Photovoltaic Racking Applications
Photovoltaic racking is a type of racking system designed for the placement, mounting and securing of solar panels. They are usually made of aluminium alloy, carbon steel or stainless steel and feature no welding, no drilling, 100% adjustable and 100% reusable1.
Photovoltaic racking has a wide range of applications, including the following:
. Wide plains and desert areas:
These areas have a vast land area and are suitable for large-scale laying of PV modules, such as the large-scale ground-mounted PV power plants in the northwestern region of China2.
. Industrial and commercial roofs:
Roof space of factories, warehouses, commercial buildings, etc., can provide part of the electricity for enterprises and reduce energy costs23.
. Residential roofs:
More and more households are choosing to install PV systems on their own roofs to meet their household electricity needs23.
. Public facilities:
Such as schools, hospitals, stations, etc., installing PV systems can reduce operating costs and enhance the green image3 .
. Agricultural field:
Agriculture and light complementary mode, PV mounts and agricultural production are combined to achieve double use of land34.
. Remote areas:
Off-grid PV systems can provide independent power supply and adapt to different installation environments3 .
. Urban planning:
PV racking and building integration (BIPV) technology meets the aesthetic needs of buildings and improves energy efficiency4 .
The types of PV mounts mainly include fixed mounts and tracking mounts. Fixed mounts require precise calculation of the inclination angle based on the local latitude and solar altitude for efficient sunlight absorption. Tracking mounts
