Economic solutions when using rooftop solar power

Rooftop solar power system is one of the renewable energy sources that are widely-used in Vietnamese and international markets. It is an economic problem for businesses, factories, farms, schools, etc, while increasing competitiveness when applying green certificates produced from solar power.

PEC shares about economic solutions when using rooftop solar power. Through this article, you will understand more about the benefits of using rooftop solar power to consider using our company’s services.

1. Rooftop solar power

Solar power is a type of renewable energy generated by solar radiation. Vietnam’s resources are unlimited due to 1500-1700 sunny hours in the North and 2000-2600 in the South and Central regions.

Using rooftop solar power can save monthly electricity costs; the solar power system is quite durable with low operating and maintenance costs; reducing carbon emissions and noise pollution that cause environmental pollution. In addition, solar power increases competitiveness when applying green certificates.

2. Proposals of installing solar power system

According to the Decision on the National Power Plan 2021 – 2030 period, with a vision to 2050, prioritizing to propose the installation of rooftop solar power systems for households, buildings, offices, etc. in Vietnam with low investment capital but making the most of the electricity produced from the solar panels. Vietnam sets the target that 50% households and 50% factories, enterprises will install and use their own rooftop solar power systems by 2030.

The data of solar power system is collected according to the standards of radiation source, tilt angle and how to install panels in the right direction of direct sunlight, electricity is simulated on the applications Global Solar Atlas, PVsyst and solar power systems put into operation in that area. Refer to 10 areas with different radiation sources and weather to determine the need for rooftop solar power installation in the near future such as: Northeast, Northwest, Red River Delta, North Central, South Central, Central Highlands, Binh Thuan, Ninh Thuan, Southeast, Southwest and HCM City.

3. Economic solutions when using rooftop solar power

Many businesses are aware of the importance of using solar power during production and during the time of power cut in the North. Therefore, in the coming years, it is proposed that businesses should supplement renewable energy sources like solar power because of many favorable factors and easy installation on the roofs of factories and houses or vacant land in industrial zones.

In addition, rooftop solar power does not affect land use planning, so this solution helps increasing electricity supply for areas at risk of power shortage, especially in workshops using a large amount of electricity like industrial sector in times of high load, and when Vietnam experiences very hot weather.

According to the representative of Hansiba, the Ministry of Industry and Trade is currently developing a draft decision of the Prime Minister on a mechanism to encourage the development of solar power installed in houses and offices in Vietnam. In which, organizations, individuals and enterprises investing in the solar power systems are exempted from electricity activity license and electricity business registration certificate, taxes and fees as well as supporting loans at preferential interest rates as prescribed by law.

PEC actively develops and installs rooftop solar power systems in factories, enterprises, and production plants with a view to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, cooling the factory roof, stabilizing the power source and reducing the high cost of electricity for daytime use and improving the image of the business.

In Vietnam, the trend of using solar power is quite new, but with economic and environmental benefits, businesses will have development opportunities. PEC is always willing to supply and install high quality civil and commercial solar power systems with activities such as consultancy, construction, installation and maintenance of the entire system.
