Product Description
Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel Fixed Tilt Solar Mounting Systems
Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel Fixed Tilt Solar Mounting Systems is a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant mounting solution designed for high-density solar installations. Featuring a dual-row design, this system maximizes land efficiency by supporting two rows of solar panels on a single racking structure. Built with hot-dipped galvanized steel, it delivers unmatched durability in harsh environments while simplifying installation for utility-scale solar farms, commercial projects, and industrial applications.

Product Advantages
Superior Durability
Hot-dipped galvanized coating ensures resistance to rust, UV rays, and extreme weather (saltwater, humidity, industrial pollutants).
High-Density Design
Dual-row configuration optimizes land use, reducing installation footprint by 30% compared to single-row systems.
Robust Stability
Reinforced steel frames and cross-bracing withstand high wind/snow loads.
Easy Installation
Pre-assembled modular components with bolt-on clamps; compatible with manual or mechanized installation.
Low Maintenance & Scalable
Galvanized coating eliminates need for repainting; modular design allows easy expansion of solar arrays.
Cost-Effective
Reduced labor and land costs due to high-density layout and quick assembly.
Installation & Maintenance
Installation Steps:
Site Preparation: Level ground and mark pile/ballast locations based on row spacing.
Secure Foundations: Install ground screws or concrete ballast blocks.
Assemble Racking: Bolt vertical supports and cross-beams; align dual rows.
Mount Panels: Attach panels to rails using corrosion-resistant clamps.
Final Adjustments: Set tilt angle and row spacing to minimize shading.
Maintenance Tips:
Inspect galvanized coating annually for scratches (repair with zinc-rich spray if needed).
Clear debris/snow accumulation between rows to maintain airflow and efficiency.
Tighten bolts after the first year and following extreme weather events.


Applications
Utility-Scale Solar Farms: Maximize energy output per acre with dual-row efficiency.
Commercial/Industrial Sites: Ideal for parking lot canopies or unused land.
Agricultural Solar: Elevate panels to allow farming or grazing beneath the array.
Temporary Installations: Easily disassembled for relocatable projects.
Harsh Environments: Perfect for coastal regions, deserts, or high-snow areas.

FAQ
1. What are the advantages of fixed tilt systems over solar trackers?
Fixed tilt systems are simpler, cheaper to install, and require minimal maintenance compared to tracking systems. While they don't follow the sun's movement, they offer reliable energy production with a lower upfront cost and no moving parts, reducing long-term operational risks.
2. How do I determine the optimal tilt angle for my location?
The ideal tilt angle depends on your geographic latitude and seasonal sun position. A common rule is to set the tilt equal to the site's latitude for year-round efficiency. For seasonal optimization, adjust ±15° (steeper in winter, flatter in summer). Software tools like PVWatts can refine calculations based on local weather data.
3. Can fixed tilt systems be installed on uneven or sloped terrain?
Yes! Fixed tilt mounts are adaptable to slopes using adjustable legs or ground screws. They're ideal for both flat and uneven land, with options like terrain-following designs to minimize site preparation costs.
4. What maintenance is required for fixed tilt systems?
Maintenance is minimal:
Annual inspections for loose bolts or corrosion.
Clean panels periodically to remove dust, snow, or debris.
Check foundations (e.g., ground screws, ballast) for stability after extreme weather.
5. Are fixed tilt systems compatible with all solar panel types and sizes?
Yes, fixed tilt racks support most framed solar panels (mono/polycrystalline, bifacial, or thin-film). Ensure the system's load capacity matches panel dimensions/weight (typically up to 2.5m x 1.3m panels). Custom rails or clamps may be needed for frameless panels.
