Abstract

According to global renewable energy trends, the solar power system’s potential is huge due to the outstanding technology development and the decrease in production costs. In Vietnam, thanks to the government’s aid policies, residential solar rooftops, and other solar PVs are becoming more and more popular. Nevertheless, how do  the current retail electricity tariff in Vietnam affect the development of rooftop solar PV?  This report aims to focus on analyzing the impact of the current retail electricity tariff on the development of rooftop solar PV in Vietnam Besides, shifting the peak load time in the tariff have been considered as new issues compared to the other studies.
