The windproof structural measures for metal roof photovoltaic support systems need to comprehensively consider multiple factors, as follows:
1. Material and structural design
Support material: Use weather-resistant steel (such as carbon structural steel, low-alloy high-strength structur...
1. Neglecting the load-bearing capacity of the roof
Myth: Ballasted bracket systems are held in place by weight, so the roof and building must be able to withstand this extra load. If the roof has insufficient load-bearing capacity, structural damage may result.
Caution: Before installing a ba...
The basic principle of the Flat Roof Ballasted System Racking is to mount solar panels and racking systems on flat or low-slope roofs by means of weight anchoring. At its core, it utilizes the weight of concrete blocks, rocks, or other heavy objects to press the solar modules against the roof...
Glazed tile roof: Glazed tile roof is suitable for small and medium-sized distributed PV power stations, usually using hook mounting, fixed on the roof structure (such as concrete beams or wooden beams) through stainless steel hooks, and with rails and pressure blocks to fix the PV modules. W...
Photovoltaic Racking Material Recycling Background
As PV power plants installed after 2000 gradually reach the end of their design life (typically 25 years), a wave of PV module and solar mounting material decommissioning is beginning to emerge. 2025 will see the first large-scale decomm...
The pergola photovoltaic support is a dual-function structure of "power generation + sunshade", usually made of aluminum alloy or steel. By installing photovoltaic modules on a tilted or flat-top support, a pergola-like shape is formed.
1. Power generation function
The pergola photovolt...
Types of damage that a PV module may sustain in the event of hail. Hailstones usually have a high impact force and hardness, which may cause glass breakage on the surface of the module or damage to the internal circuitry. Therefore, the design of the mount needs to have some protection to min...
The spacing between photovoltaic brackets will directly affect the power generation efficiency and construction cost of the system. So how to set the optimal spacing between solar mounting system?
Basic spacing standards
The spacing of photovoltaic brackets is usually between...
Screws, as important fasteners for PV mounting systems, play a key role in different application scenarios. Their materials, specifications and usage need to be selected according to the specific installation environment and needs.
This article focuses on analyzing the selection of screws for...
There is a close relationship between the optimal inclination angle of solar bracket and latitude, and this relationship is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Basic rules
The optimum inclination angle of a PV mount is usually related to the local geographic latitude. As th...
In high wind speed areas, the angle of diagonal bracing of PV mounts needs to be determined comprehensively according to specific design requirements, geographic conditions and wind loads. The following points can be used as reference:
Design Codes and Standards
According to the Quality...
The four major minefields of residential distributed PV mounts include water leakage, load-bearing, maintenance and recycling issues, which require special attention during actual installation and operation.
Water leakage problems
The installation of distributed PV systems ma...
