Solar PV racking is mainly used to mount solar panels in order to secure them to the roof or ground. Depending on the mounting location, there are several common types of solar PV mounts as follows:
Roof Solar Mounting System: Rooftop racking is typically installed on the roof of a house to support and secure solar panels. Common roof PV mounts include:
l Pitched Roof Racking: For solar panels mounted on a pitched roof. This type of bracket usually has the function of adjusting the angle, which can be adjusted according to the position of the sun and the season to get the best solar energy absorption.
l Flat Roof Solar Racking: For solar panels mounted on flat roofs. This type of mount generally has a fixed angle so that the solar panels can face the sun and provide maximum energy yield.
Ground Mounting System: Ground-mounted PV racking is used to mount solar panels on open ground. These mounts generally require greater support capacity and stability to cope with the unevenness of the ground and various meteorological conditions. Common ground-mounted mounts include:
l Fixed mount: This type of mount is usually fixed to the ground to keep the solar panels at a fixed angle. Fixed mounts are suitable for ground that is flat and does not have too much shadow cover.
l Single axis tracking mounts: These mounts allow solar panels to track the movement of the sun along a single axis to increase energy yield. It is usually controlled using an electric motor or hydraulic system. Single-axis tracking mounts are suitable for applications that require all-weather solar tracking.
l Dual Axis Tracking Mounts: These mounts enable solar panels to track the movement of the sun on two axes, providing higher energy yield. Dual-axis tracking mounts are suitable for applications where solar absorption needs to be maximized, but they are also more costly and complex.
These are common types of solar pv mounting, the specific choice depends on the installation location, cost, energy efficiency requirements and available space, etc. POWERACK mainly does fixed mounting and has many years of experience.Both roof and ground mounting system are designed,customers are welcome to inquire.
