The Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) and the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) have coordinated to organize an international experience-sharing Workshop on rooftop solar power development (under the self-production, self-consumption mechanism). The Workshop was held in the form of face-to-face and online for all EVN units.

The Prime Minister's Decision No. 13/2020 / QD-TTg dated April 6, 2020 on the mechanism to encourage solar power development in Vietnam will expire after the date 31/12/2020 and so far there is no new Decision of the Prime Minister and the next guidance of the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) for these issues. Therefore, the EVN should stop receiving and solving requirements on connection and signing power purchase agreement (PPA) for the rooftop solar power projects developed after December 31, 2020 until the new guidelines from the competence authorities.

Today in Khanh Hoa province, there are more than 500 rooftop solar power projects connected to the national grid. Through the metering system, after consumption of customers, the excess electricity of more than 3.5 million kWh from a total output of the rooftop solar power projects transmitted to the power grid.

The Sai Gon Power Company has signed net-metering contracts with households in districts 1 and 3 that have rooftop solar power panels.

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha expressed that developing rooftop solar power projects is an urgent task and an important solution to mobilize social resources to implement Power Development Planning VIII (PDP VIII). Therefore, mechanisms and policies to encourage organizations and individuals to invest in rooftop solar power projects are consistent policies.

In the Morning of September 27, 2019, a ceremony for inaugurating the rooftop solar power system funded by  the European Union (EU) took place at Vo Thi Sau Primary School (Thuan Phuoc Ward, Hai Chau District, Da Nang City).

Ho Chi Minh City Joint-Stock Commercial Development Bank (HDBank) continues to finance green credit packages worth trillions of dong for businesses, and issues credit cards for the individual and household customers installing rooftop PV systemswith many incentives.

JA Solar announced today that its industry-leading DeepBlue 3.0 PV module was chosen for a large rooftop solar project in Vietnam. JA Solar is supplying 2882 modules, equal to capacity of 1570.69kW, that will power the local operations of Yuzhan Group, a renowned package manufacturer that has supplied products to major companies such as Goretek, Foxconn, and Samsung. Upon the completion of the project, the yearly estimated electrical output of 1700MWh will help Yuzhan substantially reduce its cost of power, while also reducing its CO2 emissions by approximately 1438 tons annually.

LONGi Solar is pleased to announce that it has donated solar modules for a 20.2 kWp rooftop solar system at Vo Thi Sau High School in Con Dao District, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province, through its distribution partner in Vietnam, PowerTech Engineering and Trading Co., Ltd.

The working environment of a PV plant is relatively complex, and extreme environments such as high/low temperature, humidity, salt spray, heavy sand and other harsh environments, can test the reliability and environmental adaptability of the PV system. More and more PV plants are being built in water, desert, and in coastal areas.

On  Aug.  7th,  2014,  at  the  office  of  Central Power  Corporation    (EVN  CPC),  Da  Nang City  was  held  a  Signing  Ceremony  of MoU    between  the  International  Copper Association  of  Southeast  Asia  (ICASEA), Da  Nang  Centre  for  Energy  saving  and technology  transfer    (DECC)  and  EVN  CPC on  establishing  Technical  Regulations  for connecting Solar PV Systems on the roof of the buildings to the National Electric Network.
