Frequently Asked Questions

All Your Solar Questions, Answered

How much can I save with solar energy in Lebanon?

Most Lebanese households cut their electricity costs by 70–90% after switching to solar. With rising generator subscriptions and EDL tariffs, a properly sized Nakhoul Solar system typically pays for itself within 2 to 4 years, then delivers free energy for decades.

How many solar panels do I need for my home?

It depends on your daily consumption, roof size, and how many hours of backup you want. A small apartment may need 4–6 panels, while a full villa often requires 12–20. We provide a free assessment and design a system perfectly sized to your needs and budget.

What is the difference between lithium and lead-acid batteries?

Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries last 8–15+ years, charge faster, allow deeper discharge, and require no maintenance. Lead-acid batteries are cheaper upfront but last only 2–4 years and need regular care. For most Lebanese homes, lithium is the smarter long-term investment.

How long do GSL lithium batteries last?

GSL Energy lithium batteries are rated for 6,000+ cycles, which translates to 10–15 years of reliable daily use. They come with a long manufacturer warranty, and as the official GSL distributor in Lebanon, Nakhoul Solar handles all warranty support locally.

Does solar work during power outages?

Yes. A hybrid or off-grid Nakhoul Solar system continues to power your home during EDL cuts using stored energy from your batteries. You stay connected, with no generator noise, no fuel costs, and no rationing.

What warranty do you provide on solar systems?

Every product we sell is backed by the official manufacturer warranty — typically 10+ years on solar panels, 5–10 years on inverters, and up to 10 years on lithium batteries. We manage every warranty claim locally on your behalf.

Are you an official GSL Energy distributor in Lebanon?

Yes. Nakhoul Solar is the official distributor of GSL Energy lithium batteries in Lebanon. This means 100% genuine products, factory-direct pricing, and full warranty support handled locally by our team.

Which inverter brands do you offer?

We supply leading hybrid, off-grid, and three-phase inverters from Deye, Growatt, Felicity, and other trusted brands. Our engineers recommend the right model based on your load, battery type, and whether you need grid-tie, off-grid, or backup capability.

How long does installation take?

A typical residential solar system is installed in 1 to 3 days. Larger commercial and industrial systems take longer depending on size and site conditions. Our certified team works cleanly, safely, and commissions the system before leaving.

Do you provide maintenance and technical support?

Yes. We offer ongoing technical support via WhatsApp and phone, plus scheduled maintenance visits — panel cleaning, battery health checks, and inverter diagnostics — to keep your system performing at peak efficiency.

Can I upgrade my existing solar system later?

Absolutely. Most modern systems are modular, so you can add more panels, expand battery storage, or upgrade the inverter as your energy needs grow. We design systems with future expansion in mind.

Do you offer free consultations and site assessments?

Yes. We provide a free, no-obligation consultation to understand your energy usage, evaluate your site, and design a custom solar solution. Contact us via WhatsApp at +961 70 707 016 to get started.
