Myanmar's solar market is predominantly led by Chinese companies, including Sandisolar. In 2022, Sandisolar completed 36 solar projects and that number rose to 115 in 2023, with over 200 projects planned for 2024, Thi Thi Soe said. This growth highlights the increasing use of solar energy in the Southeast Asian country, she added.
On the occasion, Secretary of the State Administration Council Lt-Gen Aung Lin Dwe said as Myanmar is rich in renewable energy sources such as hydropower, solar and wind power, it will make full use of the advantages provided by the nature and build solar power plants.
The Hydropower Generation Enterprise (HPGE) and the Myanmar Electric Power Enterprise (MEPE) are the main power-generating companies in Myanmar. The Yangon City Electricity Supply Board (YESB) distributes power to consumers in Yangon, and the Electricity Supply Enterprise (ESE) distributes power to the rest of the country.
(Xinhua/Myo Kyaw Soe) YANGON, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- The adoption of solar energy in Myanmar is on the rise due to increasing oil prices and electricity costs, Thi Thi Soe, deputy general manager of Sandisolar, a Myanmar-based Chinese new energy company, told Xinhua on Friday.
Chaik Sai, 46, expressed his preference to Chinese-made solar panels, noting their popularity in Myanmar. These panels can provide steady power and light, which helps prevent the frequent on-and-off situations that can damage electrical appliances.

The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
