Armenia Solar 1000W

Armenia has significant solar energy potential: average annual solar energy flow per square metre of horizontal surface is 1 720 kWh (the European average is 1 000 kWh), and one-quarter of the country's territory is endowed with solar energy resources of 1 850 kWh/m 2 per year. Solar thermal energy is therefore developing rapidly in Armenia.

THIS IS NOT FUTURE... THIS IS NOW! Solar photovoltaic installation company SOLARA has adopted a strategy to carry out activities in the field of the green economy in Armenia and promote its development. Why Choose Solara? There is a great potential for solar energy in Armenia.

Renewable energy resources, including hydro, represented 7.1% of Armenia's energy mix in 2020. Almost one-third of the country's electricity generation (30% in 2021) came from renewable sources. Forming the foundation of Armenia's renewable energy system as of 6 January 2022 were 189 small, private HPPs (under 30 MW), mostly constructed since 2007.

The Procedure for Energy Audits is the norm-setting legal act that regulates energy audits in Armenia. This procedure was approved by Government Decree 1399-N of 31 August 2006 and revised by Decree 1105-N of 4 August 2011 and Decree 1026-N of 10 September 2015.

Forming the foundation of Armenia's renewable energy system as of 6 January 2022 were 189 small, private HPPs (under 30 MW), mostly constructed since 2007. Installed capacity is approximately 389 MW for annual generation of 943 GWh, covering 14% of domestic supply.

Various upgrades have been performed since the early 2000s, and one of the seven HPPs (Yerevan HPP) is currently under reconstruction at a cost of USD 40 million. Constructing small HPPs is Armenia's favoured course of action to develop the renewable energy sector and secure energy independence.
