Iran’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization says it is looking to shift part of its focus towards small-scale power plants, including installations with hybrid inverters and batteries.
Iran is working towards deploying 15 GW of small-scale solar power plants.
According to reports published by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Iran’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (SATBA) has submitted a proposal to the government for a program that would aim to deploy 15 GW of small-scale plants at speed across the domestic, commercial and agricultural solar sectors.
CEO of SATBA, Mohsen Tarztalab, told the news agency that both domestic manufacturing and importing of equipment must be pursued to enable the rapid installation of small solar systems. He also said that a proposal to increase the financial resources available for home solar installations has been submitted to the government.
Tarztalab indicated the move towards prioritizing smaller-scale solar systems will include offering packages with hybrid inverters and batteries.
