A New Era of Solar Power in Karabakh: 2.1 MW System Installed in Shukurbayli Village

A New Era Begins with Solar Energy in Karabakh

One of the most significant milestones in Azerbaijan's renewable energy sector has been successfully completed in the Shukurbayli village of Jabrayil district. We have installed a massive 2.1 megawatt On-Grid solar energy system, marking a pivotal moment for the region. Within the scope of this project, 635 individual houses and administrative buildings have been equipped with custom solar panel systems.

In this article, we delve into the details behind this technological achievement, the equipment used, our technical design philosophy, and the social impact of bringing green energy to the liberated territories.

Technical Details: How Was the System Built?

We prioritized efficiency and scalability for the Shukurbayli project. Here is the technical breakdown:

Total Project Capacity: ~2.16 MWp
Number of Houses: 635
System Power per House: 3.4 kW (6 units of 585V Longi Half-Cut solar panels)
System Type: On-Grid (Grid-tied, battery-free integration)

Note: On-grid solar systems are smart energy solutions that allow for the direct use of generated power during the day, while automatically feeding excess energy back into the national grid.

Equipment Spotlight: Longi Half-Cut 585V Panels

For this project, we selected Longi 585V Half-Cut panels, renowned for their high efficiency and durability in extreme climate conditions. These panels are the ideal choice for the Karabakh region due to the following advantages:

High Efficiency: An energy conversion rate of over 21%.
Half-Cut Cell Technology: Reduces thermal load and minimizes energy loss.
Durability: High resistance to dust and shading, ensuring consistent performance in rural environments.

Why a 3.4 kW System for Each Home?

The distinct feature of this system designed by Helind Energy is the application of a standardized, yet powerful model for every household. A 3.4 kW system fully meets the daily energy needs of a family living in a rural setting.

Appliances: It comfortably powers refrigerators, televisions, lighting, kettles, internet modems, and other essential devices.
Grid Backup: In the evenings, energy is automatically supplied from the central grid, ensuring uninterrupted power.

Warranty and Longevity: 30 Years of Sustainable Power

The Longi 585V solar panels installed in Shukurbayli are designed to meet energy needs not just for today, but for the next 30 years.

These panels come with a 30-year performance warranty. Technically, it is guaranteed that they will maintain at least 80% of their energy output power throughout this period. This means the system is engineered to operate continuously for approximately 10,000 days from day one.

What does a long-life energy system mean?

The structural mechanics of each panel are tested against UV light, dust, and temperature fluctuations.
The annual power degradation rate is a maximum of 0.5% while the system is stable.
This ensures that even after 30 years, the system will continue to provide a functional energy supply.

With this project, Helind Energy ensures not just current power, but decades of energy stability.

Social and Regional Importance

The Shukurbayli project is more than just an energy initiative—it is the infrastructural backbone of the region's revival.

Sustainable Energy: Reliable power for repatriated families returning to their homeland.
Energy Independence: A transition to self-sufficiency for villages far from central power lines.
Eco-Friendly: A clean, long-lasting energy solution that protects the environment.

Projects like this exemplify the reconstruction of civilized life in Karabakh through renewable energy.

Silent and Reliable Energy Systems

This project by Helind Energy proves that the best energy system is one that you don't even notice is there. Technically simple, yet possessing a massive social and reputational impact, this project stands as a live example of Azerbaijan's energy transformation.
