    solar energy

    Thailand’s energy minister ceremonially broke ground Thursday on what will become the largest solar farm in Southeast Asia.

    The outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand, will be home to a 44-megawatt solar farm to be completed by the end of 2011. The plant dovetails with the country’s aim to get 20 percent of its energy from renewable resources by 2022.

    Suntech Power, which bills itself as the world’s largest producer of crystalline silicon solar panels, has signed a deal to provide 34.5-megawatts worth of solar panels for the first phase of the Bangkok solar project.

    When complete, the solar farm will be owned and operated by Thai oil company Bangchak Petroleum in conjunction with Solartron.

    Solartron is a turnkey solar solutions company that offers design, installation, and maintenance services for solar projects.

    The deal affirms a recent United Nations report that sees Asia leading the way in green tech investment. The deal also speaks to the trend of solar companies offering turnkey solar solutions.

    The project also illustrates how oil companies are seeking to branch out into renewable energy resources.

    Bangchak Petroleum, which is primarily an oil refiner, announced this week it plans to invest about 23 billion baht ($716 million) over the next five years in alternative energy projects as a way of expanding its green tech portfolio.

    Countries all over the world are realising the benefits of solar power.  Oil companies have taken a keen interest in renewable energy sources such as solar energy.  One can only hope that these oil companies do not monopolize the renewable energy sector and thus control when and how much alternative energy is produced (after all, their main interests lie in the fossil fuel industries).  Solar panels and particularly solar water heating  systems (solar geysers) are taking off in South Africa.  Beware of low quality products offered by unscrupulous dealers.  Water Rhapsody and Yes Solar offer impartial advice and supply a wide range of water conservation systems (including JoJo water tanks) and solar water heating products.  Contact us to discuss your sustainable living requirements; let us help you obtain free water and free electricity!  We provide information and quotes free of charge.
