In the photovoltaic system project, we often need to use the mounting system to assist the installation of photovoltaic panels and daily use, then what is the photovoltaic mounts? So what is a PV mount? What are the main roles and types of PV mounts?
This article will take you from the function of photovoltaic mount, materials, types, installation methods and other aspects of in-depth understanding of photovoltaic mount!

1. What is a PV mount?
PV mounts are important components to fix and support solar panel so that the panels are in contact with sunlighcus assisting solar power generation.
2. What materials are used to make PV mounts?
The common materials for PV mounts are stainless steel, aluminum alloy, carbon steel and so on. In order to adapt to the complex and changing outdoor weather conditions and to ensure the safety and stability of the solar panels, different thicknesses and materials can be customized according to the use of the environment. Usually, PV mounts have good corrosion resistance, typhoon resistance, blizzard resistance and other properties. The main components of PV mounts are: rails, clamps, screws, tripods and so on.
3. There are different types of photovoltaic mounts, which are divided into two categories: roof mounting and ground mounting.
When solar panels are installed on the roof, the panels need to be fixed to the roof tiles with sliding rails and other accessories to make full use of the roof space for solar power generation. It is commonly used in common household projects and some industrial area PV projects.
When the solar panels are installed on a flat concrete surface, or in remote non-residential areas with large open spaces, they need to be installed on the ground. In this case, the PV mounts need to be fixed to the ground with the help of ballast materials such as concrete piers. If the soil is soft it needs to be fixed with the help of piling.
LESSO offers different ballast programs for customers to choose from. The ballast solution adopts the pre-installation mode, the standardized production can greatly reduce the installation labor cost, the ballast solution is also divided into north-south and east-west oriented installation.
4. How to customize PV mounts?
In most cases, PV mounts need to be customized according to the customer's usage environment to achieve the optimal fixing and auxiliary power generation effect. Customization usually requires the collection of the following information to finalize the mounting solution and design plans.
PV bracket plan need info as follows:
1. Roof or ground material
2. Roof beam material, beam spacing
3. Country, city and angle of installation
4. The length and width of the site
5. Local wind speed
6. Photovoltaic panel size
7. Snow Load N/m²
When the photovoltaic mounting manufacturer collects the above information, it can immediately draw the design drawings and customize a set of optimal mounting project plan to the customer.
As shown below, when the customer receives the goods can be installed and fixed according to the design drawings. If you are still troubled by the photovoltaic bracket, welcome to leave a message and contact us to consult, our experts will give you the optimal program within 24 hours.
