Application Characteristics of Four Photovoltaic Mounting System Design Solutions

A photovoltaic mounting system refers to a supporting structure, typically made of steel, aluminum alloy, or a combination of both, that secures photovoltaic modules in a specific orientation, arrangement, and spacing. It is designed based on the geographical, climatic, and solar resource conditions of the construction site to maximize the power output of the entire photovoltaic power generation system.

1. Pitched Roof Photovoltaic System
Characteristics of the pitched roof photovoltaic mounting system:

• Suitable for tile roofs of varying thicknesses with adjustable heights and flexible components.
• Multi-hole design in components such as connecting plates allows for flexible and effective adjustment of the mounting position.
• Does not compromise the roof's inherent waterproofing system.

2. Flat Roof Photovoltaic System
Common flat roof types include: concrete flat roofs, color steel plate flat roofs, steel structure flat roofs, and spherical joint roofs.
Characteristics of the flat roof photovoltaic mounting system:

• Enables large-scale, orderly installation.
• Offers multiple stable and reliable foundation connection methods.

3. Large-Scale Ground-Mounted Photovoltaic System
Large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic systems typically employ concrete strip (or block) foundations (special ground conditions require consultation with professional geotechnical design personnel).
Characteristics of the large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic mounting system:

• Facilitates rapid installation to align with the construction schedule of large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic power plants.
• Provides flexible and versatile adjustment methods to meet the complex and variable requirements of construction sites.
• Minimizes the number of components to simplify identification and installation for on-site workers.

4. Pole-Mounted Solar Mounting System
Characteristics of the pole-mounted solar mounting system:

• Maintenance-free, highly reliable, and long-lasting.
• Fixed system with no movable parts.
• Capable of withstanding wind speeds ≥200 km/h, suitable for use in areas with high wind speeds.
