Solar power systems on the roof of houses in Vietnam can help households reduce 50 percent of their bills for monthly power consumption, contributing to protecting the environment, affirmed experts at a conference in Hanoi on August 22 to review one year of implementing documents on developing solar power in Vietnam.

Vietnam plans to more than triple the amount of electricity it produces from renewable sources and push for a 26 percent increase in household solar energy usage by 2030, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc told Reuters in an interview.

Vietnam is considered the second biggest potential market in Southeast Asia for solar power.

Rent-A-Port Green Energy has inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop wind and solar driven micro desalination facilities, in a bid to solve the problems of salt water harming rice fields in the Mekong Delta region.
