Ground Mounting Structures

Ground Mounting structures are used when solar panels need to be installed on the ground, generally without the need for useable space under the structure. These types of solar panel mounting systems are ideal for maximising yield, as they allow flexibility in panel placement, making them ideal for installations where the orientation and tilt of the panels need to comply with a specification. Axe Struct offers ground mount solutions only in fixed tilt. Adjustable ground mounting structures can be tilted to optimise the solar panel’s angle based on the location and time of the year. These adjustable structures are for very small systems.

Roof Mounting Structures

Roof mounting structures are used when solar panels need to be installed on the roof of a building. These types of solar panel mounting systems are ideal for residential and commercial buildings. Roof-mounted solar panels are a popular choice if roof space is available, considering the proximity to the electrical connection.

Floating Mounting Structures

Floating mounting structures are solar panel mounting systems used when solar panels must be installed on water bodies such as lakes, reservoirs, and ponds. This type of structure consists of a buoyant platform anchored to the bottom of the water body, and the solar panels are mounted on top of the platform.

Floating mounting systems are typically made of high-density polyethene (HDPE) and Aluminium, and they are ideal for water bodies used for hydroelectric power or irrigation.

Carport Mounting Structures

Carport mounting structures are used when solar panels need to be installed in a parking lot or garage for the coverage of vehicles. These systems can also be used as coverage for storage and animal shelters.

There are several factors to consider, such as aesthetics and environmental corrosivity.
