Photovoltaic brackets are an important component of photovoltaic power generation systems, designed specifically to support, install, and secure solar panels.
1, Classification
According to different application environments and installation requirements, photovoltaic brackets can be divided into various types:
1. Fixed bracket: Strong stability, suitable for situations that do not require frequent adjustments. After its position is fixed, it is generally not frequently adjusted, and the design needs to comprehensively consider multiple factors such as geographical location, surrounding environment, and climate. According to the usage scenario, fixed photovoltaic brackets are divided into roof types (including color steel plate roofs, sloping roofs, flat roofs, etc.), ground types (single column, double column, etc.), and water surface types (floating, column, etc.).
2. Adjustable tilt bracket: Similar in structure to a fixed bracket, but with an additional adjustment mechanism, the tilt angle can be manually adjusted flexibly. By regularly adjusting the tilt angle of the bracket, the turning point of the solar incidence angle can be adjusted with seasonal or periodic changes, thereby increasing the absorption of direct sunlight and improving the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic modules.
3. Automatic tracking bracket: It achieves all-weather automatic tracking of the sun through an intelligent control system, maximizing the utilization of solar energy. Tracking brackets are mainly divided into flat single axis tracking brackets, oblique single axis tracking brackets, and dual axis tracking brackets. The photovoltaic power generation system established using a tracking bracket can automatically adjust the orientation of its components according to the lighting conditions, reducing the angle between the components and direct sunlight. This can typically increase power generation by 10% to 25% or even more.
4. Flexible bracket: A large-span photovoltaic module support structure with fixed ends, the core of which is a prestressed flexible cable structure. This structural system covers multiple key parts such as cable structure, support system, damping system, and anchor system. The design of flexible supports enables photovoltaic modules to be raised above the ground by a certain height, achieving the advantage of high clearance and reducing the number of pile foundations. Especially suitable for large-span application scenarios such as ordinary mountains, barren slopes, water pools, fishing ponds, and forests.
2, Component Parts
The photovoltaic bracket mainly consists of the following components:
1. Column: Supports the entire support system, usually fixed on the foundation.
2. Beam: Connect the columns to support the photovoltaic modules.
3. slant support: enhance the stability of the support to prevent tilting and deformation.
4. Connectors: including bolts, nuts, etc., used to fix various components of the bracket.
3, Functional Features
1. Support and fixation: Ensure the stable installation of photovoltaic modules, resisting external forces such as wind and snow.
2. Optimize orientation and tilt angle: Adjust component orientation and tilt angle to maximize solar radiation reception.
3. Extend system lifespan: By rational design, reduce component wear and damage.
4. Adapt to various environments: Whether it is on the roof, floor, or water surface, suitable photovoltaic bracket solutions can be found.
4, Material selection
The material selection of photovoltaic brackets needs to consider factors such as weather resistance, load-bearing capacity, corrosion resistance, and economy. Common materials include hot-dip galvanized steel, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel.
