Within the  framework of the project, it is planned to install solar photovoltaic  panels on the roofs of 90 buildings of the capital of Armenia, which  will ensure the operation of house elevators, as well as common  areas, including all floors, courtyard lighting. These areas will be  lit by LED lamps.

A favorable geographical location will be the main criteria, two or  more entrances of 9-14-storied buildings, at least two elevators, a  repaired roof, and the presence of at least 10 sq. m. area for each 1  kW of power for photovoltaic systems. Separately, the issue of  increasing the number of floors after improvement activities is  considered. Among the selection priorities is also considered the  issue of ensuring the seismic security of buildings, the accident  rate of which should be at least the second category. For these  purposes, separate examinations are planned. In addition, the  occupancy of buildings should be at least 85%.  To note when  selecting buildings, an important role will be given to the social  component, including the presence of residents from socially  disadvantaged groups of population included in the ''Paros'' program,  as well as the presence of dead soldiers or military personnel with  disabilities. An important component of the criteria is the presence  of condominiums, their consent and the consent of the tenants.
