In Google maps you can use satellite mode to look at their roofs. There are some panels but nothing like this.

edit: satellite mode is out of date, see further conversation below.

    Google Earth has data up through June 27, 2024. Check around the Salloum Hospital and Syrian Arab Red Cross Hospital. That area around the hospitals and to the NNE looks like nearly every roof has panels. Could also be a more recent picture and more panels may have been installed in the past year or two.

    My Google Maps says 2026 on the bottom of it.

    I've highlighted the solar panels I could see, around Salloum Hospital:

    It's great to see so many but it's way more scattered and patchy than in the OP photo.
