Abstract

Energy is an essential ingredient of socio-economic development and economic growth. Many countries frequently held meetings and discussions has energy agenda. These countries are working to balance energy demand and supply. Renewable energy technology is one of the solutions, which produces energy by transforming natural phenomena into useful energy forms.
