JAKARTA, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Solar energy as one of the renewable alternative energies is still expensive to be adopted for buildings, a lighting expert said here on Wednesday.
"The alternative is not yet affordable so there are only few buildings using the energy," said Kaoru Mende, an international lightning expert who is the founder of Lightning Planners Associates Inc. whose works are widely adopted at various offices and shopping centers around the globe, including the National Library of Singapore.
"Just wait for its development so we could have cheap solar energy," he said.
Rob Fletcher, the President Director of Philips Indonesia, said that when balance between cost and benefit matches, the technology could be widely adopted soon.
"Technology evolves and creates innovations to produce efficiency. It will never stops," he said.
Philips Indonesia on Wednesday held an international lighting seminar in the capital city of Jakarta to deliver knowledge about trend and lighting concept for office and shopping mall buildings.
The seminar was attended by government officials, professionals like architects, lighting designers, interior designers, property management consultants, building managers and retail companies.
