At the working session, participants pointed out a number of difficulties hindering the installation of roof-top solar power system and reasons behind the situation, as well as measures to promote the installation of the system in houses and buildings, especially in areas with high risk of power shortage like the northern and central regions.
Concluding the session, Deputy PM Ha said that as matters related to solar and renewable energy have yet to be included in legal documents, it is necessary to design flexible policies in piloting the scheme.
