Solar + Storage: The New Standard for Industrial Decarbonization in Asia

Solar paired with battery storage is no longer an emerging trend — it has become the operational benchmark for industrial decarbonization across Asia. This shift reflects not just technological progress, but also a clear change in how corporates, governments, and investors define credible clean energy strategies.

During the 4th Solar Energy Storage Future Asia 2025 conference in Bangkok, Khomson Khenyotha, Managing Director for Thailand and Regional Head of New Business, joined a panel focused on “Empowering Asia’s Sustainable Growth.”

The discussions echoed what we see across the region’s energy transition landscape:

Three Takeaways from the Ground:

• Solar + Storage is the new baseline
  Standalone solar is no longer sufficient. Storage is now essential to smooth output, secure RECs, and meet 24/7 renewable delivery expectations — especially in markets facing curtailment or grid instability.

‍

• Scalability and bankability drive uptake
  Corporates are looking for asset-backed models that integrate seamlessly with cross-border procurement strategies, meet sustainability reporting standards, and can scale without delivery risk.

‍

• Execution certainty is now the key differentiator
  As clean energy moves from pilot projects to core infrastructure, energy buyers are prioritizing partners who can structure, finance, and deliver across Asia’s fragmented markets — without bottlenecks.

‍

These realities are reshaping how energy strategies are built in the region. Hybrid solar-storage systems are now being deployed not just for cost savings, but to secure operational resilience, meet carbon mandates, and satisfy buyer pressure throughout supply chains.

What matters most is execution. With capital-intensive timelines, complex permitting, and rising scrutiny on delivery, stakeholders need energy partners who offer institutional reliability, technical precision, and the ability to navigate regulatory nuance — all at once.
