Abstract
This paper examines the cost-effectiveness of photovoltaic (PV) generator integration into existing Diesel powered mini-grids without battery storage. The case study of a 54kWp PV generator introduction at the Lebanese village of Deir-Kanoun is detailed using load and fuel consumption measurements, the design of a photovoltaic system, a thorough assessment of possible fuel savings and its financial attractiveness. It demonstrates that PV-diesel hybrid systems can be introduced with good financial benefits in the specific Lebanese situation.
