PanARMENIAN.Net - Industria Technologica Armenian company plans to
export semi-conductor sun batteries to Syria and Tunisia, company
Director Artin Melikyan told a press conference.
According to him, a group of businessmen from these countries expressed
interest in purchase and with this purpose they will visit Yerevan
in September to get familiar with the production on the spot.
Melikyan noted that Industria Technologica has been cooperating
with American and English firms, and after they have offered to
start development on this project, the company obtained patent for
production of sun batteries from a group of Armenian scientists two
years ago. There are serious plans for future industrial production.
"This is one of the first examples in Armenia, and even in the
region, when a company purchases a scientific development," said
Melikyan adding that their sun batteries are already used in Armenia,
particularly in Geghadir village, near Garni. The company Director
withheld financial details, only saying that the cost of one 1kWt
panel amounts to $5000-6000.
In turn, the inventor, Lecturer of the State Engineering University of
Armenia, Ruben Vardanyan, noted that the solar power engineering has
a great future and potential in Armenia. He said that this scientific
direction is developed in Armenia starting from the 50-60th of XX
century. As regards the sun batteries elaborated by him, they are
of two kinds: electrical generator and hybrid generator which gives
hot water as well. Their development has good characteristics and
economically feasible.
