In June 2022 MACC began work on two rooftop solar PV systems totalling 464 kWp for Al Shifa Medical Complex and the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza City, funded by PCRF.
In June 2022 MACC started work on two rooftop solar PV systems for Al Shifa Medical Complex (100 kWp) and the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital (364 kWp) in Gaza City. The contract, funded by the Palestine Children's Relief Fund and supervised by the Ministry of Health, covers design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning.
Both systems use Risen 650 W monocrystalline modules on hot-dip galvanised steel structures fixed to the roof slabs, with SMA Sunny Tripower 25 kW string inverters. An SMA hybrid controller runs the PV together with the hospitals' standby generators and the grid, reducing diesel use during Gaza's daily power cuts, and surplus power is exported to GEDCO.
The scope also includes the main and sub-distribution panels, DC and AC cabling, earthing and monitoring, and modification of the hospitals' electricity subscriptions to GEDCO requirements. The systems were completed in July 2023.
