SOLAR23 UOSSM, Syria PV POWER FOR HOSPITAL Installation 1
SOLAR23 delivered a 127 kWp solar system to Bab Al-Hawa Hospital in Syria.
After years of violence in Syria, many sections of the electrical grid in Syria were destroyed and went completely out of service. The alternative option that emerged was diesel generators, which resulted in a dependence on diesel. This diesel generator dependence particularly applies to hospitals, mobile clinics, and health care centers that need power to provide urgent medical service.
Bab Al Hawa Hospital (BHH) is the largest and busiest hospital in northern Syria. The hospital treats about 3,500 patients a month, including emergency treatment. The Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM) found that solar energy is the most practical and stable solution to ensure continuous electricity 24/7 and has now planned to install a photovoltaic system.
The project at the Bab Al-Hawa Hospital is the first of its kind in Syria. The Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations decided to assign this contract to a company that has a proven track record of similar reference projects: A home run for the seasoned photovoltaic expert SOLAR23, who won the tender for this solar project and could additionally score due to its Africa expertise, staff skills and financial stability.
Only 100 days were needed to deploy and commission the solar PV system. While system design and configuration had already been specified, it was the task and challenge of SOLAR23 to create a package according to the local building and infrastructure, in line with the tender configuration and specification, comprising matching components and high-quality products “made in Germany” by renowned companies of the solar industry - and should still offer the truly convincing price/performance ratio, which SOLAR23
is known for.
The project includes 480 solar photovoltaic panels with a capacity of 127 kWp DC power, 288 batteries capable of storing 720kWh of power, and advanced data control systems. It is expected to save over 7,000 liters of diesel per month on average. This amounts to approximately 20-30% of the monthly energy cost of the hospital. The system can fully power the ICU, operating rooms, and emergency departments during diesel outages.
SOLAR23 was also responsible for technical planning, delivery and training of local staff and the system conforms to the highest international standards.
