Sungrow, the global inverter and energy storage system (ESS) supplier for renewables, is delivering 13 microgrid projects in Lebanon with its flagship commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage system, the ST129CP-50HV.
The projects will overcome electricity shortages caused by weak and insufficient city utilities and reduce traditional diesel generators' CO2 emissions.
According to Sungrow, the Lebanese are experiencing regular and more frequent power outages that can last for as much as 22 hours. This situation is driving the need for renewable energy installations.
The ST129CP-50HV features a power conversion system as well as batteries, saving space and streamlining the installation process. The modular design also enables more flexibility.
"Sungrow's ESS solutions supplied in this microgrid provide a 24-hour supply for these projects and make it independent from pollutive diesel generation. This leads the company and even other businesses in this country towards low-carbon development," said Alvin Shi, MD of Sungrow MENA Region.
"Lebanon is a perfect place to install solar projects with over 300 sunshine days per year, a potential market to decentralise its electricity supply with more innovative solutions. Sungrow is poised to contribute to its transition journey with our comprehensive solar plus storage solutions in the future."
