Why Invest in Cambodia’s Solar Sector?
Cambodia’s Power Development Plan (PDP 2022–2040) targets over 3,000MW of solar capacity. The government offers strong support through:
- Direct PPA negotiations with EDC
- Fast-track approvals for Qualified Investment Projects (QIP)
- Up to 9 years of tax holidays
- 0% import duties on equipment
- Withholding tax exemptions
- VAT deferral and accelerated depreciation
These incentives significantly improve project cash flow and investor IRR. Learn more from Adaeng Development’s solar investment guide.
🌞 Site Advantage & Solar Yield
The project site receives high solar irradiance:
Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI): ~5.4 kWh/m²/day
Global Tilted Irradiation (GTI): ~5.5 kWh/m²/day
Air Temperature: ~27.8°C
Terrain Elevation: 16m
This ensures strong energy yield and efficient grid integration.
Platform Potential & Replicability
ADAENG DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. offers a pipeline of similar projects across Cambodia. Provinces like Kampong Speu are opening up for solar, especially near industrial zones. The project also aligns with ASEAN Power Grid initiatives, offering future cross-border sale potential.

❤️ Giving Back: 10% of Profits to the Sao Sary Foundation
I believe business should also uplift communities. That’s why 10% of net profits from this solar investment initiative will go to the Sao Sary Foundation (SSF), a nonprofit that helps vulnerable children and families in Cambodia.
Founded in 2006, SSF has improved the lives of over 88,113 young people through programs focused on:
- Education: Helping kids stay in school through scholarships, supplies, and small-scale schools
- Healthcare: Improving access to clean water, medical care, and rural clinics
- Jobs: Training youth and supporting small businesses to create sustainable income
- Protection: Preventing child trafficking, abuse, and exploitation through early intervention
- Community Development: Building stronger, safer villages with long-term support
SSF works primarily in Kampong Speu Province, one of Cambodia’s most underserved regions, and takes a proactive approach by identifying high-risk children and supporting them at the individual, family, and village levels.
