Photovoltaic bracket purlin connection method

What is a purlin through hole clamp?

Bottom access, Purlin Through Hole clamps are Type 304 Stainless steel for higher strength and durability. The clamp allows for direct PV module mounting to purlins and other structural members. The patented pre-assembled clamps eliminate handling small parts on the job site and provide for a faster installation.

What is solar panel support with Z profiles and purlins brackets?

Solar power systems use the sun’s rays as a high-temperature energy sources to produce electricity in a thermodynamic cycle. Thereby we have to introduce some solar panel support with Z profiles and purlins brackets, which are hot galvanized steel material for use in long time with better surface and the best cost during the system construction.

What rack configurations are used in photovoltaic plants?

The most used rack configurations in photovoltaic plants are the 2 V × 12 configuration (2 vertically modules in each row and 12 modules per row) and the 3 V × 8 configuration (3 vertically consecutive modules in each row and 8 modules per row). Codes and standards have been used for the structural analysis of these rack configurations.

What is the tilt angle of a photovoltaic support system?

The comparison of the mode shapes of tracking photovoltaic support system measured by the FM and simulated by the FE (tilt angle = 30°). The modal test results indicated that the natural vibration frequencies of the structure remains relatively constant as the tilt angle increases.

What are the mechanical properties of a tracking photovoltaic support system?

In terms of the mechanical properties of the actual components of the tracking photovoltaic support system, the bar element and shell element were used to simulate different components: beam elements were mainly used to simulate the axis bar, photovoltaic support purlins and pillars. Shell elements were used to simulate the photovoltaic panel.

How many pillars does a photovoltaic support system have?

The tracking photovoltaic support system consisted of 10 pillars (including 1 drive pillar), one axis bar, 11 shaft rods, 52 photovoltaic panels, 54 photovoltaic support purlins, driving devices and 9 sliding bearings, and also includes the connection between the frame and its axis bar. Total length was 60.49 m, as shown in Fig. 8.
