Thailand pursues energy independence by solar
Countries across Asia seek to replicate Thailand’s solar energy industry model, helping to strengthen domestic economy.
Published On 21 Apr 2014
Thailand, known for its plentiful sunshine, has spent years developing its solar energy industry.

The sector has become so successful that countries across Asia are now looking to replicate it.
