...FACTORS AFFECTING DEMAND

Growing power consumption in Asia, increasing dependence on fossil fuel with growing oil consumption and increasing oil imports that indicate dependence on foreign oil reserves for power generation are the major factors that guide Asia Pacific region in developing renewable energy sources to attain self sufficiency and sustainability in power generation. Development of renewable energy would also aid in decreasing emissions from fossil fuel combustion that cause global warming. For instance China is the largest consumer of coal which is a major source of pollution. China is developing solar power generation capacity to replace fossil fuels. India, a major solar energy market in Asia is exploiting its natural resources for generation of renewable energy, and to this end the country has also invited foreign investment and import of renewable energy technology...

...REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Major solar energy markets in Asia include Japan, China, India and Australia. In Asia Japan occupies top position in solar power generation. At the global level Japan is positioned second behind Germany. China dominates the global solar thermal market with 60% share in installed capacity. At the global level China and Germany dominated in terms of investment made in renewable energy. Solar energy produced in India is very less compared to the vast potential in the region...
