Cost and lack of public awareness discourages PH from solar power use, study says

The article from MSN discusses a study highlighting the barriers to solar power adoption in the Philippines.

Additionally, the complexity of the technology and the absence of a robust support system for maintenance and installation further impede the transition to solar energy in the region.
