A view of a solar panel on the roof of Lamayuru Monastery in India's Buddhist-dominated Laddakh region May 2, 2006. Many of the monasteries, or gompas, lining Ladakh's Indus valley, in northwest India near China, boast a small blue rectangle of photo-voltaic technology. Standing 3,500 metres high, they have the advantage of being closer to the sun than many other inhabited places. Picture taken May 2, 2006. To match feature ENERGY-INDIA-SOLAR REUTERS/Neil Chatterjee
