What a typical lithium battery system looks like..
SOC is state of charge. SOH is state of health.
Our first project
At our recycling facility in Ouzai. Three phase off grid inverter. 50kwp solar panels. 70kWh batteries. We’ve only had a few brief cuts in 2 years.
China is building a solar OPEC
Of the top 10 solar companies in the world, 8 are Chinese. None are European.
Is wind a good solution for Lebanon?
Not really because you need an advanced grid to manage it, which of course Lebanon doesn’t have.
How much do solar panels cost?
Solar panels are priced in watts. If you bought directly from the factory, the current price is 0.17-0.25. So a 400 watt panel would cost between 68 and 100 USD.
How much electricity will one solar panel give me?
Because Lebanon is so rich in light, one 330 watt polycrystalline panel should give you a little less than 2kWh per day on average (2 hours at about 5 amps)
Can I build my own solar system?
No. We have seen many people try it and lose a great deal of money. The design, installation, and troubleshooting take years of professional experience. You can try it, but we told you so.
Solar is the cheapest form of electricity. Why? Batteries
The price of solar panels has been declining rapidly for years, to the point where they are almost free. But over the past 3 years, the price of LifePo4 batteries – batteries that last 3,000-5,000 cycles or 10 to 15 years – has crashed as well. This makes the levelized cost of solar + batteries the cheapest 24/7 electricity available…
