Myanmar Rooftop Off-Grid Solar Market Assessment

This report assesses Myanmar’s rooftop off-grid solar market across the commercial and industrial (C&I), off-grid retail, and community institution segments, examining demand and supply dynamics, financing constraints, delivery models, and market opportunities. It highlights solar energy’s growing economic viability amid rising electricity tariffs, unreliable grid supply, and increasing diesel costs. The report identifies limited access to financing, weak quality assurance systems, and operational challenges as key barriers to market growth. It recommends a results-based financing and Energy-as-a-Service approach, adapted from ESMAP’s 5P model, to expand sustainable solar electrification for community facilities, particularly rural health centers serving vulnerable populations.
