Sungrow Announces Operation of Vietnam’s 350 MW Solar Farm

Renewable inverter solution provider, Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd has announced the commercial operation of the 350 MW solar farm with the company’s 1500V 6.25 MW turnkey inverter solution in Binh Phuoc Province, Vietnam – a step towards sustainable, and decarbonize growth.

Soon after the operation, the largest plant in Southeast Asia plant will generate more than 700 GWh of solar electricity per year, enabling it to power 370,000 households. With a fixed tariff of $0.0709 per kWh, the revenue can reach $49,630,000 per year.

Commenting on the development, Dr. Thang Vu, Country Manager of Sungrow Vietnam said, “As one of the early entrants in the market, Sungrow will continue to bring forth cutting-edge renewable energy solutions collaborating with partners, powering up more communities and facilities. Although it had its unique challenges, 2020 was a highly successful year for Sungrow Vietnam. Our local presence in the Vietnam market for more than three years helps us resonate with our customers and their unique needs. Our target for 2021 is to grow our market share in the utility-scale and get a stronger foothold in the rooftop segment.”

The supply of an updated 6.25 MW turnkey solution will minimise the cost of transportation and O&M, as it integrates central inverters, the medium-voltage transformer, and more devices in a 40-ft container.

The solution features an off-grid commissioning function, ensuring a shorter commissioning duration. It is reserved with a DC energy storage system interface for future consideration, enabling no further modifications of system design. It can work in PCS mode so that the battery can be charged by the grid.

Being one of the hottest renewable energy markets in the world, Vietnam – it’s reported that the country will face severe power shortages from 2021 onwards when electricity demand will outpace the construction of new generation capacity. Sungrow with over 154 GW installed worldwide as of December 2020, may come to the rescue.
