SolarBK and the Green Energy Strategy for Central Vietnam’s Export Supply Chains

On Vietnam’s renewable energy map, Central Vietnam is emerging as a dynamic hub for energy transition. From Da Nang and Quang Ngai to Thua Thien Hue and Quang Tri, rooftop solar systems are forming a growing network of “green rooftops,” helping manufacturers strengthen their competitiveness within global supply chains.

Today, manufacturers in the region face dual pressures: harsh weather conditions and carbon-related trade barriers such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) when exporting to the EU and the United States. In this context, solar power is no longer simply a cost-saving solution, it has become a core component of sustainable development strategies. In 2025 alone, SolarBK completed 38 projects with a total installed capacity of 205 MWp, supplying hundreds of millions of kWh of clean electricity to factories nationwide.

Strategic Links in Green Supply Chains

In Da Nang, the Sedo Vinako project (1,624.7 kWp) has delivered clear results, saving approximately VND 2 billion in electricity costs annually and reducing nearly 1,600 tons of CO₂ emissions. In Quang Tri, the rooftop solar project for an MDF wood manufacturing plant further demonstrates SolarBK’s capabilities in the wood-processing sector, an industry characterized by high power demand and dusty operating environments. The system uses more than 3,200 IREX solar panels and is expected to generate 2.28 million kWh of clean electricity per year, enabling the company to meet stringent export standards for Europe and North America.

Building on this success, the project at PNS Chun (Quang Ngai) helps the enterprise proactively comply with cross-border emissions regulations. Notably, in Thua Thien Hue, the Mikado Hue project marks a breakthrough application of the ESCO model in the construction materials sector. This solution allows the factory to use clean electricity without upfront capital investment, optimizing cash flow while stabilizing long-term energy costs.

Beyond Central Vietnam, SolarBK has also expanded into other energy-intensive industries, including textile manufacturing at Leading Star (Thanh Hoa) and Phu An Yarn, demonstrating its ability to tailor flexible solutions to the specific requirements of each production sector.

Overcoming Natural Challenges with Practical Expertise

Central Vietnam is characterized by frequent storms, high corrosion levels, and harsh industrial operating environments. With years of implementation experience, SolarBK does not apply standardized solutions but instead designs systems based on localized climate data.

From reinforcing rooftop structures to implementing advanced waterproofing treatments for existing factories, every stage is carefully engineered to ensure long-term operational safety. A key technical highlight is the application of IREX bifacial double-glass solar panels. This technology enhances radiation absorption even under diffused light conditions—making it particularly well suited to Central Vietnam’s climate. SolarBK’s control over the entire value chain, from equipment manufacturing to operation and maintenance, ensures consistent construction progress and stable energy performance throughout the storm seasons.

A Vision for a Sustainable Energy Ecosystem

The connection between projects such as Sedo Vinako, MDF Quang Tri, and Mikado Hue reflects SolarBK’s long-term direction: building an intelligent energy management network based on the ERIS platform.

Within this ecosystem, each factory becomes a “green node” in a sustainable supply chain, enabling transparent energy data tracking and real-time emissions reporting—both essential requirements under international ESG standards.

On the pathway toward Net Zero, SolarBK continues expanding rooftop solar deployment across Vietnam’s industrial sector. Supporting leading manufacturers not only helps control long-term energy costs but also represents a strategic step toward proactively adapting to increasingly stringent global trade requirements, contributing to elevating Vietnam’s position on the global map of sustainable manufacturing.

Manufacturers seeking solar energy solutions tailored to their operational conditions and ESG requirements can contact SolarBK directly for consultation on implementation options under optimized ESCO or CAPEX models.
