The director of the technology transfer agency, Yolbars Mansurov said that several such projects had already been implemented in the republic.

"Among them is the provision of "solar" electricity for a rural medical facility in the Sarogoch settlement, a farm and a school in Payaryq District of Samarqand Region [central Uzbekistan]," Mansurov noted.

Many Uzbek farmers are reportedly interested in solar batteries.
