2MWh Vietnam photovoltaic container used for field research

Can Floating photovoltaic systems help Vietnam transition to a low carbon economy?

Floating Photovoltaic (FPVs) systems provide a unique opportunity for Vietnam to address its growing energy demands and transition to a low carbon economy by utilising only a small portion of water surfaces available for this purpose.

Can FPV technology address Vietnam's energy needs?

The purpose of this research is to show the significant role that FPVs technology can play in addressing Vietnam's energy needs, considering the challenges that this country faces including growing population, economy, electricity demand, land use conflict and commitments to Paris Agreement.

Could Vietnam's water surface be used for floating photovoltaics (FPVS)?

Vietnam's vast water surfaces could be used for deploying floating photovoltaics (FPVs) technology, which is an emerging and innovative approach in generating clean electricity. The country has successfully deployed local power generation through small and mini hydropower before, which has supported agricultural developments in Vietnam.
