VTV.vn - A conference to assess the potential for developing solar power that will be connected to the national grid by 2020, with a vision to 2030, kicked off today in Hanoi.

The conference focuses on how to maximise the use of solar power in Vietnam, as Vietnam has from 1700 to 2500 hours of sunlight per year, a significant number compared to the global average. It also has solar irradiance of about 5 kilowatt hour per square kilometre per day.

At the event, participants also voiced their opinions on attracting private investment in solar power, and contributed to the policies to develop solar power in Vietnam, related to infrastructure and electricity price.
