Off-Grid Solar Container Projects in Southeast Asia: Lessons
The market for alternative renewable energy is expanding extensively in Southeast Asia, where hundreds of millions are without reliable electricity. Off-grid solar container
In the ASEAN region total installed capacity of floating PV was below 1 MW till 2019, but large-scale floating PV module installations grew rapidly in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Philippines from year 2020 and onwards.
Although the LCOEs of the designed battery-integrated system were found to be higher than a typical on-grid solar PV system commonly installed over lakes or dams to support a national energy portfolio, an offshore environment essentially requires an energy storage solution.
The main findings of the techno-economic analysis of 530 kWp battery-integrated floating PV for an offshore oil platform are Floating PV configuration has an additional energy yield of 2.3% compared to ground installations.
Global floating PV market has also seen robust and sustainable growth over the last few years. It was estimated that global floating PV reached 1.6 GW in 2021 which was double of the total installed capacity in 2020 . In ASEAN region, the development of floating PV module also has gained much attention.
