Ca Mau Province to Subsidize Household Rooftop Solar and Energy Storage Systems
Ca Mau Province has approved a VND 3 million subsidy per household for eligible self-generated, self-consumed rooftop solar and energy storage systems. The policy takes effect on November 23, 2026, and will be funded by the provincial budget. Systems completed and put into use before that date are ineligible.
The Ca Mau Provincial People’s Council recently passed a resolution granting households VND 3 million each to install rooftop solar power systems for self-generation and self-consumption, together with energy storage systems. The resolution takes effect on November 23, 2026, and will be funded entirely by the provincial budget.
To qualify, households must have the legal right to use the detached home where the system is installed. The rooftop solar system must have a total rated capacity of at least 3 kilowatts peak and include an energy storage system. Investment in, installation and operation of the system must also comply with current laws and regulations. Systems completed and put into use before the resolution takes effect are ineligible for the subsidy.
The subsidy was among seven resolutions passed at the seventh special session of the Ca Mau Provincial People’s Council’s 11th term. The other resolutions concerned public investment, budgets, allocation of charter capital and local support policies. Under an adjustment to the power development plan approved by Vietnam’s prime minister on April 15, 2025, Ca Mau Province is to add 117 megawatts of rooftop solar capacity from 2025 to 2030.
The Ca Mau Provincial People’s Committee said the province averages about 2,200 to 2,700 hours of sunshine a year, with solar radiation exceeding 4.8 kilowatt-hours per square meter per day. Rooftops in industrial zones, factories, offices and homes still offer room for development. Ca Mau Province is in the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam.
