Supports for solar panels

Any "green" solar power plant requires a reliable one supports for solar panels. How to choose the optimal mounting system for photovoltaic modules? Where to place it? Read about it in this article.

Support for solar panels: what to build from

Structures under FEM are made of the following materials:

Aluminum. The material is not afraid of moisture, no it rusts, is inexpensive, has a light weight, which is important when installing on the roof. Disadvantage: high coefficient of thermal conductivity, softness of the metal. With prolonged heating in open areas begins to deform and lose strength
Stainless steel. Metal is not afraid moisture and direct contact with water, temperature changes, resistant to corrosive effects, mechanical loads. Stainless steel structures durable - serve more than 80 years. Disadvantage: high cost
Galvanized thin-walled profiles. They are not afraid moisture, temperature jumps, loads. They are inexpensive and easy to use weight Resistant to corrosion, durable (serves more than 20 years). Easy to assemble in design, do not require special mechanisms for installation.

Knowing about the properties of each material, you can choose the best option for the manufacture of fastening systems for FEM.

Where are they placed? support for solar panels

Common places for installing structures under FEM:

On the ground. If you have an empty plot of land, you can install panel mounting systems there. For this, it is necessary to find out the geological and climatic factors of the area, the topography of the site, the hardness of the soil, the presence of voids and shaky places, underwater waters. After collecting data, an engineering project is drawn up, possible risks and loads of the future structure are calculated. Only with the project in hand, you can start assembling the frames
On the roof of the building. Here you will also need a project, because the installation of the structure will add loads to the load-bearing elements of the building and the roof. The roof can be pitched or flat. Each species has its own fastening systems
On the facade of the building. Recently, this type of panel fastening is increasingly common. This is rational, since the size of the facade is much larger than the dimensions of the roof. The panels on the walls of the building perform a double function - the role of stylish cladding and the generation of solar energy
Creative placement. Modules can be installed on the roof of the canopy above the parking lot, on bridge spans, lampposts and in any other places that the imagination of designers suggests.

Where to order supports for solar panels

The LS Group company will design and manufacture mounting systems for FEMs of any complexity. There is experience in creating ground and roof structures for different number of modules. We manufacture single-support and two-support, static and dynamic systems. As a material for assembly, we use a thin-walled galvanized steel profile of our own production. We guarantee the reliability and durability of structures.
