ABSTRACT
This chapter presents various solar energy applications that can lead to a safe and peaceful world. It describes how solar power could assist in the social and economic development of developing and aims to develop countries using various applications at different power levels. Solar energy coupled with wind energy became a popular combination for various applications in other strategic applications in remote areas. The local solar energy companies are currently creating new jobs for young people and install about 2,000 solar home systems per month. Businesses based on solar energy are now rapidly gaining popularity in many developing countries. The pilot project was a good learning experience for solar energy applications in Sri Lanka. The new Sri Lankan government also recognised the potential of solar energy in Sri Lanka and initiated the ‘Battle for solar energy’ programme in 2016. Hotels, hospitals, schools, temples and care homes are ideal buildings to start these installations.
