IREX Energy joint-stock company said the Agri-PV, which was produced at its VungTau city-based plant, is designed with power capacity from 265 to 400 wattseach for flexible installation at crop and aquatic farms as well as log farms.
Director of IREX Nguyen Son Truong Giang said the locally-made Agri-PV iseligible for ‘green’ energy farm projects as solar panels were created withmonocrystalline double glass bifacial for better light absorption.
He said a 300sq.m farm can install Agri-PV modules to generate 160kw per hour,while having a balanced temperature and moisture for crops below.
The solar power PV module has been used at a pilot sugar cane and a log farm incentral Phu Yen province from 2018.
The southern Vung Tau-based plant, which was launched with total capacity of350MWp (photo-voltaic cells) solar cells and 500MWp solar panels per year, hadto reduce capacity by 30 percent due to the impact of COVID-19 and socialdistancing regulations.
It said 40 percent of locally made solar cells were exported to European andNorth American markets from 2018.
The demand for dual-use solar power at agriculture projects in Vietnam is highwith 10.23 million hectares of farmland and 15.8 million hectares of forestfarm area.
The local solar power manufacturer plans to provide solar cells and PV for onemillion green roof-top systems in central Vietnam.
It said solar power and wind power products from IREX were used to createrenewable energy on islands and technical platforms in the Truong Saarchipelago of Vietnam./.
