This presentation highlighted Asia's lead in the global deployment of solar PVs and the shrinking costs to set up utility-scale solar farms. It also outlined possible next steps in unleashing solar power.

This presentation gave an overview of ADB's Preparing Outer Islands for Sustainable Energy Development, which will help the Maldives tap solar power and reduce reliance on costly, polluting diesel oil. The project will install solar-diesel hybrid grids on outer islands and the greater Male region. Skills development support will also be given to the Ministry of Environment and Energy and the main power utilities State Electricity Company and FENAKA Corporation Ltd. for the hybrid rollouts.

This presentation gave an overview of the Greater Male’ Environmental Improvement and Waste Management Project, which will establish an integrated, sustainable solid waste management system in the Greater Male’ capital region and its inhabited outer islands by (i) establishing a modern waste collection, transfer, and treatment using waste-to-energy (WTE)/incineration, disposal, recycling, and dumpsite closure and remediation​; (ii) improving community-based outer island waste management systems; (iii) strengthening institutional capacities for solid waste services delivery and environmental

This presentation introduced thin-film solar power and its application across Hanergy's products. It also discussed the benefits of thin-film solar technology.

This presentation discussed the development of solar PV manufacturing in the People's Republic of China as well as an assessment of the PRC's industry policy for solar PV manufacturing. It also considered the potential of developing solar PVs in developing countries, as well as the potential for the relocation of the PRC's solar manufacturing capacity.

This presentation gave an overview of Asia's global solar PV market share in 2018, as well as trends in solar farm costs and lithium-ion battery prices. It also suggested some next steps in unleashing solar energy such as the introduction of smart grids as new business models and promoting higher productivity through the development of innovation and certification standards.

This presentation discussed renewable energy policies and incentives in the ASEAN, zeroing in on Feed-in-Tariff in the region. It also discussed key points for FiT implementation, and the benefits of doing a subsidy reform.

This presentation gave an overview of fossil fuel subsidy in India's power sector, and why such a subsidy was necessary to provide the mass population access to affordable electricity. It also discussed the financial, regulatory, and technical barriers in increasing renewable energy share in India, and why energy grid balancing will be a critical factor.

The Access to Clean Cooking Energy and Electricity - Survey of States is a survey carried out in 2015 covering more than 9000 rural households in the six most energy-poor states in India: Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal. This presentation discussed some insights from the survey concerning the progress of household electrification, the reliability of electricity supply, and opportunities for a subsidy swap from kerosene to solar.
