Concrete Foundation VS. Ground Screw Installation Dec 14, 2023

Solar ground mounting brackets are a solution for mounting solar panels on the ground for large-scale solar power generation. Concrete and ground screw are commonly used solar racking ground mounts, and they have a number of different characteristics and application scenarios. Below is a comparison between concrete and ground screw mounting:

Concrete Installation:

1.Working Principle: Concrete mounting is a method of fixing solar racking by pouring a concrete foundation on the ground or on the building structure.

2. Advantages:

Strong and Firm: Concrete foundations provide stable support that can withstand a variety of weather conditions and external impacts. The solar concrete ground mounting bracket reduces its risk of wind exposure in areas of strong winds by penetrating deep into the ground. The solidity of the concrete foundation effectively resists the pressure of wind on the solar modules, increasing the safety and stability of the system.

Wide applicability: solar concrete ground mounting bracket can be customized and designed according to the requirements of specific projects to adapt to different terrain and site conditions. It is suitable for various terrains and ground materials, such as soil, sand and stone ground.

High durability: Concrete foundations have a long service life, which reduces the need for maintenance and replacement, and can provide a long-term stable installation for solar racking.

Solar Ground Screw Installation

Ground Screw Installation:

1. Working Principle: Ground Screw Installation is a method of fixing the metal screw through the base of the solar rack and then fixing the bolts to the ground or building structure.

2.Advantages:

Installation Flexibility: Ground Screw installations are usually more flexible and can be adjusted and moved as needed.

Easy maintenance: the bolt fixing method makes the maintenance of the solar racking more convenient.

Relocatability: Solar ground screw mounting brackets can be disassembled and moved with relative ease. Ground bolt mounts do not cause permanent changes to the building, making them suitable for rental housing or sites that need to be relocated frequently.

The choice of concrete or ground screw installation should be based on a combination of the following factors:

· Ground Condition: If ground conditions are suitable for a poured concrete foundation, concrete installation is a good choice.

· Moving Needs: If there is a need to flexibly adjust or move the position of the solar racking, ground screw mounting is more appropriate.

· Property Restrictions: Certain property regulations may have restrictions on how solar energy can be installed and need to be followed.

The best choice should be determined on a case-by-case basis, including geographic location, budget, building structure, and individual needs. it is recommended to consult with a professional solar installation company to make a decision based on their experience and expertise. POWERACK offers ground mounting system in both concrete and ground screw options, feel free to inquire.
