Floating solar PV capacity is expected to play a key role in fulfilling Southeast Asia’s overall solar expansion, with countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand well positioned to use their unique geographies to support the technology.
This is the according to a new analysis from energy research firm, Rystad Energy, which predicts that Southeast Asia will account for 10% of the broader Asia region’s total solar capacity by 2030, including ground-mounted, rooftop, and floating.
