Ezzor Energy Ltd has experience across a wide range of solar power applications ranging from off grid solar systems to complex projects with integrated energy storage. We have experience and capacity to support solar projects from inception throughout the development and construction stages to the complete lifetime of a plant.
Solar PV or Photo voltaic is simply changing light from the sun in to electric energy. A solar PV panel therefore uses cells to absorb the sun’s rays and converts it in to direct power which is later inverted for use for all electrical loads. PV panels have come a long way in the past 2 decades to allow immense energy saving at lower and lower capital costs. When choosing a solar PV pane there are 2 major types with the mono-crystalline panels widely agreed to be much superior in short- and long-term performance as compared to the poly crystalline panels which are however cheaper.
Monocrystalline solar panels have the highest efficiency rates since they are made out of the highest-grade silicon. The efficiency rates of monocrystalline solar panels are typically 15-20%. SunPower produces the highest efficiency solar panels on the U.S. market today. Their E20 series provide panel conversion efficiencies of up to 20.1%. SunPower has now released the X series at a record-breaking efficiency of 21.5%.
Monocrystalline silicon solar panels are space-efficient. Since these solar panels yield the highest power outputs, they also require the least amount of space compared to any other types. Monocrystalline solar panels produce up to four times the amount of electricity as thin-film solar panels.

Monocrystalline solar panels live the longest. Most solar panel manufacturers put a 25-year warranty on their monocrystalline solar panels. Tend to perform better than similarly rated polycrystalline solar panels at low light conditions.
PV panels can be arranged in different set ups as shown below to achieve a desired result.
These are most common for institutions or areas where there is a high day time load of power.
Main features:
- No batteries which reduces capital cost and prevents recurring costs every few years
- The system has an online inverter which balances out power from solar with power from the mains KPLC grid in micro-seconds to give a stable output of AC power
Advantages:
- No battery cost/ replacement cost
- Shortest return on investment period of just 2.5 years
- The real-time system balancing PV and KPLC power ensure maximum savings provided the system sizing was done well. CSL offers free online monitoring systems installed at the premises before recommending a system for usage.
- Clean energy and very minimal maintenance costs
Disadvantages:
- Does not work at night
- Works with the grid power in tandem, not independently
- Excess energy generated that is not used immediately cannot be stored and is as such wasted, however proper sizing can ensure minimal or zero wastage.
These are most common for institutions or areas where there is no access to main grid power or back-up power is needed
Main features:
- Large battery banks.
- The system works by storing energy from the sun in batteries. The batteries are then discharged through the inverter to give clean energy. In a hybrid system the power can work like a grid-tie system to allow day time loads to run directly off the solar PV panels instead of via the batteries therefore increasing battery life by reducing battery discharge cycles.
Advantages:
- Works when there is no grid power at all
- Cheaper than running a diesel source of power like a generator when over 10kw
Disadvantages:
- Large space and higher maintenance costs
- Battery replacement cost every 5 to 10 years is almost 40% of the cost of the system
- The return on investment against KPLC in this system type is not possible
Applications:
- Solar backup systems
- Solar water Pumping solutions
- Solar security
- Street lighting

“Measurement and Verification” (M&V) is the process of planning, measuring, collecting and analyzing data for the purpose of verifying and reporting energy savings within an individual facility resulting from the implementation of energy conservation measures (ECMs). Savings cannot be directly measured,since they represent the absence of energy use. Instead, savings are determined by comparing measured use before and after implementation of a project, making appropriate adjustments for changes in conditions.
Our installation services include:
- Meter installation calibration and maintenance,
- Data gathering and screening,
- Development of a computation method and acceptable estimates,
- Computations with measured data, and
- Computations with measured data, and
- Reporting, quality assurance, and third-party verification of reports.
When there is little doubt about the outcome of a project, or no need to prove results to another party, applying M&V methods to calculate savings may not be necessary. However, it is still wise to verify (initially and repeatedly) that the installed equipment is able to produce the expected savings. Verification of the potential to achieve savings is referred to as operational verification, which may involve inspection, commissioning of equipment, functional performance testing and/or data trending. IPMVP-adherent M&V includes both operational verification and an accounting of savings based on site energy measurements
before and after implementation of a project, and adjustments.
M&V is not just a collection of tasks conducted to help a project meet IPMVP requirements. Properly integrated, each M&V task serves to enhance andimprove facility operation and maintenance of savings. As shown in the figure below, M&V activities overlap with other project efforts (e.g. collecting data to both identify ECMs and establish energy baselines, commissioning and operational verification of installed ECMs, and installing monitoring systems to track and maintain savings persistence, etc.). Identifying these project synergies and establishing roles and responsibilities of involved parties during project planning will support a coordinated team effort. This can leverage complementary scopes and control M&V-related costs.
