Cambodian Island Koh Rong Sanloem Converts to Solar Power

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Clip showing the recycling of solar panels in France, from 2018. Hopefully such systems will become more common around the world in the coming years.

As a localized energy source it’s a great idea but one big issue (especially here) is maintenance
Compared with a diesel generator for example?

Well yes, that’s why I said “obviously a diesel genny is noisy and inefficient”.

What’s your question?
Don’t listen to Chinese whispers.
