Solar panels are used to generate and supply electricity. In a Solar Feed-in System, solar energy, which is linked to a feed-in grid system, supplies an entire building with electricity and reduces the customer’s energy costs. Morover, surplus electricity generated is fed into the national grid, allowing the owner of the Solar Feed-in System to sell the access electricity to the national utility provider.

Not only does the Solar Feed-in System produce its own energy and feeds in energy surplus into the collective grid, it also improves the effectiveness of the customer’s operations through an optional extensive battery back-up system. Should power cuts occur, the customer will still be able to operate all their electrical appliances.

Additionally, a training centre focusing on grid feed technology has been established in Sunlabob. This will act as a regional training centre for electricians from Laos and other parts of South-East Asia.

In Oct 2010, Sunlabob installed Lao’s first Solar Feed-in System at the German Embassy. Please read the news article for more information.
