MOUNTING STRUCTURES
Rooftop Mounting Structures
Rooftop solar power generation has been gaining a lot of importance in India primarily to gain independence from the power grid, backed by range of government incentives. Roof top can be flat RCC or sloppy with a roofing system. Rooftops provide the opportunity to turn unused space into an energy-producing, cost-cutting asset. Earlier considered expensive due to high investment cost in drilling, pilling, which not only damages the roof instead water seepage also becomes a big problem.
There are now new flat roof mounting systems to drive down the costs of solar PV and to avoid seepage problems. These features integrated with roof protection pads, captured ballast, pre-assembled bolts, built-in wire management pathways, and other roof integrity and installation enhancement functions that drive down cost and increase durability up to 25 years. They also consist of design engineering considerations which includes seismic behavior analysis, boundary layer wind tunnel testing, and UL 2703 certification for grounding and bonding.
Fixed ground mounting and sun trackers
Accelerating solar tracking development in the rapidly growing market, there are new globally accepted products that work to revolutionize solar tracking with unrivaled flexibility and efficiency, yielding to higher power generation, while offering measurable reductions in the total costs. These new solar trackers systems direct solar panels toward the sun, changing their orientation according to the sun throughout the day to follow the sun’ s path. This maximizes energy capture by 15- 20 %. The system is designed with robust mechanical technology with bestof-breed project intelligence technology to deliver superior energy production and long-term ROI for tracker projects anywhere in the world.
Structural integrity is of paramount importance. Just like any other component of a building, solar systems must be structurally sound and secure. Numerous problems can result if systems are of low quality or poorly installed. The solar industry is committed to bring remarkable products and systems to the Indian and global markets to enhance solar development across the world. The entry of innovative technologies and products in the sector is paving the way for a cleaner and greener future.
Car ports
Most of the place are restricted to provide required space to install solar panels due to several obstacles or being used for other purposes. Area where cars are parked can well be utilized when such obstacles are seen. The top floor of the car parks are perfectly placed for making the most of the sun’ s free energy, with options to optimise the angles of the solar panels on the surface thus delivering dual benefits. GIPL Solar( India) deals in high grade PV mounting structures for commercial and residential premises for rooftop, ground based, single axis tracking and carports.
