notes:  
1. In all accounts related to charcoal and wood, a unified calorific value was used for each of the charcoal and wood based on the weight of each type in the balance, and the  calorific value for both was considered to be 15.79 gigajoules/ton
2. The efficiency of the solar water heater was considered to be 45% and the consumed energy is half of the produces quantity.  
3. The technical losses in electricity in Palestine are considered to be 12% based on the Palestinian Energy and Natural Resources Authority.
