Rooftop solar event entices EPC contractors and investment funds

The event at Eastin Grand Hotel Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City’s Phu Nhuan district attracted many EPC contractors, construction companies, design consultants, and sizable rooftop solar project investment funds.

At the seminar, representatives from global energy group Sungrow and Canadian Solar introduced their new-generation products catered to the large-scale C&I segment.

The latest Sungrow grid-tied inverter SG125CX-P2 for C&I is compatible with panels with a capacity surpassing 500Wp.

Not only an upgraded version in terms of capacity, the SG125CX-P2 also embraces many new technologies, helping to increase output by about 2 per cent compared to the old version whilst bolstering operational efficiency.

SG125CX-P2 improves the maximum input current to 15A per string, which helps enhance the DC generating capacity, thereby bringing a higher yield.

In addition, it also applies advanced Power Max of 12 MPPTs with 98.5 per cent efficiency, which tracks points of the highest power accuracy to ensure the PV system constantly works at the optimal power generation state.

As a result of this technology, the overall yield increases. Moreover, considering this series is mostly installed on C&I buildings’ rooftops, Sungrow also equips it with updated AFCI 2.0 and Type I+II SPD. The AFCI 2.0 system can detect arcs with 99.9 per cent accuracy; such excellent detection capability exceeds the requirements of the UL1699B standard.

As for solar panels, a representative from CSI in Vietnam presented the HiKu7 product line with a capacity reaching 675Wp, which helps reduce the levelized cost of electricity by 8.9 per cent and drives down the system cost by up to 5.7 per cent.

The HiKu7 applies the latest TOPCon technology, allowing the panel to absorb more radiation whilst bolstering efficiency by up to 22.5 per cent.

With the eminent advantages of the new products, EPC contractors, design consultants and construction partners will now have the perfect choice for large-scale C&I solar energy projects, as they meet the burgeoning demands for self-consumption electricity for business activities throughout Vietnam.

DAT Solar and its partners are expected to jointly replicate the solar power model throughout the country, accompanying the government’s journey to realise its Net-zero target by 2050.

Addressing the seminar, Tieu Van Dat, general director of DAT Group JSC noted, “The seminar provided a valued opportunity for DAT Solar and its partners to share experiences and jointly develop solar energy for businesses, greening factory rooftops with global products from our top strategic partners Sungrow and Canadian Solar.

Currently, DAT Solar is the authorised partner of Canadian Solar and Sungrow in Vietnam, providing customers with genuine products, competitive prices, a warranty policy and 24/7 technical support, along with many smart, efficient and cost-optimized solar energy solutions.

Also at the seminar, DAT Solar introduced the configuration of a 1MWp project using the SG125CX-P2 inverter, helping the participants to intuitively grasp the system’s practical performance more clearly and to illustrate when there is a need for project deployment.”

Participants asked questions related to actual project implementation and experienced displays of ​​Sungrow’s inverter products, Sokoyo solar lights, and more.

Through the workshop, with the right development direction, strong cohesion, and spirit for mutual development, DAT Solar and its partners are expected to jointly replicate the solar power model throughout the country, accompanying the government’s journey to realise its Net-zero target by 2050.

A similar seminar will also be held in Hanoi on March 17, continuing the mission to spread practical value and boost investment efficiency for EPC contractors in the northern region.

To date, DAT Solar has deployed more than 10,000 solar power systems with a total capacity surpassing 800MWp. The company is also a major supplier of large-scale power storage and solar power equipment and is a comprehensive and sustainable companion for businesses.

Businesses that intend to deploy rooftop solar energy for their own use must await a seamless link to the national energy grid.

Many foreign investors are funding rooftop solar panels in Vietnam to meet the increasing demands of industrial zone developers and transition towards sustainable energy sources.

The Future Energy Show Vietnam and The Solar Show Vietnam – the largest energy events in the nation – return to Ho Chi Minh City once again this July. After an absence of more than three years, they mark the first time that energy leaders have been able to gather on such a scale since 2019.
