Ground Mounting System Detailed Specifications

Key Components and Specifications:

–

Support Structure:

This is the framework that holds the solar panels. It can be made of various materials like aluminum or steel, with options for pre-engineered systems or custom-built solutions.

–

Foundations:

Ground mounts can utilize different foundation types, including ballasted (concrete blocks), screw piles, or direct-fix methods, depending on site conditions and project requirements.

–

Panel Clamping:

Solar panels are secured to the mounting structure using clamps, which can be customized based on panel dimensions and manufacturer specifications.

–

Tilt Angle:

Ground mount systems often allow for adjustable tilt angles, enabling optimization for solar energy capture based on the sun’s path.

–

Wind and Snow Loads:

The system’s design must consider local wind and snow load conditions to ensure structural integrity.

–

Material Specifications:

Mounting structures can be made from materials like 6082-T6 aluminum or galvanized steel, often with corrosion-resistant coatings like anodization or hot-dip galvanization.

–

Panel Orientation:

Ground mount systems can be configured for either portrait or landscape panel orientation, depending on the specific site and project needs.

–

Design Codes:

Ground mount systems are designed and manufactured according to relevant standards and codes, such as Eurocodes and local building codes.

Additional Considerations:

–

Terrain:

Ground mounts can be adapted to various terrains, including flat, sloped, or uneven ground. 

–

Accessibility:

The design should allow for easy access to the panels for maintenance and cleaning. 

–

Cost:

Ground mount systems can be more cost-effective than other mounting options, particularly for large-scale solar installations. 

–

Environmental Impact:

Ground mounts can be designed to minimize environmental impact, such as by allowing vegetation growth underneath the panels.
