Tiếng ViệtIn the context of an urgent shift towards clean energy, solar power projects not only reaffirm strategic vision but also serve as a benchmark for the execution capabilities of contractors. The DSR rooftop solar power project, with a total capacity of 3000kWp, stands as a prime example implemented by INS Energy. From the pre-construction phase, the project faced complex technical and legal challenges, requiring meticulous preparation and integrated solutions to ensure on-time delivery as committed to the investor.
Current Status and Challenges of the DSR Project | Pressure from Specific Deadlines
Unlike conventional projects, DSR was required by the investor to complete all phases — from site survey, design, and construction to commercial operation — within just a few months. This timeline was not merely a deadline, but a rigorous test of project management, interdisciplinary coordination, and real-time issue resolution.
One of the first major obstacles was the condition of the existing corrugated metal roof, which showed signs of deterioration and rust. This required the technical team to promptly propose a solution for surface touch-up, restoration, and reinforcement to extend the roof’s service life without disrupting the deployment schedule.
From a technological perspective, the project utilized a Zero Export system across five transformer stations — a specific requirement to prevent any excess solar electricity from being fed back into the grid. Integrating the new Sum Zero Export technology from Mulhean — which had not yet been widely deployed in Vietnam — presented significant challenges in terms of equipment compatibility and system operations for the INS Energy technical team.
In addition to technical concerns, legal procedures such as obtaining construction permits, fire safety approvals, and environmental registration were mandatory prerequisites before commencing construction. These procedures typically take 30 to 50 days to process, placing considerable pressure on the overall project timeline.
INS Energy – Professional Organization, Methodical Execution
In response to these requirements and challenges, the project team took swift and decisive action. Roof condition assessments and restoration proposals were conducted and approved within a short timeframe. Simultaneously, INS Energy coordinated closely with Mulhean to integrate the Zero Export solution across all five transformer stations, ensuring system compatibility and electrical safety.
On the legal front, the project team proactively engaged with relevant authorities from the outset, establishing a clear roadmap for obtaining all required permits, thereby ensuring that all construction activities would proceed in compliance with applicable regulations.
Beyond resolving technical and legal hurdles, the DSR project also demonstrated INS Energy’s professional execution capabilities through a detailed construction plan, rational allocation of resources, and strict daily progress monitoring. This project serves as a model of thorough preparation, transparency, and effective management in large-scale renewable energy initiatives led by INS Energy.
