Pra-Kru Wimolpanyakhun may have been slightly disheartened to see the ideal policies encouraging the adoption of solar power in Australia absent across much of Southeast Asia, but he was also encouraged to see just how well solar energy can work and how quickly it can spread under ideal conditions.
Policy will inevitably catch up across the rest of Asia, mainly because of the work of people like Pra-Kru Wimolpanyakhun, his network, and networks like his, who are raising awareness, sharpening the technical skills of local communities, and proving that even in less than ideal conditions, solar power can still work, even flourish.
