Mini rail solution is the most competitive solution, and to some extend, it will reduce the installation cost. Below is one type of short rail which can make the solar panel be installed vertically, and is very popular in European solar market.

The length of the rail has 200mm, 300mm, 400mm, and it also can be customized according to the size of your roof.

If you want to save the cost, and for metal roof, you could choose short rail, and the main structures are mini rail, mid clamp and end clamp. If possible, you could offer us local wind speed and snow load, we will check for you if the structure is safe.

We also have other type of mini rail, pls see our website for finding more porducts: WWW.SIC-SOLAR.COM.

Currently, we have two sliding nuts, one is made of steel, and the other is made of aluminum, both of them are used for 40*40 rail, and easy installed, like below picture. The special feature of this product is that there is a small ball at the bottom of this product. When the nut enters the rail, the small ball will push against the bottom, making the nut push against the opening above the track.

Solar panel cleaning machine is used to clean the solar panel to make it more efficient to convert solar energy into electricity. As we known that a lot of dust and watermarks will accumulate on the surface of pv solar panel after been used for a period of time. SIC photovoltaic cleaning equipment has many styles, such as double head or single head, washing or dry-cleaning, automatic or manual.

Now, we have a new product, balcony hook, for people who want to install solar panel on their balcony.

It is not only easy to be installed, but also stable, cause it is made of stainless steel.

And if you want to make the solar panel tilt, we also could equip with related structures according to your request.

SIC solar panel ground mounting has many type, such as aluminum ground mounting structure, steel ground mounting bracket, adjustable single pole ground mount, and ground mounting with ground screw foundation or cement foundation, and the tracking ground mount frame.

Tracking ground mounting system can adjust the tilt angle when the sun change its site when the season changes. And you don't change the angle and be worried about that the solar panel cannot convert into more electricity. the tracker will look for the best angle to make the solar panel as perpendicular to the sun as possible. Single axis mounts simply track the sun from east to west.

Btw, the ground mounting structure is made of steel that can withstand heavy snow load and wind speed.

Stainless steel solar roof hook

Most of solar panel is installed vertically in tile roof which depends on the direction of roof and the structure of roof beam. but now, we have different hook that can make the solar panel install horizontally, at the end of hook arm, we twist the direction by machine to change its direction, as below picture, the hook 1 and 2 is used for portrait, and the other two is used for landscape.

We also offer screw for fixing hook on the roof and connecting rail with hook if you need.

Introduction:

Extreme weather events, such as snowstorms, pose significant challenges for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The weight of accumulated snow, strong winds, and freezing temperatures can impact the performance and structural integrity of PV mounting systems. In this blog post, we will explore the key considerations and strategies for ensuring the resilience of PV mounting systems in the face of blizzard conditions.

 

Robust Design and Materials:

To withstand the onslaught of a blizzard, PV mounting systems must be built with robust design principles and durable materials. Heavy-duty steel or aluminum structures, along with galvanized or corrosion-resistant coatings, provide the necessary strength and protection against weather-related wear and tear. Reinforced joints and connections also contribute to the overall structural integrity.

 

Snow Shedding Mechanisms:

The accumulation of snow on PV panels can significantly obstruct sunlight exposure, impacting energy production. Incorporating snow shedding mechanisms into the mounting systems can minimize this effect. Options include tilted mounting angles, anti-snow coatings, or active systems, such as heating elements or mechanical devices that enable the shedding of snow from the panels.

 

Engineering for Wind Loads:

High winds accompanying blizzards can exert substantial forces on PV mounting systems. Implementing proper engineering practices, such as accurate load calculations and wind tunnel testing, ensures that the system can withstand the design wind loads. Utilizing wind deflectors or aerodynamic designs can help reduce the impact of strong gusts on the structure.

 

Monitoring and Maintenance:

Regular monitoring of PV mounting systems during blizzards is crucial to identify any potential issues promptly. Remote monitoring systems can provide real-time data on system performance, snow accumulation, and structural integrity. Additionally, scheduled maintenance activities, such as snow removal and inspection, must be conducted after severe weather conditions to ensure the system remains in optimal condition.

 

Local Regulations and Code Compliance:

Adhering to local building codes and regulations is paramount in ensuring the safety and longevity of PV mounting systems. These guidelines often specify requirements related to wind and snow loads, structural design, and installation practices. Engaging with experienced professionals who are familiar with local regulations can help ensure compliance and system resilience.

 

Conclusion:

Blizzards present formidable challenges to PV mounting systems, but with careful planning, robust design, and attentive maintenance, these systems can withstand the harsh conditions and continue to generate clean and sustainable energy. By implementing proactive measures and adhering to industry best practices, we can harness the power of solar energy even in the face of extreme weather events, contributing to a greener and more resilient future.

With the increasing popularity of solar energy, more and more homeowners are turning to solar panels to reduce their carbon footprint and save on energy costs. One of the most common questions homeowners have when considering installing solar panels is whether to use a flat roof or a pitched roof for their solar mount.

1.Simplicity and Ease of Installation

One of the main advantages of using a flat roof solar mount is its simplicity and ease of installation. Flat roofs are generally simpler to design and engineer solar mounting systems for, as they provide a larger, more level surface for panel installation. This simplicity translates into faster installation times and lower installation costs. Flat roofs also require less structural reinforcement, further reducing installation costs.

 

2.Better Panel Orientation and Performance

When it comes to solar panel performance, proper orientation is crucial. With a flat roof solar mount, homeowners can easily position their panels to capture the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day, ensuring optimal performance. Flat roofs also provide better access for cleaning and inspection, ensuring that panels remain free of debris and perform at their best.

 

3.Aesthetics and Integration

Flat roof solar mounts can be designed to blend seamlessly with the roofing materials and architecture of your home, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. By integrating solar panels into the roof, they become an integral part of your home's design, rather than an eyesore or an afterthought.

 

4.Roof Durability and Longevity

Roof damage is one of the leading causes of water leaks and premature roof failure. Flat roof solar mounts are designed to minimize roof stress and distribute weight evenly, reducing the risk of damage to your roof membrane and framing. By installing solar panels on a flat roof solar mount, you can ensure that your roof remains durable and long-lasting.

 

In conclusion, flat roof solar mounts offer numerous advantages for homeowners considering installing solar panels. From simplicity and ease of installation to better panel orientation and performance, aesthetics, and roof durability, flat roof solar mounts provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for harnessing the power of the sun. At SIC Solar, we specialize in providing high-quality flat roof solar mounts that are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual installation. Our mounts are engineered to ensure maximum solar panel performance, durability, and longevity, making them a great choice for homeowners looking to go solar.
