How much solar energy does Lebanon generate a year?

In addition, Lebanon has tremendous scope for generating solar energy. Based on the global solar atlas map, it is found that the annual average of GHI of Lebanon varies from 1680 to 2118 kWh/m 2. The highest global horizontal irradiation is in the western part of Lebanon, which ranges from 5.4 to 5.8 kWh/m 2 /day.

Why is solar power so popular in Lebanon?

That goal of encouraging renewable energy in Lebanon has been aided by the fact that solar power is now the most affordable way to generate electricity around the world. The cost has dropped by more than 90% over the past decade, thanks to rapid technology gains and a glut in solar-panel production.
