Samsung Vietnam’s nearly-28MWp rooftop solar project put into operation

The system was installed across SEHC’s factory roofs in the Saigon Hi-Tech Park, using close to 45,000 solar panels and advanced equipment meeting international standards.

It is the first rooftop solar project in Vietnam to operate under the country’s Direct Power Purchase Agreement with a dedicated transmission line.

The system is expected to generate more than 40,000 MWh of clean electricity annually, reducing over 26,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

At the inauguration ceremony themed ‘Ignite the Green Future,’ SEHC CEO Hwang Keun Ha said the project reflects Samsung’s long-term commitment to renewable energy and sustainable production.

“Sustainable development is no longer optional but essential for global manufacturers,” he said, emphasizing the company’s goal of building smart, efficient, and environmentally friendly factories.

The project was completed with support from government agencies, local authorities, the electricity sector, and strategic partners including TotalEnergies ENEOS and IPC E&C.

The collaboration ensured timely completion while meeting quality, safety, and efficiency standards.

SEHC said the rooftop solar system will serve as a foundation for expanding future green initiatives, aligning with Samsung’s global sustainability strategy and Vietnam’s energy transition goals.

In addition to the new rooftop solar power system at SEHC, Samsung's other manufacturing subsidiaries in Vietnam have also expanded their use of renewable energy.

Samsung Electronics Vietnam in the northern province of Bac Ninh began operating a rooftop solar system in July 2025, while Samsung Electronics Vietnam Thai Nguyen became the first company in Vietnam to purchase renewable electricity through the national grid under the Direct Power Purchase Agreement mechanism in June this year.
