Samsung Electric Corporation initiates the initial rooftop solar installation at its Bac Ninh manufacturing facility
Samsung Electronics Vietnam and CME Solar Launch Rooftop Solar Power Project
Samsung Electronics Vietnam and CME Solar have joined forces to launch a rooftop solar power project at Samsung's factory in Bac Ninh, marking a significant milestone in advancing Samsung's sustainability strategy in Vietnam [1][2][3]. The project, with a capacity of 2.38 MWp, is expected to generate around 2.59 million kWh of clean electricity annually [1][2][3].
The solar installation, which reduces carbon dioxide emissions by about 2,460 metric tons per year, supports Vietnam’s national goal of net-zero emissions by 2050 and marks the beginning of Samsung Vietnam’s decarbonisation journey [3]. The project aligns with the Vietnamese government’s net-zero roadmap and demonstrates strong leadership in the transition to renewable energy.
CME Solar, a leading player in the rooftop solar sector, handled the entire process of the project, including technical design, legal support, construction, commissioning, and operation [1][2][3]. The company manages nearly 100 rooftop solar projects nationwide and supports Samsung’s system with a 24/7 AI-enabled monitoring platform for real-time fault detection and system efficiency [1][2][3].
The project was officially inaugurated on July 31, 2021, and Chung Dieu Tuan, CEO of CME Solar, emphasized that the success of the project reflects a shared commitment between SEV and CME Solar to core values of sustainability, innovation, and responsible action [1][2]. Kim Iee Soo, general director of SEV, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the project reflects Samsung's commitment to environmental and social responsibility in Vietnam.
With this rooftop solar project, Samsung Electronics Vietnam, the largest foreign direct investment enterprise in the country, has become a model of ideal collaboration between two leading enterprises in technology and clean energy. Samsung has set its sights on fostering a prosperous economy, fulfilling the aspirations of the Vietnamese populace, and cultivating a deep and enduring appreciation for the Samsung brand within the region. The project contributes directly to environmental sustainability goals on local and global scales.
