Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) on September 9 launched the EVNSOLAR platform at http://solar.evn.com.vn to assist potential investors, both households and enterprises, in accessing this type of power source.

The platform provides comprehensive solutions meeting the needs of potential investors, and connects investors with prestigious contractors as well as banks and financial organisations.

After a project is completed, its investor will be given an account on the platform to assess the quality of products and services of involved contractors. 

The Government’s policies to encourage the development of renewable energy have successfully fuelled the rapid development of projects in the field.

As of the start of September, nearly 50,000 roof-top solar power projects with total capacity of close to 1,200 MWp had been completed and put into operation across the country.

With millions of private houses and buildings, there is tremendous potential for the development of roof-top solar energy in Vietnam.
