Developing Southeast Asia Solar Resource Data to Support
This data set enables a wide range of research in photovoltaic (PV) energy and concentrating solar power (CSP) to assess system performance, estimate plant costs, and inform planning
Moreover, it is forecasted that the Southeast Asia region is going to install another 27 GW of PV capacity between 2021 and 2025 . The development and government support toward PV system installation has been summarized the Table 1 below. Fig. 2. ASEAN market cumulative PV system installation in 2022 . Table 1.
Countries in Southeast Asia have been experiencing rapid economic and demographic growth over the last few decades, which has led to soaring energy needs. Unfortunately, fossil fuels account for more than half of the region's energy supply 3. Southeast Asian countries have committed to target a 23% increase in renewable energy by 2025 4.
Figure 8 A shows the distribution of solar, wind, and hydropower plants in Southeast Asia and their generating capacity. There are 246 solar power plants, 7 wind power plants, and 214 hydropower plants that were compared using the root mean square error (RMSE) and R 2.
9. Conclusion Economic and population growth in Southeast Asia has led to higher energy demand. With the limited source of fossil fuel, shifting into renewable energy is highly considered. It will provide clean, affordable, and long-term energy generation.
