What are Solar structures?

Solar-powered panels need solar panels and some structures to mount them. These structures are called Solar mounting structures. 

Solar mounting structures hold your solar panels in their right place. They keep your panels facing the sun and also help in securing it against the wind and the rain. Additionally, these structures keep your panels away from the shade and damage, and hence protect it along the way. 

Types of Solar Structures: 

  • There are different types of Solar structures that are available. 
  • Ground mount structure 
  • Roof top Solar mounting structure 
  • Carport mount structure 
  • Industrial mounting structure 

Let’s understand Ground mount structure in an easy way. 

Ground mount structure (GMS) 

A solar ground mounting structure is used to install solar panels directly on the ground instead of mounting them on top of a roof. They are designed to hold and place solar panels in the optimal location and right direction that ensures proper sunlight reception. 

Types of mounting structures in Ground mount structure: 

Standard fixed tilt: These are mounted on a rack and remain fixed at the same angle that is set for them. These are suitable for most geographical locations. 

Tracking systems: This structure makes it possible for the panels to follow the sun for better efficiency and optimal output. 

Single-Axis Trackers: Panels can follow the sun as they move across the sky with the help of a tracking system to increase electricity generation by 15%-25%. 

Double-Axis Trackers: In double-axis trackers, panels daily follow the sun’s path over the changing seasons to ensure its optimal functioning and output. 

Almost all of these frames are constructed using galvanized steel or aluminum, allowing them to sustain all types of weather and hence it ensures high durability for many years.

The PEB Construction Process and Installation

  With the components fabricated, painted, and ready, they are systematically packed and shipped to the construction site. This phase demonstrates the true speed and efficiency of the PEB system. Step 1: Foundation and Anchor Bolts While the  peb manufacturing  is underway in the factory, the site preparation and foundation work, including the installation of anchor bolts, occur simultaneously at the construction site. This parallel process drastically cuts down the overall project timeline. Step 2: Erection and PEB Installation This is the fastest part of the journey. The PEB construction process is essentially a giant assembly job. Primary Framing Erection: Using cranes, the pre-fabricated columns and rafters are bolted together. Because every piece is perfectly manufactured to fit, the erection crew can move quickly. Secondary Members: Purlins (for the roof) and girts (for the walls) are bolted onto the primary frame. These members provide support for the cladding and ...

What are the models for implementation of Rooftop PV systems?

  CAPEX Model: Here, the system is owned by the consumer himself and he bears the cost of the system.  RESCO Model: Here, the entire system is owned by the 3 rd party project developer. The consumer only purchases the generated energy by paying pre-decided tariff on a monthly basis as per Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Responsibility of O&M for the system lifetime (25 years) is also with the developer.
