Farming Mounting System Detailed Specifications

Key Components and Specifications:

Materials:

–

Common materials include aluminum alloys (like 6005-T5) and galvanized steel (like Q235 or Q355). Aluminum offers lightweight and corrosion resistance, while steel provides strength and durability

Corrosion Resistance:

–

Appropriate surface treatments like anodization for aluminum or hot-dip galvanization for steel are crucial for preventing corrosion, especially in agricultural environments. 

Wind and Snow Load Resistance:

–

The system’s design must account for local wind and snow loads to ensure structural integrity. Typical specifications include wind speeds up to 60 m/s and snow loads of 1.4 kN/m². 

Tilt Angle and Orientation:

–

Adjustable tilt angles are often incorporated to optimize solar energy capture based on latitude and seasonal variations. 

Foundation:

–

Ground screw foundations are a common choice for their ease of installation and adaptability to various terrains. Concrete foundations may be used in specific situations. 

Module Compatibility:

–

The system should be designed to accommodate different sizes and types of solar panels or other farm equipment. 

Installation

–

Pre-assembly of components can significantly reduce on-site installation time and labor costs. 

Customization:

–

Many manufacturers offer customized design services to meet specific project requirements, including terrain considerations, module layouts, and environmental factors. 

Longevity:

–

The system should be designed for a long service life, often with warranties of 10-20 years. 

Other Considerations:

–

For Agri-PV systems, it’s important to consider light transmission for crop growth and the potential for integrating other features like bug netting or shade cloth.

Examples:

Ground Mounting Systems: These are used for solar panel installations on farmland, allowing for crop cultivation underneath. 

Agri-PV Systems: These systems combine solar energy generation with agricultural production, requiring careful design to balance energy needs and crop requirements

Other Farm Structures:

–

Mounting systems are also used for greenhouses, animal shelters, and other farm buildings.
