In short: Solmast supplies hillside and ground-mount PV mounting structures to Laos from Kunming, Yunnan, connected to Vientiane by the China–Laos railway. Our fixed structures follow slopes up to 30° north–south and 20° east–west, with foundations chosen from the geotechnical report, and every project comes with layout drawings, structural calculations and a bill of materials. We work in English and Chinese.
Why EPCs in Laos work with us
| What matters | What we do |
|---|
| Connected by rail | The China–Laos railway, opened in December 2021, links Kunming and Vientiane; road transport through Yunnan reaches northern provinces directly. |
| Mountain terrain | Posts of different lengths follow the ground; rows are laid out to the slope, as in our hillside design checklist. |
| Foundations for rock and slope | Rock anchors, screw piles, driven piles or pads, chosen from the soil and rock report. |
| Experience from Yunnan’s mountains | Our partner production base supplied structures for 12 utility-scale plants of 50–210 MW, most on Yunnan’s mountains, the same terrain type as northern Laos; see our project references. |
| Coating | Hot-dip galvanized to ISO 1461, with coating set to the site. |
| Project documents | Layout drawings, structural calculation report, bill of materials, steel mill certificates and galvanizing records. |
How a project runs
| Step | What happens |
|---|
| 1. Send the project data | Capacity, layout or site boundary, module data, wind speed, seismic zone and soil report. |
| 2. Design and quotation | Structure design, foundation proposal, weight per table, steel grade and coating, stated line by line. |
| 3. Calculation and drawings | Structural calculation report and layout drawings for approval. |
| 4. Production and inspection | Profiles, galvanizing records and third-party inspection before shipment. |
| 5. Delivery | FOB, CIF or DAP, packed by table and row for site sorting. |
Our commitments
| Commitment | Detail |
|---|
| Reply and quotation | We reply within one working day and normally quote within two working days once we have the project data. |
| Engineering with the offer | A lighting calculation with the IES file and an energy balance for your site, so evaluators can check the design. |
| Samples | Samples or prototypes for approval before production, with photos and video. |
| Factory visit or video audit | Visit our partner production bases near Kunming, or ask for a live video tour of the workshops and your order. |
| Third-party inspection | SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek or your own inspector before shipment. |
| Terms | FOB, CIF or DAP quotations; OEM marking under your own brand on request. |
| First order from your market | Sample terms for a first order from a new market can be discussed, case by case. Ask us when you send the project. |
