The solar mount is called the "skeleton" of the solar power station, which is a special structure designed and installed in the solar power generation system to support, fix and rotate the solar modules.
The solar mount accounts for 10%-20% of the system cost, and its technical level and performance directly affect the power generation efficiency and investment income of the solar power station.
The solar mount is located in the middle of the solar industry chain, and forms the core of solar energy with solar modules, inverters, combiner boxes, cables, etc. The upstream is steel and other metal materials and electromechanical components, and the downstream is the solar power station.
The commonly used materials for solar mounts are mainly aluminum alloy, stainless steel, galvanized steel, etc. Aluminum alloy is generally used in civil buildings, and galvanized steel is the most widely used at present, mainly using galvanized steel as the main material.
Generally speaking, downstream customers are investment owners or general contractors of power plants, and generally establish long-term and stable cooperative relations.
The market demand for solar mounts depends on the newly installed capacity of the solar power generation market. At present, fixed brackets occupy most of the market share due to stability and low up-front investment costs, but the application of solar tracking brackets is expected to become more and more popular.
At present, the domestic proportion of the tracking bracket industry is only about 10%, which is far lower than the main link of solar energy. In addition, the threshold for tracking stents is high, and the pattern is relatively concentrated compared with the stent industry. The leading technology and cost advantages are significant, and the industry concentration is expected to be further improved.
The solar mount needs to be combined with the topography, climate and solar resource conditions of the construction site, and properly arrange the orientation and spacing of the solar modules, so that the solar power station can achieve the best power generation efficiency.
From the perspective of the production process of the bracket, the fixed bracket needs to consider the two aspects of address and land reuse. The tracking bracket needs to be highly customized, and it must also meet the standards and specifications of construction, machinery, electricity, etc., and additional electricity needs to be added. Control design and drive design are two links, and electrical specifications and software design need to be considered in the design.
The solar energy industry is still in a period of rapid development, and as special equipment in solar power generation systems, solar mounts will continue to grow in the future.
Solar mounting does not seem to be an industry with high technical content, but stability is particularly important. Once there is a problem with the mounting, the loss to the solar power plant is particularly obvious compared with other links. There are still many thresholds for tracking brackets, such as wind tunnel testing, control, algorithms and applications.
With building-integrated solar power (BIPV), solar mounts are also evolving.
The stent has a long life cycle, and the transportation cost accounts for 4-5% of the product price, which has obvious regional characteristics.
The consideration of tracking brackets and fixed brackets mainly depends on the benefits. At present, the domestic penetration rate of tracking stents is much lower than that in Europe and the United States. When purchasing downstream, it often requires the endorsement of past successful projects, and the industry concentration will continue to increase.
solar mounts are mainly composed of columns, main beams, purlins, welding parts, foundations, etc. According to whether the angle can be freely adjusted in the later stage, they are divided into solar fixed brackets and solar tracking brackets. The adjustable tracking bracket has more rotation system, driving system and control system than the fixed bracket. In the development, the solar tracking bracket has developed a plane single axis, a tilted single axis and a double axis.
