Solar Energy Potential in Myanmar Based on the yearly solar radiation map, solar energy potential of Myanmar was investigated. 36% of the total area of the country receives annual solar radiation in the range of 18-19 MJ/m2-day, only a few percents of the area with less solar radiation (< 15 MJ/m2-day). Fig. Variation of monthly mean daily solar radiation, when averaged over the country
Wind Energy Potential in Myanmar Annual Wind Speed (3-4m/s) Wind Power density (0-200 Wm2) Promising areas to harness wind energy are in 4 regions ( Coastal regions in the south and western part ).
