Trinasolar Deploys 10 MWh Solar-Plus-Storage System in Vietnam – energynews.pro

Trinasolar supplied 3 MWp of solar modules and a 10 MWh battery storage system for the Corona Resort tourism complex in Phu Quoc, as part of a project developed by Nam Viet Green Energy JSC.
Trinasolar has supplied 3 MWp of Vertex N 725W (NEG21C.20) solar PV modules combined with a 10 MWh Trina Storage Elementa 2 battery energy storage system (BESS) for Corona Resort, a solar-plus-storage project located in Phu Quoc, Vietnam. The project is developed by Nam Viet Green Energy JSC, one of Vietnam’s leading renewable energy companies, specializing in the development, investment, design, engineering, procurement, construction and installation of renewable energy systems.
Grid connection and the start of commercial operations are expected in mid-September, according to Trinasolar. The deployment reflects a broader trend observed across several markets, as the US utility-scale battery storage market piles up commissioning delays, where solar and storage integration sometimes runs into scheduling constraints.
Corona Resort, described as one of Vietnam’s largest integrated tourism destinations, faces growing electricity demand driven by its tourism operations. The site initially had 5.5 MWp of modules installed, to which the 3 MWp of n-type i-TOPCon Vertex N modules and the 10 MWh AC-coupled Trina Storage Elementa 2 unit have now been added. According to Trinasolar, this expansion shows how existing solar assets can be strengthened with battery storage to improve the resilience of local power supply.
Combining daytime solar generation with the energy flexibility provided by storage would allow commercial and industrial users to better manage their energy costs. The integrated PV+BESS system is intended to enable greater use of onsite solar generation, reduce peak electricity demand and improve overall operating efficiency, according to the company.
The project is part of a broader trend of solar-plus-storage deployment in Vietnam, which aims to develop between 10,000 and 16,300 MW of BESS capacity by 2030. That target reflects the growing role of battery storage in integrating solar and wind power, improving dispatchability and strengthening the country’s energy security.
“This project demonstrates how advanced PV and BESS technologies can be successfully integrated into large-scale commercial facilities in Vietnam,” a representative from Nam Viet said, as quoted by Trinasolar. According to the representative, Trinasolar went beyond its role as a technology supplier by advising on the BESS configuration and operating approach.
“Enhancing existing solar assets with energy storage is one of the emerging pathways in Vietnam’s renewable energy market,” said Elva Wang, Group Director of Southeast, South and Central Asia at Trinasolar Asia Pacific. She emphasized the importance of close collaboration between technology providers, EPC contractors and customers in delivering this type of project that combines generation and flexibility.
