# Trinasolar Powers Solar-Plus-Storage Project in Phu Quoc, Strengthening Vietnam’s Renewable Energy Future
**PHU QUOC, VIETNAM:** Trinasolar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has supplied a **3 MWp solar PV system featuring its Vertex N 725W (NEG21C.20) modules**, alongside a **10 MWh Trina Storage Elementa 2 battery energy storage system (BESS)** for Corona Resort in Phu Quoc, Vietnam.
The project has been 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. The project is expected to be connected to the grid and commence commercial operations in **mid-September 2026**.
The installation comes as Vietnam experiences rapidly growing electricity demand and an increasing need for a more flexible, resilient and reliable power system. The country aims to develop **10,000–16,300 MW of BESS capacity by 2030**, equivalent to approximately 5.5–6.9% of total power capacity, highlighting the growing importance of energy storage in integrating renewable generation, managing fluctuations and strengthening national energy security.
### Solar + Storage for Phu Quoc’s Growing Energy Demand
The project is particularly significant for **Phu Quoc**, one of Vietnam’s leading tourism destinations, where the continued expansion of hospitality, entertainment and tourism infrastructure is driving demand for reliable electricity.
As one of Vietnam’s largest integrated resort destinations, Corona Resort has substantial and growing electricity requirements across its hospitality, tourism and entertainment operations. The solar-plus-storage solution is designed to increase renewable energy utilization, improve energy flexibility and strengthen the resilience of the resort’s power supply.
The project initially featured **5.5 MWp of installed solar modules**, with an additional **3 MWp of n-type i-TOPCon Vertex N modules** and a **10 MWh AC-coupled Trina Storage Elementa 2 BESS** subsequently added. The development demonstrates how existing solar assets can be enhanced with battery storage to improve system flexibility and maximize the value of renewable generation.
By combining daytime solar generation with energy storage, commercial and industrial users can better manage energy costs while creating additional operational value. The integrated PV+BESS system can enable greater utilization of onsite solar generation, reduce peak electricity demand, enhance energy resilience and improve overall operating efficiency.
> “This project demonstrates how advanced PV and battery storage technologies can be successfully integrated into a large-scale commercial facility in Vietnam,” said a representative from **Nam Viet Green Energy JSC**. “Trinasolar went beyond its role as a technology supplier, drawing on its expertise across PV and energy storage to advise on the BESS configuration and operating approach. This helped us develop a solution aligned with the project’s technical and commercial requirements.”
### Unlocking Greater Value from Existing Solar Assets
The Phu Quoc project also highlights an emerging opportunity in Vietnam’s renewable energy market: **using energy storage to unlock greater value from existing solar investments**, rather than focusing solely on adding new generation capacity.
“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, Trinasolar Asia Pacific**.
“These projects can present challenges from early-stage system planning to integration and delivery, making close collaboration between technology providers, EPCs and customers essential. By bringing PV and BESS together through bankable products, system-level understanding and regional execution experience, Trinasolar is helping partners in Vietnam develop PV+BESS projects for both generation and flexibility.”
As Vietnam moves toward a more flexible and resilient power system, projects such as the Phu Quoc installation demonstrate the growing potential of **solar-plus-storage solutions for commercial and industrial users**. The project not only supports the rising energy needs of one of Vietnam’s major tourism destinations but also illustrates how advanced PV and BESS technologies can accelerate the country’s transition toward a more reliable and sustainable energy future.
