As of April 2019 ten 1 MW strong solar stations are installed. Solar and wind stations account for less than 1% of total installed electricity generation capacities. In April 2019 it was announced that German company Das Enteria Solarkraftwerk will build a 2 MW strong solar station near Shorzha at lake Sevan by end of 2020. Currently 9 solar PV plants (total installed capacity – about 7,02 MW) have been put
The total indicates around 615 MW of solar were added in 2025, when considering the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) reported Armenia''s cumulative solar capacity at
In recent years, the field of solar energy in Armenia has developed rapidly, solar power plants with a total installed capacity of 1,045 megawatts are already connected to Armenia''s power
