Solar First Group’s Multi-Scenario Mounting Solutions Empower Vietnam’s Energy Transition

On July 8–9, 2026, Solar & Storage Live Vietnam 2026 took place at SKY EXPO in Ho Chi Minh City, drawing over 5,500 participants, more than 200 exhibitors, and upwards of 120 speakers. At Booth 1‑M14, Solar First Group presented its three core product portfolios—rooftop mounting systems, ground mounting systems, and floating PV systems. The combination of reliable product performance and a deep comprehension of local market dynamics drew considerable interest from Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian visitors, prompting numerous on‑site discussions.

Rooftop Mounting Systems: Precisely Addressing Vietnam’s Booming Distributed PV Sector

Vietnam is currently accelerating rooftop solar deployment with strong policy backing. In March 2026, the Prime Minister issued Directive No. 10/CT‑TTg, emphasising energy conservation and the expansion of rooftop PV. The Ministry of Industry and Trade later released an implementation roadmap, mandating a nationwide electricity saving rate of at least 3% for 2026, with the target raised to 10% during the peak summer months (April–July). Moreover, the annual goal stipulates that 10% of government buildings and 10% of residential households are to be equipped with rooftop solar installations.

On the incentive front, Decree No. 243/2026 has recently lifted the cap on surplus rooftop electricity fed into the grid from 20% to 50%, with further flexibility allowed before December 31, 2030, subject to grid capacity. For off‑grid areas such as mountainous, border, and island regions, no upper limit applies to surplus power sales.

Solar First Group’s rooftop mounting systems, fabricated from high‑strength aluminium alloy with an anodised finish, ensure extended durability. Their drill‑free, weld‑free installation preserves roof waterproofing and accommodates various roof types. Against the backdrop of aggressive rooftop PV roll‑outs across government agencies, commercial entities, and households, these systems deliver dependable support. Additionally, the aluminium alloy is 95% recyclable, aligning with circular economy principles.

Ground Mounting Systems: Backing Large‑Scale Utility Plants and Off‑Grid Projects

Vietnam’s solar market is on a steep growth trajectory. Under the 8th Power Development Plan (PDP VIII), the nation targets 46–73 GW of solar capacity by 2030. Industry estimates value the market at roughly 19.5 GW in 2025, with projected growth to 21.76 GW in 2026 and 37.63 GW by 2031.

The ground mounting systems exhibited by Solar First Group are engineered for utility‑scale installations, offering straightforward assembly and adaptability to challenging terrains. Manufactured from advanced aluminum‑magnesium‑zinc‑coated steel, they boast superior corrosion resistance, supported by salt‑spray test certifications. In regions like Vietnam’s Central Highlands—where solar irradiation is high yet topography varies widely—these products effectively address steep slopes and ravines, delivering a cost‑effective structural solution for ground‑mount projects.

Floating PV Systems: Meeting the Growing Trend of Water‑Based Solar Development

Vietnam’s floating solar segment is expanding rapidly. Notably, Sơn La Province has launched an 800 MW floating PV project, investing approximately VND 17 trillion (USD 646 million) across over 1,139 hectares of water surface. The project will proceed in four phases, with the first 200 MW scheduled for operation in 2027. In Đắk Lắk Province, the 304 MW KN Srêpốk 3 floating project, backed by more than VND 7.66 trillion, is set to commence commercial operation in Q4 2027. Additional floating projects are advancing in Gia Lai and other provinces. Meanwhile, Power Generation Corporation 1 (EVNGENCO1) has proposed three floating PV installations in Lâm Đồng Province’s reservoirs, totalling nearly 270 MW.

Solar First Group’s floating PV systems are purpose‑built for aquatic environments, featuring ease of construction, robust system compatibility, and reliable safety performance. They are suitable for lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and similar water bodies. As Vietnam transitions from pilot floating projects to full‑scale development, this product line is poised to capture substantial market opportunities.

Accelerating Energy Transition Sustains Demand Across All Scenarios

Vietnam stands at a pivotal point in its energy restructuring journey. PDP VIII has significantly elevated solar ambitions. In 2025 alone, the country added 586 MW of new PV capacity, with distributed generation leading the charge. The recent upward revision of the rooftop feed‑in ratio, alongside the Direct Power Purchase Agreement (DPPA) mechanism, is expected to further boost demand in 2026.

In the floating segment, the 800 MW Sơn La project alone covers over 1,139 hectares, while the 304 MW Đắk Lắk facility occupies roughly 360 hectares. Such large‑scale undertakings impose higher requirements on adaptability, safety, and installation speed for floating mounting systems—precisely the strengths that Solar First Group showcased at the event.

Throughout the exhibition, the Solar First team held in‑depth conversations with EPC contractors, project developers, and industry bodies from Vietnam and neighbouring countries, covering topics ranging from local water conditions to distributed rooftop growth and utility‑scale plant construction. Thanks to its sustained commitment to the Southeast Asian market, the company has secured initial client confidence and trust.

Looking forward, Solar First Group remains dedicated to its brand vision—“New Energy New World.” Building on its technical expertise across rooftop, ground, and floating solutions, and driven by product adaptability and responsive service, the company is poised to contribute further reliable strength to Vietnam’s and Southeast Asia’s energy transition.
