Abstract: Present energy situation of the world is unsustainable due to unequal geographical distribution of natural wealth as well as environmental, geopolitical and economical concerns. Ever increasing drift of energy consumption due to growth of population and transportation has motivated researchers to carry out research on solar energy as an alternative source of primary energy supply. The International Energy Agency estimates that solar energy could make up as much as a quarter of the world’s total electricity production by 2050. With an estimated 900 million people in Asia still lacking access to electricity, most beyond the reach of grid development and centralized generation, localized solar plants are a viable solution. This paper presents a complete overview on the solar energy situation of SAARC countries including present status and future policies and targets. A detailed research on solar energy status and prospects of SAARC countries was done during the period September-December, 2016.

Abstract: It is of great significance for easing China's energy security and reduce environmental pollution to promoting the optimization of rural energy consumption structure and renewable energy use. Using the relative data of the survey, this study applies the Tobit regression model to analyze the impact of migrant workers’ migrant workers on rural household energy consumption, the results show that the increase of migrant workers’ income has significantly promoted rural household energy consumption of liquefied gas and electricity consumption and reduce the consumption of biomass energy. In addition, the basic characteristics of the family, the family economic characteristics, consumer preferences and regional factors are important factors that effect on rural household energy consumption.
