ASEAN''s growing potential in the global solar race
With increasing energy demand across the region, ASEAN countries are looking at solar energy as a viable alternative.
In Malaysia, the introduction of the Net Energy Metering and tax allowances serve as catalysts for solar PV installation, while government-led tariff adjustments further propel the adoption of solar energy. These concerted efforts show how solar energy is set to be a mainstay in ASEAN's energy mix for decades to come.
Many countries in the ASEAN region have adopted this rooftop solar system idea and the demand is continually increasing thanks to its potential long-term benefit in reducing the electricity cost (Fig. 6). Moreover, rooftop solar systems become a timely and resource-efficient way for the countries to meet it's renewable energy goals.
Regardless to the system, optimizing the use of solar rooftops is a great way to generate clean energy thus achieve renewable energy goals. For those reasons, governments across the region (ASEAN) needs to maintain appropriate policy and regulation to boost the installation of rooftop solar systems. 2.3. Floating PV module
