Commercially competitive prices for solar Photovoltaic (PV) projects have sparked a jump in the share of this renewable energy source in power sectors worldwide. Asian countries, especially China, India, Thailand and Japan have made considerable progress in expanding the role of renewables in their energy supply systems with solar PV projects accounting for a significant percentage of the growth in non-hydro renewable projects

At the end of the programme, participants will:

• Better manage the financial aspects of a solar project
• Draw comparsions between solar and other power generators
• Equiped with the knowledge of technical challenges in a solar project

Day 1

• PV economics

• Changes in the energy mix of Asian power sectors & increasing role for solar energy

• Overview of government policies and their importance in driving the implementation of solar

• PV power projects

• Differences between Asian countries when implementing PV projects

Day 2

• Overview of project development process for a PV project

• Assessing PV sites, technical performance, net electrical output & costs of PV projects

• Solar PV’s impact on the grid and consequences for policy

• Estimating the LCOE for a hypothetical solar PV project in Asia

• Reviewing key terms for a solar PV Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

• Sample calculations of electricity price adjustments under standard PPA terms

• Seminar wrap-up including final Q&A session

• Power plant developers and equipment suppliers
