SolarBK at 20, When Trust Becomes a Green Energy Foundation

Twenty years ago, SolarBK began with quiet scientific research and a belief in clean energy. Twenty years later, the company enters a new phase of growth, moving beyond building solar projects to creating a green energy platform where energy truly lives within systems, businesses, and everyday life.

Beginning with the First “Seeds of Sunlight”

SolarBK’s journey did not begin with grand slogans, but with a scientific foundation quietly built over decades. Since 1975, expert groups from Thai Nguyen University of Technology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, the RECTERE Center, and Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology had conducted early foundational research on renewable energy through city-, ministerial-, and state-level projects. At the time, wind and solar energy were still experimental concepts, far removed from daily life and the marketplace. In 2006, SolarBK was officially established with a clear choice: to bring those research outcomes out of laboratories and into real-world application. Its earliest projects were not developed under favorable conditions, but in the challenging environments of the Spratly Islands and the DK1 offshore platforms, where clean energy had to withstand strong winds, high salinity, frequent storms, and severe logistical constraints. In such conditions, solar power was not merely required to be installed, but to operate reliably, durably, and consistently. It was here that SolarBK’s philosophy of “doing real work” took shape from the very beginning.
From those first “seeds of sunlight,” SolarBK chose a long-term path, doing real work, going deep, and building solid foundations.

Twenty Years of Resilience, Doing Real Work to Create Real Value

SolarBK’s two decades of development are not measured by the speed of expansion or the number of projects delivered, but by the level of mastery achieved. In an industry as dynamic and volatile as energy, SolarBK has remained steadfast in investing in research and development, viewing core technology and operational capability as the essential foundations for long-term growth. Each project is approached as a comprehensive challenge, where design, implementation, and operation must be fully aligned with real-world conditions and long-term use requirements. For SolarBK, “doing real work” is not simply about completing projects, but about building internal capability. That capability is reflected in the gradual mastery of the renewable energy value chain, from technical solutions and financial models to risk management and sustainable operations. This approach generates “real value”: systems that operate reliably over time, long-term partnerships, and trust accumulated steadily year after year. In an industry often driven by cycles and trends, SolarBK has chosen to move deliberately in order to go further.

From energy infrastructure supporting modern industrial production such as VinFast, to LEGO’s Net Zero, certified factory, projects across textile and footwear export supply chains, collaborations with EVN, developments in tourism, community programs, and thousands of other projects nationwide, each SolarBK project serves as tangible proof of its commitment to real work and long-term value.

International sustainability–certified projects and large-scale energy infrastructure for modern industry are not viewed as final destinations, but as natural outcomes of a disciplined and consistent foundation-building process. SolarBK’s brand, therefore, has not been shaped by advertising or surface-level activities, but by trust formed through real projects, where sound business practices and sustainable governance work together to create value for customers and society. 2026: Not Just an Anniversary, but a New Starting Line

SolarBK’s first twenty years were a period of foundation-building, from remote islands and offshore platforms to major industrial centers on the mainland. Entering 2026, SolarBK does not look back with a sense of closure, but regards this milestone as a new starting line for the next growth cycle, aligned with the goal of Net Zero by 2050. This is not an abrupt shift, but the natural outcome of two decades of persistent, methodical groundwork.

In this new phase, SolarBK defines a broader role within the energy ecosystem. Beyond project development, the company is gradually evolving into a green electricity retailer, bringing renewable energy closer to businesses and communities. At the same time, SolarBK aims to become a sustainable energy infrastructure partner for industrial zones and urban developments, where energy is not only a production input but a core component of long-term development strategies.

The focus of the road ahead rests on key pillars including ESG, energy platforms, ERIS, and participation in a competitive power market powered entirely by renewable energy. This is not expansion in breadth, but progress in depth, built upon foundations established over the past two decades.

Not Only Building Projects, but Building Platforms For SolarBK, green energy only truly matters when it is able to “live” within systems and everyday life. Therefore, alongside solar power projects, SolarBK concentrates on building platforms that connect technology, services, finance, and people, making solar energy more accessible, scalable, and reliable for decades to come.

Where energy meets people, solutions move beyond pure technical constructs and become a natural part of operations and daily living. From the SolarBK platform offering flexible energy solutions, to SolarESCO simplifying solar adoption for businesses, and SolarGates providing approachable, community-focused solutions, green energy is integrated into real life in a practical and sustainable way.

SolarBK’s twenty-year journey has been shaped by people who believed in a difficult path at a time when clean energy was still viewed with skepticism. It is the story of generations of engineers who worked persistently over two decades, transforming knowledge into infrastructure and trust into tangible foundations. The sun continues to shine, and the journey of green trust goes on, quietly yet steadfastly, toward a more sustainable future for Vietnam. For SolarBK, the past twenty years do not mark an ending, but open the way forward with greater confidence and resilience.
