  It is apparent that solar power can be applied to countries all over the world.  We have seen the benefits in this technology from the simple usage of the UV rays to disinfect bottles of water in Kenya to the usage of solar arrays as a power source for water utilities in developed countries such as the United States.  Although these solar panels are initially expensive we can find sufficient economic, individual and environmental benefits.  These can be installed on rooftops or freestanding in any environment and supply reliable energy to the surrounding areas.This is especially helpful in countries such as Thailand and Kenya where the sun is shining nearly every day!  The implementation of solar technology is undoubtedly beneficial to all societies across the world.
