A decade of solar PV deployment in ASEAN: Policy landscape and recommendations. Energy Reports, 8, 460-469.

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. Also, an attempt was made to provide policy recommendations.

The potential for solar PV at sites with an LCOE of less than US$150/MWh has been estimated to exceed 30 TW (Lee et al., 2019). This is about 130 times ASEAN's total installed generation capacity (234 GW) as of 2017 (ASEAN Centre for Energy, 2020).

Muniff concluded, “Solar energy has proven to be an ideal solution for Malaysia, given its equatorial climate and high levels of solar insolation. By integrating solar power into telecommunications infrastructure, we are reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources, lowering operational costs, and significantly decreasing emissions.
