Ground mount solar racking system usually consists of metal structure, concrete base and other spare parts to fix the solar panels on a rack. It is suitable for big projects: such as commercial pv plant power stations.
According to the location, geographic and weather situations, and the target power output, ground solar mounting system can be classified with 3 kinds of systems:
- Fixed tilt system: the simplest and the most economic one. Fixed structure, fixed panels, in need of less maintenance.
- Single axis tracking system: it uses an electric motor to move the solar panels in one direction to track the sun's turning movement throughout a whole day.
- Dual-axis tracking systems: using two axes to track the sun's movement both horizontally and vertically, maximizing the PV power produce.
ALV team, with 16 years of aluminum extrusion experience and many years of providing the solution for solar ground mounting systems, so that we are holding the strong points of :
Fast and scientific designs,
Competitive price with fast delivery,
Professional consultant service.
Alv's photovoltaic panel racking system for ground projects consists of 3 parts:base, structure and clamps.
1 The base is the support for mounting system. It must hold the solar panels and withstand the strongest possible wind and snow load.
2 The structure is the rack system holding the solar panels firmly and safely at right positions and directions. This structure must be tailor made according this size of panel and the wind load, snow load, and the latitude and longitude of the project size.
3 Clamps with bolts is to fasten the solar panels on the racking system. Mid clamps and end clamp (side clamp)
The key of choosing the right solar mounting system is to consider its durability, reasonable designs to bear all the harsh weather and keep the panels exposed under direct sunlight.
1 Wide adaption: Ground mount solar racking systems can be installed on a variety of terrains, including uneven or sloping surfaces, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
2 Durability and stability: 6005 T5 anodized aluminum alloy extruded profiles ground mount solar racking systems are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including high winds and heavy snow loads.
3.Economic: Ground mount solar racking systems are often adopted the material of 6005/6063, because they are light in duty and so require less labor and materials for installation. With the development of new technology, a new material is getting popular because of its cost effective: Zinc Aluminum Magnesium Alloy.
4. Easy maintenance: Ground mount solar racking systems are typically easy to access, making them simple to maintain and repair if needed.
5 Sustainability: Introducing ground mount solar racking systems can help to reduce the environmental impact of solar energy production by avoiding the need for rooftop installation and minimizing disruption to existing structures.

Our main facilities:
Ground mount solar racking systems is an important component of the solar power plant system, which bears equipment such as solar panels and inverters, ensuring the safety and stability of the entire system, Frequently asking questions as below:
1 What materials for the grounds solar mounting system?
Mainly by 6005 T5 aluminum alloy extrusion, some by carbon steel and some by zine, magnesium and aluminum alloy.
2 What are the installation ways for solar panel?
Ground mounting, Roof racking, Rail fixation, floating system and BIPV etc.
3 What factors must be considered before the installation of Photovoltaic bracket?
Geographic location,local weather history records, Wind load, snow load, the size of weight of the Photovoltaic panel, clearing height and degree of the panel tilt etc.
4 How long does the installation span of photovoltaic brackets last?
It depends on the installation method, location, weather etc. If concrete base, the enforcement of the concrete need several days and cost rather higher labor, if piling driving quicker. General speaking, installation cycle need a number of days to a few weeks.
5 What the warranty of solar racking system on ground?
Ordinary , 15-25 yeas around subject to the brands, materials, the installation methods.
6 How much wind and snow load can the photovoltaic bracket withstand?
It depends on the materials and designed structure. Our engineers will figure out the best solution with cheapest materials by the most scientific structure subject to the local weather conditions to ensure to withstand the extra-ordinary local wind and snow load in case happened.
7 Does it need a license before installation?
Yes, mot area in need of the license from local government, Please refer to polices and regulations from the local authorities before installing a case of Photovoltaic bracket power generation system
8 What kinds of maintenance needed?
The photovoltaic system requires regular clean, check the bolts, nuts, fasteners etc. Inspection is also required after severe weather such as heavy snow or typhoons.
