Design of mounting systems for PV solar power plants

Key requirements to consider when designing photovoltaic solar mounting systems:

1. Site Elevation and Slope: Correctly determining the site's elevation and slope is crucial for ensuring the optimal efficiency of photovoltaic solar panels. This maximizes solar energy capture throughout the day.

2. Soil Type: Soil conditions determine the choice of foundation structure and the fixation method for photovoltaic solar panel mounting systems.

3. Wind Speed and Snow Load: These are critical factors in designing photovoltaic solar mounting systems, as they create significant mechanical loads on structures and increase the risk of damage.

4. Seismic Activity: If the site is located in a seismic zone, the design must account for this factor. This may require additional safety measures, such as anchors and steel bracing.

5. Maximum Weight and Size of Panels: The weight and dimensions of photovoltaic solar panels determine the structural type and installation method. Heavier panels may require additional reinforcement and fasteners to ensure safe and stable support.

6. Maximum Capacity of Photovoltaic Solar Panels: Determining the required capacity helps identify the number and type of photovoltaic solar panels needed to generate sufficient electricity. This also dictates the optimal size and design of the mounting systems.

7. Climatic Conditions: Factors such as temperature, humidity, and precipitation affect material selection and system design. For example, high humidity requires the use of corrosion-resistant materials or additional protective coatings.

8. Local Regulations: It is crucial to adhere to local rules and regulations governing the installation of photovoltaic solar panels. For instance, restrictions on the height and size of mounting systems may apply.
