Why Solar Projects Fail in Emerging Markets: New Analysis Highlights Local Grid and Climate Risks
A new analysis published in THISDAY explains why renewable projects struggle in Africa and Asia and why local engineering experience matters.
MANILA, TARLAC, PHILIPPINES, December 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Solaren Renewable Energy Solutions Corp. announced the publication of a new guest analysis on THISDAY Live examining why many renewable energy projects in emerging markets fall short of their expected performance. The article explains that the core issues are not the renewable technologies themselves but a mismatch between imported design assumptions and the realities of local grids and climates.
The analysis identifies four consistent failure points seen across Africa and Southeast Asia:
• Environmental mismatch. Systems specified for mild climates struggle under the extreme heat, humidity, dust, and storm exposure everyday in emerging markets.
• Structural weaknesses. Imported design templates are often applied to non-standard roofs or structures, increasing the risk of leaks, corrosion, and electrical faults.
• Procurement risk. The push for lowest-cost bids leads to counterfeit or sub-spec components that degrade quickly and undermine long-term performance.
• Flawed financial models. Idealized yield and grid-stability assumptions rarely match local conditions, leading to projected returns that collapse once systems operate in the field.
“The spreadsheets always look clean, but the moment a system meets real environmental challenges, assumptions start to break,” said Neil Pearce, founder of Solaren Renewable Energy Solutions Corp. “Real success comes from engineering that matches the local grid and climate, not designs copied from markets with cooler weather and stable infrastructure.”
Solaren operates across the Philippines and focuses on engineering-led design for commercial and industrial solar projects.
