Dr. Engineer Zaid Ghanem Ali, Director of Laboratories at Al-Mansour University College, revealed the successful results after a year of operating the solar energy system in one of the college's buildings, the system generates more than 20,000 watt-hours and operates efficiently without interruption, even during the winter months.
Dr. Zaid noted that the system was installed on the second floor of one of the laboratory buildings and was able to overcome many of the technical obstacles that typically accompany the adoption of alternative energy, particularly those associated with traditional fuel systems or frequent power outages.
Dr. Zaid added that the system has proven to be environmentally friendly and stable in performance, making it an ideal choice for a country like Iraq, which boasts year-round sunshine, he called on government agencies and private banks to support this trend by facilitating citizens' purchase of these systems, particularly those that use modern lithium batteries and nighttime energy storage technologies, this initiative comes as part of a comprehensive vision adopted by Al-Mansour University College to promote environmental and technological innovation and provide an effective model for higher education institutions in Iraq and the region.
