Call for proposal: consultancy services in solar energy

1. Projects description:

A.1 Qsaibeh Solar Pumping

The site is located in the village of Qsaibeh, South Lebanon. The existing well is used to pump water to a concrete storage tank that in turns distributes water to end-users.

The 118kWp solar pumping system to be installed consists in adding solar panels with all accessories and required electronic equipment to power the existing water pumping system.

The PV panels will produce energy that will be directly used to power the pump without a battery storage. PV panels will produce DC power, the conversion of DC to AC current will be done via a variable speed drive inverter.

The different components ensure smooth operation of the pumping system, linked to the existing power network and providing free energy over an extended period of time.

A.2 Ansar Solar Pumping

The site is located in the village of Ansar, South Lebanon. The existing well is used to pump water to a concrete storage tank that in turns distributes water to end-users.
