Build Wind-Resistant Tracking Mounts: Tips You Need to Know!
Nov 19 , 2024

In the solar power industry, photovoltaic (PV) mounts are crucial components that support the PV modules, directly affecting power generation efficiency and system safety. To enhance the load capacity and wind resistance of tracking mounts, ensuring stable operation even under harsh weather conditions, comprehensive optimization is needed across materials, structure, and design.


1.Use High-Strength Materials


Since PV power plants are exposed to outdoor environments for long periods, tracking mounts should be made from materials capable of withstanding substantial external forces. Commonly used low-alloy high-strength structural steel maintains its integrity under significant stress, providing a robust foundation for tracking mounts. Zn-Al-Mg coated steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance self-repairing capability, effectively resists environmental damage over time, extending the lifespan of the tracking mounts. Additionally, lightweight yet strong aluminum alloy profiles can reduce the overall weight of the mount while ensuring sufficient load-bearing capacity

2.Use High-Strength Materials


Structural optimization is key to improving the wind resistance of tracking mounts. During the design process, increasing the cross-sectional dimensions of the main components can enhance stability and safety. Adding more connectors can make the assembly more secure. Where feasible, consider using welding or bolted connections for a more robust and durable structure, further increasing the stability and longevity of the tracking mount.

3.Intelligent Control


(1)Install Wind Speed Monitoring Devices: Real-time monitoring of wind speed and direction allows the system to automatically adjust the mount angle or flatten it when wind speeds reach a critical threshold, reducing wind load impact.


(2)Conduct Wind Tunnel Testing: Simulate various wind conditions to assess the structural performance of the solar tracking mount, aiding in design optimization to ensure safe power generation.

(3)Develop an Intelligent Adjustment System: Use anemometers and wind vanes for real-time wind condition monitoring, dynamically adjusting the mount angle to reduce frontal wind impact. Adaptive and predictive control algorithms can also be implemented to adjust the tracking mode based on changes in wind load.



These strategies significantly enhance the performance and safety of tracking mounts, providing strong support for the long-term, stable operation of PV power systems. With continuous technological progress and ongoing cost optimization, the smart and efficient development of tracking mounts is expected to advance further, unlocking broader prospects for the solar power industry.
