At this stage solar is estimated to account only for ~70TWh of energy infrastructure investments up to 2030.
The estimated €6 trillion investment in Asian energy infrastructure will primarily go into fossil fuels based projects

• China:
– Has rolled out two solar programs to date
• a rooftop solar subsidy of 20 RMB/Wp for systems >50kWp
• Golden Sun Program which provides a rebate for systems >300 KW (50% for on grid and 70% for off grid)
– a feed in tariff for solar PV, US$0.20 per kilowatt hour of electricity
• India:
– Launched generation based incentive with the target of 50MW solar power
• Feed‐in tariff for grid connected PV: 12Rs/kWh
• Feed‐in tariff for grid connected solar thermal: 10Rs/kWh
– The new “Solar India” plan aims to have 20,000 MW of PV and solar thermal by 2020
Many countries already recognize the importance of solar energy

Asia could account for 1/3 of the global PV market by 2013, resulting in 6000MW installed capacity
ATRAA 2010Alice Springs, 6 August 2010
A handful of countries with strong policy regimes account for 80% of global installed PV capacity; new countries have emerged as important players in the last few years.

The RE technologies with the potential to make major contribution in the medium term to 2030 are primarily those which have already reached, or are close to, market competitiveness
ATRAA 2010Alice Springs, 6 August 2010
Technical/infrastructure barriers (including grid-related barriers) rank highest in obstacles identified in ASEAN countries, followed by administrative and market-related hurdles.

• The global solar market has significant momentum, and is not tied to the price of oil alone
• However, the market remains policy driven until grid parity is reached– Policy uncertainty can adversely affect investor willingness to
support large-scale installations or new startups• The market is diversifying, thanks to the rapid maturation of solar
technologies– Thin film solar technology expands the market for PV and
accelerates the trend toward grid parity– Concentrating solar technology is rapidly being adopted by
utilities for centralized power generation– Traditional flat-plate PV continues its rapid decline in cost
thanks to an influx of suppliers in Asia

• In most countries market forces alone cannot boost wide utilization of solar technologies
• Supportive policies which provide financial support are key for the market development
• Subsidies on fossil fuels based energy can jeopardize the solar power market
• R&D on grid connection and storage is critical for the wide‐spread solar implementation
• International standards and technological harmonization would allow more effective marketing of solar products
• Improve capacity building should promote solar power applications
REEEP is technology neutral, but sees PV and solar thermal as key energy technologies

• Australia plans to invest $1.6 billion in solar technologies, including new funding of $1.365 billion in a Solar Flagships program (1000MW ) helping position Australia as a world leader in this vital energy technology for the future;
• China launches green power revolution to catch up on west. The plan is to hit 20% renewables target by 2020 with $30bn to be invested in low carbon projects. Solar technology play a key role in this.
• Malaysia will soon implement the feed-in tariff for solar to enable users to sell excess power to the power grid
• India plans 20,000 MW of solar thermal and photovoltaic energy up and running by 2020 and by investing $1bn to become world solar leader.

According to TEC’s General Manager, Mr Mafalu Lotolua, “the development of renewable energy resources to diversify Tuvalu’s energy mix offers some degree of energy security for the country”. Renewable energy resources such as solar, wind and biofuel (mainly derived from coconut oil) provide a good prospect for broadening and diversifying Tuvalu’s energy supply resources.
Renewable Energy is critical for energy security and economic growth, particularly for small islands
