JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): Demand for rooftop solar panels has increased sharply in recent years as more companies and households turn to solar energy to meet their electricity needs, an executive of a rooftop solar panel leasing and service company has said.

The managing director of rooftop solar panel leasing company PT Xurya Daya Indonesia (Xurya), Eka Himawan, said in Jakarta on Wednesday (Feb 26) that the number of companies that used solar energy had increased sharply because solar energy helped reduce electricity costs by up to 20 per cent.
