Solar power in Myanmar has the potential to generate 51,973.8 TWh/year, with an average of over 5 sun hours per day. Even though most electricity is produced from hydropower in Myanmar, the country has rich technical solar power potential that is the highest in the ; however, in terms of installed capacity Myanmar lags largely behind Thailand and Vietnam.
Myanmar's solar power potential is estimated to total around 35 gigawatts-peak (GWp). “So far, less than 1% has been installed so there is huge solar potential,” they highlighted. Very good solar potential exists in the central lowlands of Myanmar, where demand is the highest, they added.
For the off-grid area, Myanmar has mainly emphasis on solar home system and mini-grid system to be sustainable, affordable and environmental friendly. This paper aims to describe the high potential of solar energy, current situation of solar energy implementations and the important of Renewable Energy of Myanmar respectively.
“Moreover, solar can help ensure a just energy transition for citizens affected by energy poverty...Furthermore, 75–85% of Myanmar's population of lives within a 25–50-kilometer radius of high voltage power lines, which makes for ideal locations to develop medium- and large-scale solar projects,” they noted.
Among the renewable energy available, the potential of solar energy is one of the great interests in Myanmar. The government of Myanmar has set a plan to electrify the whole county in 2030. On the other hand, ASEAN has a target that is to increase 23% of Renewable Energy in ASEAN generation mix by 2025.
In rural areas, photovoltaics are used for charging batteries and pumping water. 70% of the Burmese population of 50 million live in rural areas. Myanmar's opened its first solar power plant in Minbu, Magway Division, in November 2018.
A continuation of paralysis on investments in solar energy could affect the security and sustainability of the sector in one of the most rapidly growing countries in the region. In this paper, we aimed to identify the barriers preventing solar energy to flourish in Myanmar and to identify policy options to unlock them.

The backsheet is the outermost layer of the PV module and is designed to protect the inner components of the photovoltaic cells, electrical system, and to serve as an electrical insulator.
The inner side layer is in between the protective layer and the cell side layer of the backsheet. It is thicker than other layers and gives backsheet the mechanical stability it needs so that it can protect solar cells from damage, while also providing adhesion for the adhesive layers.
A PV backsheet is a special layer that covers the back of a solar panel. Its primary role is to protect the solar cells and internal components, enhancing the panel's performance and extending its lifespan. Typically, backsheets are made from multiple layers of composite materials, including polymers, fluoropolymers, and polyester.
The p-side is relatively thick and is at the back of the solar cell. Both the p-side and the n-side are coated with a conducting material. The n-side is coated with an anti-reflection coating which allows visible light to pass through it. The main function of this coating is to reflect the IR (heat) radiations and protect the solar cell from heat.
The outer layer of a solar panel that serves as the primary defense for solar module components, particularly the solar cells, is known as a solar backsheet. It works by safeguarding solar panels against different and severe environmental conditions, UV radiation, moisture, dust, etc., throughout their lifespan.
The backsheet layer serves as an effective barrier against water and dust intrusion. Water and dust particles can cause a variety of issues for photovoltaic cells, such as corrosion and pitting.
Photovoltaic backsheets play an important role in protecting solar modules over their lifetime. On the other hand, EVA is an encapsulant for solar Cells/ Modules. It is a copolymer film which acts as an essential sealant of photovoltaic solar modules for ensuring the reliability and performance.
Notably, cadmium telluride, a core material for thin-film solar cells, has also been included in the control scope, potentially exerting a profound impact on First Solar, a leading company in the global cadmium telluride thin-film photovoltaic industry. Supply Chain Challenges and Rising Costs.
China currently produces around eight out of every ten solar panels, and the growth in Chinese exports has global implications for the scale-up of clean power. The data reveals that Europe accounted for 52.5% of the value of China's solar exports in the first half of 2023.
China has at least 80% of the global market share in solar manufacturing capacity, making Chinese exports an important dataset for tracking the clean energy transition. In the first half of 2023, exports of solar panels from China grew by 34%, with 114 GW shipped worldwide, compared to 85 GW in the same period last year.
Transporting PV products accounts for only 3% of total PV emissions. Meeting international energy and climate goals requires the global deployment of solar PV to grow on an unprecedented scale.
Supply chain of PV solar panels is at risks due to trade barriers and shortage of raw material. China controls the supply of materials, manufacturing, installations, and recycling capacity. Recycling high-value materials from end-of-life PV panels is not a practical solution.
However, exports to the US face tariffs. Chinese exports of solar cells to the US dropped 6.7 per cent year on year to only US$3.3 million last year, or 0.1 per cent of the country's solar cell exports, according to data from the chamber.
China has reduced the export tax rebate for solar products, lowering refunded taxes for Chinese PV exporters and eating into their profit margins. The move might force some companies to increase export prices to mitigate potential financial losses.
