Advantages of Flexible Photovoltaic Brackets
Flexible photovoltaic brackets have several advantages, including large span, multiple spans, resistance to wind-induced vibration, prevention of hidden cracks in the brackets and components, adaptability to complex terrain, increased photovoltaic power station capacity, space release under the panels, cost reduction, and shortened construction periods.
Large Span: By applying pre-tension to the cables, the structure gains initial stiffness. The pre-tension can offset the load from the upper structure, and by controlling the cable force and overall structural deformation, a large span can be achieved.
Multiple Spans: Flexible brackets can be arranged in continuous multi-span configurations based on terrain conditions, without the need for breaks in the middle. The array length can be extended, with swinging columns placed within a certain span range and supporting structures at the ends.
Wind-Induced Vibration Resistance and Prevention of Hidden Cracks: Flexible photovoltaic brackets can effectively resist wind-induced vibrations, reducing the risk of hidden cracks in the brackets and components, thus improving system stability and safety.
Adaptability to Complex Terrain: Flexible brackets have a strong environmental adaptability, especially in complex terrains such as mountainous areas, barren slopes, water pools, fish ponds, and forests. They successfully address issues faced by traditional solar bracket systems, such as large spans and poor wind resistance.
Increased Photovoltaic Power Station Capacity and Space Release Under Panels: With their high clearance and large span characteristics, flexible photovoltaic bracket systems can increase photovoltaic power station capacity by 30%-50% in different scenarios. They also fully release space under the panels, achieving the true "Photovoltaic + " advantage. This system has been widely applied in various large-scale projects such as mountain agricultural-solar complementary systems, fishery-solar complementary systems, coastal sandy land reclamation, and industrial and commercial distributed solar installations.
Cost Reduction and Shortened Construction Period: Compared to traditional rigid brackets, flexible brackets use less steel, have a lower load-bearing requirement, are cheaper, require less foundation work, and offer strong pre-installation capabilities. This significantly shortens the overall construction period.
This concludes the advantages of flexible photovoltaic brackets as introduced by Hengyuan Tai.
