Solar to dominate Asia’s renewable energy future
Recent trends within the PV industry have seen a massive increase in the number of module manufacturers within the Asian region. This will set the scene for the next few years where we can expect to see a move away from small roof-top PV systems to the deployment of large-scale commercial and industrial arrays. Historically, in most countries, such as Australia, the roll-out of PV has been dominated by domestic roof-top installations. For a country that has one of the greater levels of solar insolation, the deployment of solar as an energy source is small by world standards. Currently the largest PV flat-panel array is only 1.22MW located in Brisbane at The University of Queensland (UQ), which was designed primarily for research purposes. Whilst the Government has committed support for two large-scale projects and a number of other larger arrays are planned, most are still relatively small compared to those already established within Europe.
