TPO – Quang Ninh Province is developing a policy to support residents in installing rooftop solar panels, offering a maximum subsidy of 15 million VND per household, and also proposing preferential loans of up to 100 million VND.
The Department of Industry and Trade of Quang Ninh City is finalizing a draft decision outlining policy measures to support households in installing rooftop solar panels for self-generation and self-consumption, as well as electricity storage systems, for the period 2026–2030.
A notable aspect of the design is the proposal to directly subsidize a portion of the investment costs, with a maximum of 15 million VND per household for the installation of both a solar energy system and a battery storage system.
Specifically, residents would receive a subsidy of 1.5 million VND per kWp of solar panels, up to a maximum of 7.5 million VND. If an additional electricity storage system is installed, the subsidy would be 1.5 million VND per kWh of storage capacity, up to a maximum of 7.5 million VND.
The subsidy will be provided after the system has been fully installed, put into use, and is generating electricity in accordance with applicable regulations. Each household is expected to receive financial support only once for one solar panel system on the roof of one plot.
In addition to direct financial support, Quang Ninh also proposed providing residents with preferential loans through the Social Policy Bank. The maximum loan amount would be 80% of the investment and installation costs after deducting the subsidy, but not exceeding 100 million VND.
The maximum loan term is five years, and the applicable interest rate is equal to the rate for loans to low-income households as set by the prime minister for each period.
According to calculations by the electricity sector, the cost of installing a rooftop solar energy system with battery storage currently ranges between 12 and 15 million VND per kWp. For a typical capacity of 6–8 kWp, a household would need to spend approximately 72 to 120 million VND.
The relatively high initial investment costs are still viewed by many households as one of the barriers. Therefore, it is expected that a combination of direct support and favorable loans will alleviate financial pressure and encourage people to generate their own electricity for daily needs.
In addition to financial support, the draft also defines the responsibilities of the electricity sector and local authorities regarding providing technical guidance, ensuring grid connections, safeguarding infrastructure safety, and preventing and combating fires.
According to the Department of Industry and Trade of Quang Ninh, the agency had received feedback from 33 departments, agencies, and local governments by October 18. The draft document has been compiled, revised, and sent to the Ministry of Justice for review before being submitted to the competent authority for consideration.
Quang Ninh aims to have approximately 74,000 households installing and using rooftop solar panels by 2030, following a model of self-generation and self-consumption. Specifically for 2026, Quang Ninh Power Company plans to develop an additional 55 MWp of rooftop solar energy.
Developing local energy sources not only helps people reduce their dependence on the power grid and save on living costs, but also contributes to alleviating pressure on electricity supply and promoting the transition to green energy.

Pvola take
This policy significantly lowers the entry barrier for residential solar and storage by directly subsidizing a portion of the upfront capital expenditure. The combination of direct grants and preferential loans addresses the high initial cost concern, which is a primary deterrent for household adoption. Developers and installers should prepare for increased demand in Quang Ninh as these financial incentives make self-consumption projects more economically viable for typical households.
