February, 2020 – LG Levant hosted a Solar technical seminar at the Hilton Hotel in Beirut, whereby it invited Mr. Phil Lee, Senior Manager at LG Solar Asia, Middle East & Africa. Mr. Lee, who has over 30 years of experience at LG, discussed the solar energy industry as well as LG Solar solutions for the region, while detailing LG Solar benefits for businesses & households. The objectives of the seminar were to provide information to LG business partners in Lebanon and tackle their questions surrounding solar energy systems.
Awareness on sustainable energy and living has been increasing globally, with the demand for solar systems rising year-on-year, with an expected growth of 20% in 2020. Indeed, solar panels do not create waste or emissions, and the energy they produce is clean and renewable. According to German-based think tank “Agora Energiewende”, the declining cost of solar will make it the cheapest source of electricity in just 10 years’ time. As Mr. Phil Lee clearly stated: “Solar systems have sustainable benefits for both customers and the environment. These benefits are tangible both on short and long terms. Indeed, on the short term, solar energy usage directly reflects on cost saving in electricity bills while on the long term, solar energy will create and improve sustainable environment by reducing C02 emissions, promoting clean and renewable energy, and a better air quality”.
LG Solar is currently one of the leading solar manufacturers, with a diversified and solid portfolio of solar solutions, through which LG provides a state-of-the-art and highly efficient solar panels.
