1- The Hashemite University's (HU) Grid-Connected Project with 4,016 kWp Solar Farm: The project provides 7.23 GWh of electricity annually, covering about 81.2 % of the power needs of the campus. Assuming the current electricity tariff is fixed over the next 20 years (US$0.376/kWh), the project has a payback period of 2 years and 4 months, with an internal interest rate (IRR) of 40.8%. The 20-year net present value (NPV) of the project is JD14.74 million (US$20.82m) after inflation, system depreciation, and operation and maintenance are accounted for. The project reduces the campus carbon footprint, by reducing its annual CO2 emissions by more than 3,615 metric tons, and reducing the need to import, transfer, refine, and burn oil by more than 20,510 barrels of oil, annually.
2- The Hashemite University's (HU) Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Grid-Connected Project with 1,018 kWp Implemented as Pedestrian Walkways and Carparks Project: The project provides 1.68 GWh of electricity annually, covering about 18.8 % of the power needs of the campus. This is the equivalent of completely powering 328 homes, each requiring 426 kWh monthly. This has resulted in covering 18.8% of HU campus total electrical needs. This project aims to help the university to achieve 100% energy independence for the university with the 4 MWp PV farm which covered 81.2% of the university electricity bill. All project components were exposed, with all safety precautions taken into account. The objective was to allow campus users and visitors to appreciate the ease and safety of this technology implementation, transferability, and appreciate the positive impact it will have on the environment. The project already commissioned and has been in continuous operation for more than three years. There were no interruptions of operations for the project since its on-grid connection
