At present, solar panels have been sold more than generator, according to electronic stores.
The market has been low at present but there are more buyers for solar panels, said an owner of electronic store.
“It has been a couple of months that the market has been low. We normally sell about K30-K40 million a day, sometimes about K20million. Now the sale has just K8-K10milion recently. There is no sale of generator but solar panels,” he said.
People who can afford more buy solar panels that can run air-conditioners and including battery that is used with solar panels, other devices have been in high demand in the market, said another electronic store owner.
“At our shop, battery has been also in high demand. Buyers are from Yangon as well as from other regions and states. At my shop, the sale of solar panels is larger than the generator sale. Buyers bought small-sized panels previously, but now there are customers for big-sized panels. My shop is oriented towards non-Yangon market. Because most of buyers are from other regions and states, he said.
