Iran Needs to Capture Solar Power

Solar energy generates electricity for household consumption at lower prices, significantly reduces toxic gases and helps farmers with their excess products, says Davoud Fadaei, a member of the Iran Renewable Energy Association.
Speaking about the need and potential of green energy, in particular solar energy, in the country, he said photovoltaic panels supply electricity for households that cost 40% less compared to traditional power plants, ISNA quoted him as saying.
Fadaei, who also teaches at the prestigious Amirkabir University of Technology, pointed to solar water heaters as another visible advantage of solar energy.
“It is indeed regrettable that effective measures have not been taken to promote the use of solar water heaters.
