The solar energy project under the ESCO model at SC VivoCity Shopping Center, invested in by ACCV and the EPC Contractor of 365 Energy , began on October 21, 2021. This solar energy system, with a total capacity of 754.53 kWp, can provide enough electricity for shopping centers to use during peak hours.
The system consists of:
- 1410 PV panels with a capacity of 535 W
- 7 inverters (Inverter) with a capacity of 82.8kW
- DC Optimizer system that monitors each module level (Module), increasing efficiency by more than 25% when the panels are partially shaded, optimizing system efficiency up to 99.5%, and ensuring fire protection standards.
The expected power output of 1050GWh/year contributes to environmental protection by reducing emissions by 830 tons of CO2/year across the country. Furthermore, with a large number of solar panels covering the rooftop of the center, the roof temperature is reduced by 3-5℃, resulting in cutting down the amount of electricity consumed for cooling inside the shopping center.
This is a meaningful project in terms of producing green energy from sunlight, limiting the emission of harmful gasses into the atmosphere, contributing to environmental protection, as well as saving energy costs compared to using electricity from the national grid.
The project is scheduled to be completed and put into use in December 2021.
