Does ASEAN have a solar PV policy?

A decade of solar PV deployment in ASEAN: Policy landscape and recommendations. Energy Reports, 8, 460-469. In this paper, solar policy and support mechanisms in ASEAN countries are investigated. In general, solar PV development in the past decade has been remarkable.

Are solar PV policies underutilized in South East Asian countries?

South East Asian countries are blessed with abundant solar energy potential. Yet, the solar photovoltaic potential remains underutilized. There are certain roadblocks in the progress of solar PV deployment in ASEAN. This paper aims to investigate the solar PV policies in the ASEAN region over the past decade.

What is solar PV development in ASEAN countries?

Solar PV development in ASEAN ASEAN countries receive abundant solar energy throughout the year. Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI) value varies between 1400 kWh/m 2 /year and 1900 kWh/m 2 /year . Over the past decade, remarkable growth in solar PV installations has been observed in the South East Asia region.

Does South East Asia have a solar PV market?

The South East Asia region is an emerging photovoltaic market at its early-stage growth. ASEAN countries are expected to have substantial growth in solar PV deployment. The PV market in the ASEAN region has not evolved into a solid, self-sustaining PV market. Hence there is a necessity for policies and support mechanisms in ASEAN countries. Fig. 1.

Which ASEAN countries have the highest installed solar PV capacity?

Table 1shows a brief summary of the progress made by all the ASEAN countries in the field of solar PV. As it can be seen here, the country with the highest installed Solar PV capacity is Thailand (690.6 MW), followed by Malaysia (74.7 MW) and Indonesia (42.8 MW).

How can ASEAN reduce the cost of solar PV systems?

Programmes and strategies should be introduced, especially at the household level, to promote and to deploy renewable energy in daily life to expedite the market and cost of solar modules. The ASEAN supply chain of renewable energy equipment and services should be strengthened to reduce the cost of solar PV systems and LCOE.
