Renewable energy in Asia

Renewable energy is a viable means of generating energy in Asia.For solar power, South Asia has the ideal combination of both high solar insolation and a high density of potential customers.Cheap solar can bring electricity to a major chunk of subcontinent's people who still live off-grid, bypassing the need of installation of expensive grid lines. Also since the costs of energy consumed for temperature control squarely influences a regions energy intensity, and with cooling load requirements roughly in phase with the sun's intensity, cooling from intense solar radiation could make perfect energy-economic sense in the subcontinent. However, a thriving market for solar technology may only develop when it becomes competitively cheaper.
