Solar Heating Makes A Lot Of Sense In Lebanon

One of the biggest complaints about summer in Lebanon is that most electricity output is diverted to luxury resorts, hotels and the tourism sector in general, leaving the rest of the population under a terrible rationing regime.

But another aspect of summer might as well be its redeeming feature: The smoldering sun. Yesterday, with the help of the Spanish embassy, Lebanon’s first project for solar power heating at government hospitals was inaugurated.

The best thing is that It will cut reheating energy costs by 50%, and it will provide an uninterrupted source of energy that won’t be affected at all by the amount of tourists who come in.
