SB Electric, a solar power plant specialist, has deployed its panel-level monitoring solution, SolarDoctorPatch, at rooftop solar facilities on buildings in Vietnam’s Long An province and Ho Chi Minh City.
The company said the project was carried out to apply panel-level monitoring and fire-safety technology at rooftop systems at an industrial facility and a newspaper company in Vietnam.
At Songwol Towel’s factory in Long An, the rooftop solar plant, with a capacity of about 148.59 kilowatts, was upgraded from inverter-level monitoring to a panel-level control system. The site also added a rapid shutdown (RSD) function designed to cut voltage in an emergency.
In central Ho Chi Minh City, the technology was piloted on one of four inverter sections at the rooftop solar plant at Tuổi Trẻ newspaper, a 17.70-kilowatt system. The building is in an environment where nearby structures create shading that reduces output. SB Electric said panel-level monitoring and booster equipment confirmed improved generation efficiency in shaded areas.
“For rooftop solar plants and solar installations on urban buildings, panel-level monitoring and output-optimization technology are key factors that determine operating efficiency,” an SB Electric official said. The official added that the company plans to manage an expansion of the technology’s application to commercial and office buildings in urban areas based on the latest deployment.
