Thailand is one of the largest solar production capacity countries in Southeast Asia, second only to Vietnam. After the United States imposed anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese solar panels, Thailand became a manufacturing hub, especially in the Eastern Economic Corridor, although most of the products are for export.
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.
Positioned near the equator, Southeast Asia's solar irradiance levels was up 10 per cent in 2023, highlighting the region's potential for solar energy advancement. Southeast Asia's total solar and wind energy generation have surged from 4.2 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2015 to over 50 TWh in 2022.
The effectiveness of these systems depends on solar irradiation levels which measure the intensity of sunlight. Positioned near the equator, Southeast Asia's solar irradiance levels was up 10 per cent in 2023, highlighting the region's potential for solar energy advancement.
Despite strong ambitions, PV module manufacturing in Southeast Asian is currently under pressure. Operational capacities have been significantly reduced or temporarily halted, primarily due to U.S. import tariffs. Once a strategic workaround for Chinese manufacturers aiming to access Western markets, Southeast Asia now faces growing constraints.
