What makes Thailand to one of the best locations for a solar power project - except its sun?
• Thailand was one of the first Asian countries with a comprehensive feed-in

tariff, or adder, program. The program has been in place for six years and gone through successive phases of adjustment, in particular in response to higher-than expected response by industry in the form of applications submitted for interconnection. As of December 2011, Thailand had about
8,000 megawatts of renewable energy projects in the pipeline seeking adder and about 1,000 megawatts already connected and selling power to the grid.
• Compared with other Southeast Asian countries, Thailand has the highest electricity demand, with plans for increasing imports from neighboring countries such as Laos, Myanmar, and China. The electricity consumption in
2010 was 150 billion kWh. Over the past ten years, electricity demand has been growing at about 3.2% per year. The current installed capacity is
32,000 MW, with the majority of energy sources from natural gas

    The local council of Greenville recently made a proposal for all houses and businesses to install solar hot-water systems by 2010. Houses and businesses that who have not installed solar hot-water systems by then would be charged a “greenhouse levy”. However some residents have expressed anger over the proposal. “Solar Sellout” published in a local newspaper, an opinion piece and its accompanying cartoon written Bob Walsh, contends that the proposal which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is not appropriate for the small suburb of Greenville. Walsh uses a sarcastic and angry tone which is quite personal, and aims to clearly outline why the proposal by the government is a bad idea.…

    Coal is dirty, oil and natural gas are limited, nuclear energy is dangerous, and then there is solar energy: clean, abundant and safe. It is already used around the Earth to give energy to those huge satellites into orbit but also in the surface of the Earth to provide electricity to many houses or other structures in need of energy. Indeed solar energy may be the most important renewable source of energy for the moment. However installations allowing using the solar energy such as solar panels are still very expensive and space consuming. Moreover to benefit from this source of energy we need some conditions such as a location with a sunny weather. But in Southern Nevada, most of the time there is a sunny weather which makes this region the perfect location for solar energy. Also studies have shown that solar energy, with minor damages to the environment, has a higher output and economically it can be more advantageous than other renewable source of energy in this region. So solar energy seems to be a good solution for Southern Nevada and more investment on solar energy in this region should be a good idea.…

    The solar industry poses many lucrative opportunities for companies with a long term horizon. The potential return on investment, if given the economies of scale required , could be lucrative and virtually unlimited. The current social trend in Japan and other developed economies of moving away from nuclear energy, combined with a realization that pollutants generated by more traditional fossil fuel energy sources has a long term detrimental effect on society, make the search for alternative energy sources a must. Potentially harnessing the sun’s energy through photovoltaic technology, despite it still being in its infant stages, presents us with a potentially unlimited energy source and a potential lucrative long term investment opportunity.…
