Jordan, mosques become “sustainable” thanks to solar energy – TGCOM

– In Jordan the “bill” electric media of a mosque is around 1,200 Euros per month. That’s why the government has decided to provide about 6 thousand places of worship all over the Kingdom of solar panels, which would guarantee a significant reduction in energy costs while protecting the environment. The project will start this year with the installation of photovoltaic cells on the roofs of 120 mosques.

Point to the sun – The minister of energy and resources of the Government of Jordan Ahmad Abu Saa argues that “the mosques employ a large amount of electricity and this project will help significantly reduce their bills as the sun is at least 300 days a year. ” Jordan, according to data reported by the Jordan Times, imports about 96% of its annual energy needs and is focusing on several projects in the field of renewable energy.

The mosque “solar” Amman – In the capital Amman is already a mosque with solar panels. This is Abu Ghaweileh, in the district of Tlaa Al Ali, which is equipped with a photovoltaic system thanks to a donation spontaneous citizen of approximately 20 thousand euro. From April, the structure will begin to depend solely on the sun for lighting and air conditioning. An important initiative that says the imam Nidal Alayyan, is the brainchild of a group of young engineers of the neighborhood, while the fundraiser lasted a couple of years. The surplus energy, adds the imam, will be sold to the main network.
