Why Vietnam's Solar Energy Market Is Heating Up
Vietnam has become a hotspot for solar energy investments, driven by rising electricity demand and government incentives. The country's solar PV panel prices have dropped by 18% since 2022, making rooftop installations increasingly affordable for households and factories alike. Let's explore what's shaping this dynamic market.
Key Factors Influencing Solar Panel Prices
- Import tariffs: 5% duty on Chinese panels vs. 0% for ASEAN suppliers
- Local production: 12 Vietnamese factories now manufacture solar components
- Grid connectivity: EVN's new feed-in tariff policy (effective March 2024)
"Vietnam's solar capacity grew 200% in 2023 – the fastest pace in Southeast Asia." – Vietnam Energy Report 2024
2024 Price Breakdown: What to Expect
Here's a quick comparison of current solar PV panel prices in Vietnam:
Panel Type | Price/Watt (USD) | Common Applications |
