In what is Lebanon’s largest social initiative to date, Suntech has supplied its local partner Asaco General Trade & Contracting with solar panels that will supply power to 19 remote Lebanese schools. The schools were previously depended on the power grid, but because they were located in such remote areas, they suffered through frequent blackouts that made it difficult for the students to learn. To help, Asaco created customized systems for each school using Suntech panels, with outputs ranging from 1.2kWp to 1.8kWp.
In a press release, Nader Jandaghi, Suntech’s Director of Middle East, commented on the project:
“Suntech is proud to support this initiative,” said . “CEDRO’s adoption of solar power for these schools will brighten the lives and enhance the learning of children who will define Lebanon’s future. Together, we want to power a world where everyone has direct and dependable access to nature’s most abundant energy resource.”
