Solar Panels for Nomad Communities in Iran

South Khorasan Regional Electricity Company has installed 30 solar panels for 80 nomadic families in underprivileged areas over the last 10 months, managing director of the provincial Nomadic Affairs Organization said.
"Promoting and expanding renewable energy by supplying nomads with cheap and light photovoltaic panels is on the Energy Ministry agenda," Hossein Hosseinpour was quoted as saying by IRNA. 
The panels and installation work cost $17,000 in several regions including Nehbandan city on the southern tip of the province. Another 370 households will be provided with the panels by March in the border areas.
