HCM CITY — The potential for solar energy in Việt Nam is huge but needs appropriate policies to encourage investment, a conference heard in HCM City on Monday. The Vietnamese Government has recognized this potential and aims to significantly increase renewable energy production including solar power. The solar PV market in Việt Nam is at an early stage, Lioret said, adding that 6-7 MWp has been installed in the country. Since there is no suitable policy framework for solar PV investments in Việt Nam, the main business model now is self-consumption, delegates said. He also presented a recent assessment of investment opportunities in Việt Nam with six detailed solar PV rooftop case studies.
