There are four types of structures available
- Solar Rooftop
- Ground Mounted
- Sheet Mounted
- Aluminium Structures
Solar Rooftop
- A rooftop solar power system, or rooftop PV system, is a photovoltaic (PV) system that has its electricity-generating
solar panels mounted on the rooftop of a residential or commercial building or structure.[1] The various components of such a system include photovoltaic modules,
mounting systems, cables, solar inverters and other electrical accessories. - Rooftop mounted systems are small compared to utility-scale solar ground-mounted photovoltaic power stations with capacities in the megawatt range,
hence being a form of distributed generation. Most rooftop PV stations in developed countries are Grid-connected photovoltaic power systems. Rooftop
PV systems on residential buildings typically feature a capacity of about 5 to 20 kilowatts (kW), while those mounted on commercial buildings often reach 100 kilowatts to 1 Megawatt (MW).
Very large roofs can house industrial scale PV systems in the range of 1-10 Megawatts.
Ground Mounted
- Ground-mounted PV systems are usually large, utility-scale photovoltaic power stations. The PV array consist of solar
modules held in place by racks or frames that are attached to ground-based mounting supports.
Ground-based mounting supports include:
- Pole mounts, which are driven directly into the ground or embedded in concrete.
- Foundation mounts, such as concrete slabs or poured footings
Ballasted footing mounts, such as concrete or steel bases that use weight to secure the solar module system in position and do not require ground penetration. - This type of mounting system is well suited for sites where excavation is not possible such as capped landfills and simplifies decommissioning or relocation of solar module systems.
