Due to the locations of the schools in rural villages spread across the Bekaa Valley and Northern Lebanon, grid power can be intermittent and unreliable. Asaco designed custom systems using Suntech solar modules for each of the 19 schools, with power outputs ranging from 1.2 kWp to 1.8 kWp. "This is the largest set of solar projects in Lebanon to date, not only in terms of power output, but also because of the large number of sites spread across the country," said Asaco CEO Ramzi AbuSaid.
