The production process and applications of fixed photovoltaic brackets
Fixed photovoltaic brackets are supports that allow photovoltaic arrays to receive solar radiation at a fixed angle. When designing fixed photovoltaic brackets, various factors such as the local geographic location, environment, climate, and other conditions must be considered to position the bracket at an angle that maximizes sunlight exposure. Once determined, the position of the bracket typically does not change frequently.
From a structural perspective, fixed brackets mainly consist of columns, main beams, purlins, welded components, etc. The main production process of fixed brackets includes mechanical design, machining, and galvanizing.
Mechanical Design: This involves selecting suitable metal materials based on the terrain and environmental conditions of the project site. The main structure of the photovoltaic bracket is precisely designed to ensure the system has good stability, enabling it to operate smoothly in harsh natural environments for over 25 years, ensuring the normal operation of the photovoltaic power plant. Well-designed photovoltaic brackets should have excellent wind resistance, snow load resistance, and corrosion resistance. The design needs to balance product quality with cost to meet customer needs at a lower cost.
Machining: Depending on the main components of the bracket structure, machining is divided into column processing, main beam processing, purlin processing, and welding component processing.
Galvanizing: After machining, the semi-finished products are galvanized to enhance their durability and corrosion resistance.
Applications of Fixed Photovoltaic Brackets:
Due to their simple structure and low cost, fixed brackets are widely used in various photovoltaic systems. They are particularly advantageous in the following scenarios:
Rooftop Photovoltaic Systems: Given the limited space and load-bearing capacity of rooftops, fixed brackets are more suitable for installation on rooftops. By designing the bracket structure and layout effectively, rooftop space can be fully utilized to improve the photovoltaic system’s energy generation efficiency.
Ground-mounted Photovoltaic Power Plants: In open ground areas, fixed brackets are also suitable for photovoltaic power plants because the foundation can bear more weight and wind speed is typically lower. Fixed brackets can meet the system’s stability and safety requirements. Furthermore, through proper layout and optimized design, the energy generation efficiency and economic benefits of the photovoltaic power plant can be further enhanced.
