A. Project description
A.1. Title of the JCM projectIntroduction of Solar PV System at shopping mall in Ho Chi Minh
A.2. General description of project and applied technologies and/or measures
The proposed JCM project aims to reduce CO2 emissions in Viet Nam by introducing a total of320kW power conditioning system and 366.18kW(for rated capacity of module panel)
grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) modules on the roofs of car parking area and bicycle
parking area of shopping mall in Ho Chi Minh.
The PV system in a proposed project activity is connected to an internal grid which is connected
to both the national grid and a captive power generator. The solar PV systems replace electricity
mostly derived from fossil-fuel and they contribute to greenhouse gas emissions reduction inViet Nam. All electricity generated by the solar PV systems is self-consumed and not fed into
the grid.
A remote monitoring system to monitor the performance of the system is also installed.

A.6. Contribution from Japan
The proposed project was partially supported by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan(MOEJ) through the Financing Programme for JCM Model projects, which provided financial
support of less than half of the initial investment for the projects in order to acquire JCM
credits.
As for technology transfer, capacity building on operation and monitoring has been provided
by AEON RETAIL CO., LTD. together with the supplier of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.
