Photovoltaic bracket

Photovoltaic brackets are special brackets used in photovoltaic power stations to install, place, carry, fix and adjust photovoltaic modules. Together with photovoltaic modules, combiner boxes, inverters and other core equipment, they constitute a photovoltaic power generation system. As an important support structure for carrying photovoltaic modules, the safety and ease of installation of photovoltaic brackets are core requirements. The performance of photovoltaic brackets has an important impact on the power generation efficiency, investment income, and maintenance costs of photovoltaic power stations.

According to different application scenarios, there are different types of photovoltaic brackets:

Roof mounting bracket: Install photovoltaic modules on the roof of the house. They are usually made of aluminum alloy and are lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Depending on the type of roof, it can be divided into two types: sloped roof brackets and flat roof brackets.
Ground mounting bracket: Install photovoltaic modules on the ground, usually in the form of fixed brackets and tracking brackets. The fixed bracket directly places the solar photovoltaic modules towards low latitudes (at a certain angle with the ground) to form a solar photovoltaic array in series and parallel connection. The tracking bracket can automatically track the direction of sunlight according to the movement of the sun to obtain higher power generation efficiency.
Water surface mounting bracket: Install photovoltaic modules on the water surface, and the tilt angle of the photovoltaic modules can be adjusted according to the buoyancy on the water surface to obtain higher lighting effects.
Wall mounting bracket: Installing photovoltaic modules on the wall of a building can use the space on the wall to generate electricity.
In addition, the calculation of photovoltaic brackets involves parameters such as bracket length, height and stability. The calculation formula for the bracket length is: bracket length = photovoltaic panel width + 2 × gap, where the gap is generally about 10cm. The height of the bracket depends on the type of photovoltaic panels used and the installation method. The specific calculation formula is: bracket height = photovoltaic panel height + ground clearance (or roof clearance).

In short, the photovoltaic bracket is an important part of the photovoltaic power station, and its performance and selection have an important impact on the overall performance and economic benefits of the photovoltaic power station. When selecting and designing photovoltaic brackets, factors such as its application scenarios, load-bearing capacity, and safety need to be fully considered.
