The solar pole-mounted mounting system fixes solar panels on one or more vertical poles.Poles are fixed by pouring concrete around them or burying them into the ground.Pole mounts can be installed anywhere in the yard that gets plenty of sunlight, unlike roof-mounted brackets, there are no issues like roof orientation or weight restrictions.This method is applicable to many residences where the roofs are not very suitable for installing solar panels.
Two Main Types There are two types of pole-mounted MTD systems, namely "top MTD" and "side MTD".The system installed on the top of the pole has solar panels with safety features, and usually, the number of solar panels that can be placed ranges from 1 to 6.This method can be used alone to provide power supply for applications such as remote monitoring devices and agricultural water pumps.Side-mt installation secures the panel to the side of a utility pole, and usually 1 to 4 small panels can be placed.This kind of setup is commonly seen in solar street lights or traffic signs, this kind of setup often appears in solar street lights or traffic signs.More than six solar panels need to be installed, think about a single-pole large system or a multi-pole structure.
Why Choose Pole-Mounted Mounting Systems The pole-mounted system has certain advantages because its exposure to sunlight is relatively good.Install the panel at a high place, avoiding shading from trees and buildings.Add a seasonal perspective so that the panel faces the sun.To increase power generation, install single-axis or dual-axis trackers, let the panels follow the sun's movement, and power generation can increase by more than 40% and even more.If you install the panel higher, the ventilation situation will change, heat will dissipate faster in summer, and the efficiency can also become higher.The area below the polar region can be used for parking or growing crops, so as to prevent the land from being wasted in vain.
Materials and Corrosion Protection Requirements The key criteria for the length and material quality of the outdoor support columns.The type of column used is hot-dip galvanized steel pipe, and cold galvanized steel pipe (Sch 40/80) can also be used, and the galvanized layer can provide rust protection for 20 to 30 years.Guide rail installation usually uses 6005 series aluminum alloy. Bolts and nuts should be made of 304 or 316 stainless steel.In nearshore areas or near industrial areas, since 316 stainless steel has relatively good corrosion resistance, 316 stainless steel is recommended (Near coast or industrial area).Cheap electrogalvanized products that are used outdoors rust relatively quickly, so do not use them.
Key Installation Points Staff in the professional field come to install the bracket.First choose the location then dig a hole, the depth of the hole is usually one-third of the height of the post.Lay crushed stone at the bottom of the pit for drainage, then erect pillars vertically, and finally pour concrete to fix them.Concrete takes at least twenty-four hours to reach a solidified state.After the installation is complete, leave enough space around the system, for subsequent cleaning of the panel and inspection of the wiring.If the place where you are is where typhoons often hit, ask engineers to check the windproof conditions of buildings and so on; when necessary, make the columns wider or dig the foundations deeper.
