Technical Potential for PV GWh/year Vietnam 1km 2003-2012 WBG

Technical potential for solar energy production combines theoretical potential with technical exclusion areas: slope < 3%, no water, roads, railroads, or protected areas, and a minimum area of 1km2 for plan construction. Solar potential was estimated for a flat plate photo voltaic array using a 1 MWe, south-facing, latitude-tilted panel. Estimation is based on the average of a single year of input values. See page 12 of http://www.tcnl.gov.vn/userfile/files/Maps%20of%20Solar%20Resource%20and%20Potential%20in%20Vietnam%20REPORT%20FOR%20PUBLISHING.pdf for more information, and was created by CIEMAT, CENER and IDAE.The map is an un-validated, satellite-derived estimate. As part of phase II of the WBG initiative, these maps will be validated through the use of ground measurement data, and until the data collection period is finished should be considered for policy use, rather than energy prospecting, following IRENA's classification of renewable energy data.
