    Abstract

    Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is identified to be a vast energy source whose technical, environmental and economic potential far exceeds Indonesia's present and future energy requirements. We estimate that electricity consumption in Indonesia could reach 9000 Terawatt-hours per year by 2050, which is 30 times larger than at present. Indonesia has abundant space to deploy enough solar PV to meet this requirement, including on rooftops, on inland reservoirs, on the Indonesian inland sea, on mining wasteland and in combination with agriculture.
