Ground Mounting Structure

Foundation
● Concrete Ballast: This is a common and cost-effective option for ground-mounted systems. Pre-cast concrete blocks are reasonably placed to provide stability. Considerations include soil type and wind loads to determine the size and placement of the blocks.
● Ground Screws: These are steel anchors screwed directly into the ground, offering a quicker and less invasive installation compared to concrete. They are ideal for areas with challenging soil conditions or where excavation is restricted.
● Driven Piles: Used in large-scale projects or areas with unstable soil, these are steel or concrete columns driven deep into the ground for maximum stability.

Support Structure
● Fixed-Tilt Structures: Offer a simple and economical design where the tilt angle is fixed during installation. The angle is determined based on the latitude and desired energy output.
● Single-Axis Trackers: These structures allow the panels to rotate on a single axis, following the sun's path from east to west throughout the day, resulting in increased energy production compared to fixed-tilt systems.
● Dual-Axis Trackers: Offering the highest energy output potential, these structures track the sun on both the east-west and north-south axes, ensuring optimal sunlight capture throughout the year.

Mounting Rails
Aluminum rails are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, while galvanized steel offers higher strength but may be susceptible to rust in certain environments. Various rail profiles are available, each providing advantages depending on the panel type and wind load requirements.

Module Clamps
End clamps secure the edges of the panels, while mid clamps secure the panels in between. The number and type of clamps used depend on the panel size and wind load. Clamps are typically made of aluminum or stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance, with different designs offering varying levels of adjustability for optimizing panel angle.
