SCIENTIST: SAMSUNG INTERESTED IN ARMENIA-PRODUCED SOLAR PANELS
June 06, 2014 | 13:32
YEREVAN. - World famous Samsung company is showing interest in
Armenia-produced solar panels for new washing machines, Armenian
researcher said.
Vahan Hamazaspyan, the author of Armenia's geliofication program, said
the talks with the company continue. Meanwhile, on July 22 a group
of researchers plan to open a pilot solar station not far from Yerevan.
"The new power plant should be built as soon as possible for the
national interests. If we use the entire solar potential, it is
sufficient for several nuclear power plants," Hamazaspyan said.
He claims the cost of solar energy taking into account new
technologies may reach 0.3 dram kilowatt hour, which will lead to
boosting competition, industry and agriculture. In particular, 10 -
25 percent of the cost of production of dried fruit - or about $1
per kilo - is spent on electricity and gas.
"A solar station requires only one-time costs. I think it is very
important for our farmers," he said.
