Solar Power for Nomads in South Khorasan

South Khorasan governor says 10,000 solar panels will be distributed among nomads in the province.
“South Khorasan nomads are a productive and influential community in the provincial economy. We have to increase services and address shortages,” ISNA quoted Mohammad Sadeq Motamedian as saying.
Promoting and expanding renewable energy by supplying nomads with cheap and light photovoltaic panels is on the Energy Ministry agenda.
Installing each panel in tents costs $500, of which $425 is paid by the Energy Ministry.
The panels generate enough power to help households  meet their needs like watching TV, charging emergency lights and cell phones in the middle of a plain or a desert.
