    Terminology Dictionary

    kW (Kilowatt)

    Unit of power for appliances or panels (e.g., 2kW heater).

    kWh (Kilowatt-hour)

    Unit of energy consumption or battery capacity (e.g., 5kWh battery).

    DoD (Depth of Discharge)

    Safe discharge percentage. Pylontech reaches 95% while Gel is 50%.

    MPPT

    Maximum Power Point Tracking in inverters to boost panel efficiency by 30%.

    LiFePO4

    Lithium Iron Phosphate. The safest and longest-lasting battery chemistry (used by Pylontech).

    Efficiency Tips

    Panel Angle in Yemen

    Best angle is 15-20 degrees South for rain self-cleaning and year-round sunlight.

    Avoid Shade Completely

    Small shade (leaf) can drop panel output by 50% or stop the whole string.

    Regular Maintenance

    Clean panels with water only every 2 weeks (especially in dust season) to boost output by 15%.

    Frequency Asked Questions

    What is the best home solar system in Yemen?

    For medium home (2-3 rooms): 5kW Inverter + 2 Pylontech batteries (4.8kWh) + 8 panels 450W.

    Can solar run AC?

    Yes. 1-ton AC needs 5kW inverter and 10kWh batteries (4 Pylontech US2000) for night use.

    Difference between Lithium and Gel?

    Lithium (Pylontech) lasts 10 years (6000 cycles), charges in 2 hours. Gel lasts 2 years (500 cycles), needs 8 hours charge.

    Are Pylontech batteries safe?

    Very. Uses LiFePO4 chemistry which is non-explosive and has builtin BMS for heat/overcharge protection.

    Is solar expensive?

    Initial cost may seem high, but pays back in 3 years compared to diesel/grid, then lasts 10-20 years for free.

    Is there installment?

    Yes, through our banking partners (Tadhamon, Kuraimi) with salary or property collateral.

    Where should I start if I am new to solar?

    Start with the introductory guide about solar energy in Yemen, then read the sizing and cost articles to get a clear picture before contacting us for a tailored design.

    Is the Knowledge Hub content specific to Yemen?

    Yes, all guides and articles are written for Yemeni conditions: long outages, dust, high temperatures and coastal climates.
