Photovoltaic non-welded steel structure support

Which steel is best for PV mounting?

To do so, it requires a robust supporting structure made from high-quality steel with effective corrosion protection. With ZM Ecoprotect ® Solar, thyssenkrupp Steel now offering high-performance, zinc-magnesium-coated steels for PV mounting systems – durable, robust and sustainable.

How stiff is a tracking photovoltaic support system?

Because the support structure of the tracking photovoltaic support system has a long extension length and the components are D-shaped hollow steel pipes, the overall stiffness of the structure was found to be low, and the first three natural frequencies were between 2.934 and 4.921.

What makes ArcelorMittal support structures more sustainable?

n of sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal technologies. Using steel to build the support structures makes it eve more sustainable as steel is a durable and 100% recyclable material.ArcelorMittal supports the move to clean energy generation by offering high-performance steels, advanced metallic coat

What are the dynamic characteristics of photovoltaic support systems?

Key findings are as follows. Dynamic characteristics of tracking photovoltaic support systems obtained through field modal testing at various inclinations, revealing three torsional modes within the 2.9–5.0 Hz frequency range, accompanied by relatively small modal damping ratios ranging from 1.07 % to 2.99 %.

What is the best corrosion protection for solar mounting structures?

Your contacts when it comes to high-performance corrosion protection for solar mounting structures: Arne Schreiber, Product Management and Jennifer Schulz, Surface Development. ZM Ecoprotect ® Solar offers several advantages compared to pure zinc coatings.

How many pillars does a photovoltaic support system have?

The tracking photovoltaic support system consisted of 10 pillars (including 1 drive pillar), one axis bar, 11 shaft rods, 52 photovoltaic panels, 54 photovoltaic support purlins, driving devices and 9 sliding bearings, and also includes the connection between the frame and its axis bar. Total length was 60.49 m, as shown in Fig. 8.
