Southeast Asia as a Photovoltaic Powerhouse: Trends and
From a geographical layout perspective, Vietnam occupies a leading position in Southeast Asia''s photovoltaic industry, with module capacity reaching 54.8GW, cell capacity at
Photovoltaic installations captured the entire Southeast Asia solar energy market in 2024, making concentrated solar power commercially unviable due to direct normal irradiance seldom exceeding 1,500 kWh per m².
The Renewable Energy Status Report (Asia and Pacific) shows that solar power capacity has more than tripled in the region in recent years. Figure 1: Installed Renewable Energy capacity in APAC.

Solar energy will lead this growth, whose regional capacity will nearly double from about 215 GW to 382 GW in the same period. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, energy transition was already on the rise in Asian countries.
The Asia-Pacific region is leading the charge in the global shift towards renewable energy, with solar power playing a pivotal role in this transformation. Boasting some of the largest and most innovative solar energy projects in the world, this region is setting benchmarks for sustainable energy development.
