Solar power - New trend for households

In recent years, solar power has become the choice of many households in Lao Cai, not only because of its economic benefits but also because of its environmental friendliness. This model helps reduce pressure on the national grid and significantly saves on living expenses.

The family of Mr. Tran Hoai Uoc (Group 17, Cam Duong Ward) invested nearly 40 million VND to install a rooftop solar power system. After a year of use, he said: "My family works as a motorbike repairman, so we use a lot of electricity, especially during the day. Since installing solar power, the electricity bill has decreased significantly — from about 2.4 - 2.6 million VND/month to 1 - 1.2 million VND. This summer, my two children can stay at home with the air conditioner and fan on all day without worrying about wasting electricity."

Also in Cam Duong ward, Mr. Pham Ngoc Chau's family (group 13) decided to invest in a 10kWp system worth nearly 80 million VND, both to serve family life and to supply electricity to the coffee shop.

According to equipment suppliers, the number of households installing solar power in Lao Cai is increasing; mainly households with systems with capacity of 5 - 10 kWp. The cost of installing solar power systems has now decreased significantly thanks to the diversity of types and technical solutions, making it easier for many families to access.

In addition to economic factors, environmental protection awareness is also the driving force that makes many households switch to using renewable energy to be self-sufficient and ensure family life.

Viettel Construction Lao Cai Branch is currently one of the units providing solar power services to local people.

Mr. Tran Huu Tuan, Sales Director of Viettel Construction Lao Cai Branch, said that since the beginning of 2025, the number of people installing solar power has increased dramatically. Each month, the unit signs installation contracts for more than 30 households and units in the area, a 10-fold increase compared to the same period in 2024.

The number of households installing solar power systems has increased significantly in recent times and is expected to continue to increase in the future. With a one-time investment but long-term use, solar power not only helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also contributes to economic development, reduces household electricity costs and moves towards a green, environmentally friendly life.
