Vnautomate – DAT sponsors solar street lights, improving traffic lighting quality in Lam Dong
Understanding the concerns of the residents in Bong Lai Hamlet, DAT decided to sponsor a solar street lighting system, collaborating with the local authorities to implement an intelligent lighting project for 1.8 km of road into neighborhoods 1 and 2 in Bong Lai Hamlet, Hiep Thanh Commune, Duc Trong District, Lam Dong Province.
During the implementation phase, DAT sponsored 51 Sokoyo solar street light poles, including SOLO 15W, TECO 20W, and CONCO 80W models, along with various equipment and materials, design drawings, and project execution coordination. The total estimated cost for the entire project exceeded 650 million VND, with installation starting in July 2022 with full cooperation and support from the local authorities.
To ensure high economic efficiency and stable operation of the project, meeting brightness requirements and standards set by the Ministry of Construction, DAT used Sokoyo solar lights known for their “Quality Standard”, possessing superior advantages in design, technical specifications, complete test reports of lights and LED chips, and certifications such as CE, RoHS, IEC, ISO,… successfully applied in many smart lighting projects in Vietnam.
After a period of construction and assessment of safety and effectiveness, the project was officially inaugurated and handed over on August 19, 2022, with the participation of representatives from the local authorities of Hiep Thanh Commune, Duc Trong District, DAT’s leadership, the contracting construction company, and various media organizations, as well as residents living and working in Bong Lai Hamlet.
During the inauguration and handover ceremony, Mr. Tieu Van Dat – CEO of DAT shared: “Parallel to the business activities in developing the automation and renewable energy sectors, DAT always focuses on the community through many voluntary activities, sponsoring solar power systems, and solar street lighting projects to spread the practical benefits of green energy throughout provinces and cities nationwide. Seeing many roads in Bong Lai Hamlet illuminated by solar lights, making it more convenient and safe for residents to travel at night, DAT is delighted to have sponsored and successfully completed the project according to expectations and goals, receiving high praise from the local government and residents in the area.”
With the desire to “Illuminate every road with solar lights”, improving the quality of rural and urban traffic lighting, DAT will continue to maintain and sponsor more projects in the future. At the same time, DAT will accompany the Government in achieving the target of net zero emissions by 2050 after Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh committed at the COP26 conference on November 1, 2021, through renewable energy projects, building a sustainable green future.
The Bong Lai solar street lighting project operates fully automatically, without the need for grid connection, posing no risk of electric shock, fire, and incurring no costs for wiring, road excavation, or maintenance. All Sokoyo solar lights sponsored by DAT are warranted for 3 years, and the lamp poles are warranted for 1 year from the project acceptance date. It is estimated that each year, the system will save 100% of electricity consumption, equivalent to 17,520 kWh, reduce emissions by more than 14,088 kg CO2, build a bright, green, clean, beautiful, and safe rural landscape, contributing effectively to the criteria for building new rural areas and reducing the burden on the national electricity grid.
DAT believes that in the near future, it will continue to accompany and sponsor many more green energy projects, continuing its pioneering mission to enhance the efficiency of the ecosystem, bringing optimal value to customers, partners, enhancing social responsibility, and making positive contributions to the community.
