Proposal: policy support

• FiT for rooftop solar power should be higher than FiT for farm
solar power;
• All activities related to the solar power should be included in the
list of prioritized sectors, from solar farm, equipment
manufacturing to wholesale and retail;
• Develop Green standard for construction works that have the
rooftop solar power solution;
• Promote PV panel production sector for the local market;
Proposal: Loan package & funding source

The State should issue documents to promote banks to design loan

package for solar power sector
– Large loans: manufacturers
– Medium loans: rooftop solar project of the plants and large
buildings
– Small loans: households
The loan package includes:
– Favorable interest rate
– Grace period until when the system is put into operation
– Preferential equity rate (10-20%)
Funding sources
- EPF
- GG Fund
- Funds for science and technology development
Proposal on tax preference

Tax preference for small and medium power projects (below 1MW)
– Income tax exemption for the first 6 years (payback period)
– VAT refund for equipment and devices for rooftop solar power
projects

Tax preference for manufacturers

– Base on export rate and local content
– Ensure the quality of devices
Proposal to EVN

• EVN should have specific instructions on electricity testing

procedure, interconnection procedure for offices in localities
nation wide;
• Provide capacity building on rooftop solar power;
• Promote communication to households on rooftop solar power
program;
• Pilot the rooftop solar power system on the public buildings such
as office, hospital, school;
• Share data on households with rooftop solar power system nation
wide.
