Solar Mounting System

 Solar mounting system is a structure used to support and protect solar modules, usually by zinc aluminum magnesium material U-shaped steel or C-shaped steel and support connection accessories. The main function is to fix and support the modules, so that the modules can receive the solar energy at the best Angle and height. At the same time, the structure also needs to be able to resist the influence of the natural environment, such as wind and rain, dust, hail, etc., to ensure the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic system.

 When designing and installing Solar mounting system, a variety of factors need to be considered, such as climatic conditions, terrain, installation methods, materials, and so on.  The structure needs to have high adaptability and reliability to ensure the efficiency and stability of the photovoltaic system. At the same time, the structure also needs to be easy to handle and assemble, and easy to install and maintain.

The main type is as follows:

1. Fixed structure: The installation position of this structure is fixed and cannot be moved or adjusted. It is suitable for installation in some fixed places, such as the roof, the ground, etc. The structure  can be single column type, double column type or frame type, and different structural types can be selected according to different needs.

2. Movable structure: This structure can be tracked according to the azimuth of the sun to increase power generation. It is also known as the tracking support, generally there are many types of flat single axis, oblique single axis, double axis flat single axis and so on. The movable structure is suitable for photovoltaic power plants under various environmental conditions, such as grass, water and so on.

3. Classified by material: there are many kinds of materials of solar mounting system, such as steel, aluminum alloy, stainless steel and so on. Different materials of the structure have 

different characteristics and application scenarios. For example, the price of steel is lower, but the weight is higher; Aluminum alloy is light and beautiful, but the price is higher; Stainless steel has better corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

4. Classification by shape: solar mounting structure can be divided into U type, C type, W type, Z type according to its shape. Different shapes of scaffolds have different characteristics and applicable scenarios. For example, U-shaped and C-shaped brackets are suitable for some specific installation locations, such as roofs, walls, etc. The W and Z brackets are suitable for some larger photovoltaic power plant systems.

The mounting system is an indispensable part of solar system, and its quality and performance have an important impact on the efficiency and reliability of solar system.
