\n\n- Iran war and Strait of Hormuz disruption triggered soaring energy costs across Southeast Asia, which relies heavily on imported oil — accelerating solar adoption as an emergency response
\n- Philippines hardest hit: Oil and gas price spikes cost Filipino consumers over USD600 million in the first 60 days of the crisis
\n- Government austerity measures imposed: Philippines mandated a four-day work week and air-conditioning no lower than 24°C to curb energy consumption
\n- Solar installations surged 70% weekly in the Philippines, with customer inquiries jumping six-fold from 115 to over 450 per week
\n- Indonesia targets 100 GW rooftop solar by 2034 (up from just 1.3 GW currently) — one of the most ambitious expansion plans in the region
\n- Vietnam aims rooftop solar on 10%+ of public offices and homes by 2030, with solar capacity already surpassing 19 GW nationally
\n- Chinese clean tech exports hit record 68 GW in March 2026, with exports to Asia doubling to 39 GW — supplying the region's solar boom
\n- Key industry quote: 'This crisis is a driving force for solar. People want solar and people want solar now'
\n- Malaysia connection: As an oil-importing ASEAN nation, Malaysia faces similar energy security pressures, making domestic solar expansion a strategic priority under NETR

\n\n- 伊朗战争和霍尔木兹海峡中断导致严重依赖进口石油的东南亚能源成本飙升，推动太阳能作为应急措施被快速采用
\n- 菲律宾受冲击最大：油价和天然气价格飙升在危机前60天内给菲律宾消费者造成超过6亿美元损失
\n- 政府实施节能措施：菲律宾强制实行四天工作制，空调温度不得低于24°C以抑制能源消耗
\n- 菲律宾太阳能安装量每周激增70%，客户咨询量从每周115次跃升至450次以上，增长六倍
\n- 印尼目标2034年实现100吉瓦屋顶太阳能（目前仅1.3吉瓦）——该地区最雄心勃勃的扩张计划之一
\n- 越南目标2030年在10%以上的公共办公楼和住宅安装屋顶太阳能，全国太阳能装机容量已超过19吉瓦
\n- 中国清洁技术出口在2026年3月创纪录达68吉瓦，对亚洲出口翻倍至39吉瓦——供应该地区的太阳能热潮
\n- 行业关键引言：「这场危机是太阳能的推动力。人们现在就想要太阳能」
\n- 马来西亚关联：作为石油进口型东盟国家，马来西亚面临类似的能源安全压力，使国内太阳能扩张成为NETR下的战略重点
