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.
How can China support future solar energy deployment?
To support future solar energy deployment in China, long-term changes in solar energy resources over China were investigated based on high-resolution dynamical downscaling simulations under three emission scenarios.
Are there support mechanisms for solar PV development in ASEAN countries?
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. Different types of support mechanisms for solar PV development. 3.1.
How much solar energy do ASEAN countries receive a year?
ASEAN countries receive abundant solar energy throughout the year. Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI) value varies between kWh/m 2 /year and 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 a slow growth in solar PV?
Over the past decade, slow growth was observed in some ASEAN countries such as Brunei, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar. The variation of installed capacity of Solar PV in ASEAN member states is shown in Table 1. It is interesting to observe the variation in solar PV development in the ASEAN region.
