SolarGATES and Hopergy partner to bring advanced ZAM steel structural solutions to Vietnam's solar market

Ho Chi Minh City, June 2026 – SolarGATES JSC, a member of the SolarBK Group ecosystem, has announced a strategic partnership with Xiamen Hopergy Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd. (Hopergy), a global manufacturer of photovoltaic mounting structures, to introduce Zinc–Aluminum–Magnesium (ZAM) coated steel product solutions to the Vietnamese market.

Under the agreement, SolarGATES becomes the exclusive distributor in Vietnam for Hopergy’s ZAM steel product portfolio, including cable trays, rooftop walkways, lifeline and safety systems, installation accessories, and structural components. The two companies will also jointly develop and customize products to meet the specific requirements and operating conditions of solar projects in Vietnam.

Vietnam is entering a new phase of strong solar energy growth, driven by policies encouraging self-consumption solar systems across industrial, commercial, and service sectors. As installation capacity expands, demand is also increasing for mounting structures—the critical components responsible for load-bearing and weather resistance throughout a project’s lifecycle, particularly in industrial rooftop applications and large-scale solar projects. EPC contractors and industrial investors increasingly require solutions that meet international technical standards while optimizing project costs and installation timelines, with the flexibility to adapt to the specific requirements of each site.

Dual Advantages and Practical Value for Customers

Unlike many distributors in Vietnam that simply import and resell standard products, SolarGATES and Hopergy work closely together to develop and customize ZAM structural solutions based on actual project requirements in Vietnam, including configuration, dimensions, thickness, and installation methods. This approach delivers significant value to local customers, as each industrial rooftop, terrain condition, and load requirement presents unique challenges.

The partnership combines two key strengths: the design and manufacturing flexibility of a global manufacturer and the local market expertise and technical support capabilities of a SolarBK Group member. Together, these strengths deliver three practical benefits to customers:

First, internationally certified products tailored to Vietnamese conditions, ensuring that each project receives a solution that meets its specific technical requirements rather than relying on a standardized configuration.

Second, superior long-term warranty coverage. Hopergy’s ZAM steel cable trays and rooftop walkways distributed by SolarGATES are backed by a 10-year warranty, whereas comparable locally fabricated products are typically covered for only two to three years after cutting, punching, and forming processes. This difference reflects the manufacturer’s ability to maintain quality control throughout the production process. Third, a single local point of contact. Whether customers are EPC contractors, industrial investors, or distributors, they can work directly with SolarGATES for inventory availability, fast quotations, project-specific technical consulting, and local warranty support, eliminating the need for cross-border coordination.

The Strength Behind the Partnership

Founded in 2007, Hopergy is a vertically integrated manufacturer covering design, research and development, production, and distribution of photovoltaic mounting systems. Its technological capabilities are demonstrated through more than 160 patents and a comprehensive portfolio of international certifications, including ISO 9001, CE, TÜV, MCS, and AS/NZS 1170. Its large-scale, automated, and vertically integrated manufacturing model enables the company to deliver high-quality products at competitive costs.

On the distribution and market development side, SolarGATES leverages the expertise of SolarBK Group, one of Vietnam’s most experienced renewable energy organizations, offering deep local market knowledge and dedicated technical consulting and support services.

Versatile Applications and Sustainable Value

ZAM structural solutions are suitable for a wide range of applications, including commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftops, ground-mounted solar projects, solar carports, and supporting infrastructure such as walkways and cable trays. These products are particularly valuable for projects located in coastal areas and industrial zones where superior corrosion resistance is essential.

This partnership represents more than the addition of a new product line. By jointly developing solutions tailored to Vietnam’s project conditions, SolarGATES and Hopergy are strengthening SolarBK Group’s solar value chain with a high-quality structural solution offering. For customers, the core value lies in long-term sustainability. Structural systems with service lives aligned to the lifecycle of solar installations help reduce mid-life replacement costs, improve investment returns, and minimize environmental waste caused by premature repairs or replacements. This is how solar energy can be developed not only as a clean source of power during operation but also as a sustainable solution from its structural foundation.
