Like every passing year better cars are introduced with more features, solar modules will get cheaper as production volumes increase as is the case with the lowering prices of flat screens, according to Mr Edwin Koot, Chief Executive Officer of Solarplaza, the Netherlands-based company.

This is crucial for the sector's growth of the sector in making projects financially viable.
He maintains that investment costs continue to be major issue as developers require at least 15-20 years loan options with attractive interest rates.
