- 464 kWp: Al Shifa 100 kWp; Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital 364 kWp
- Modules / inverters
- Risen 650 W monocrystalline PERC modules; SMA Sunny Tripower 25 kW string inverters
- Grid connection
- SMA hybrid (fuel-save) controller with hospital generators and grid; surplus export to GEDCO
- Scope
- Design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning
Two rooftop solar PV systems with a combined 464 kWp for Al Shifa Medical Complex (100 kWp) and the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital (364 kWp) in Gaza City, funded by the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) and supervised by the Ministry of Health. A hybrid controller runs the PV with the hospitals' standby generators and the grid, reducing diesel use during Gaza's daily power cuts. MACC designed, supplied, installed and commissioned both systems.
Scope of work
- Design of both rooftop PV systems
- Hot-dip galvanised steel structures fixed to concrete plinths cast on the roof slabs
- Supply and installation of Risen 650 W modules
- SMA string inverters with data managers
- SMA hybrid controller synchronising PV, standby generators and grid
- Main and sub-distribution panels, DC and AC cabling and earthing
- Modification of the hospitals' electricity subscriptions to GEDCO requirements for surplus export
- Monitoring, testing and commissioning
Technology and key components
- Risen RSM132-8-650M monocrystalline PERC modules
- SMA Sunny Tripower STP 25000TL-30 inverters with SMA EDMM-10 data manager
- SMA Hybrid Controller (fuel-save) for PV–generator–grid operation
