In the context of today's energy transition, solar plants as an important part of the clean energy sector, its efficiency optimization has become the focus of industry attention. This paper will delve into how to scientifically design and optimize the solar mounting structure through a systematic design approach, in order to achieve dual enhancement of performance and economic benefits.

First, an accurate load assessment is the foundation of the design. We need to conduct a comprehensive environmental parameter analysis of the solar plant site, including but not limited to average annual wind speed, frequency of extreme weather, seismic intensity level and snow accumulation thickness and other key indicators. By establishing an accurate load model, we can accurately predict the stress distribution that the mounting system may experience during actual operation, providing reliable data support for subsequent design.

Secondly, in the structural analysis stage, we can carry out a comprehensive mechanical performance evaluation of solar PV mounting systems with the help of professional structural analysis software, and simulate the stress distribution and deformation under various conditions to ensure the structural stability of the mounting system in extreme weather. Additionally, considering the fatigue characteristics of the materials, we can also perform long-term service performance predictions to extend the lifespan of the mounting system.

The last step is to optimize the design. By utilizing professional optimization algorithms or software, we can precisely adjust the cross-sectional dimensions and shape of the mounting structure to minimize its weight and cost while ensuring strength and stability. Meanwhile, by taking into account the actual conditions of the solar plant and light conditions, we can develop a scientifically sound overall layout and arrangement. This will further enhance the power generation efficiency of the plant.

Through the above systematic optimization methods, we can not only significantly improve the power generation efficiency of solar plants, but also effectively reduce the construction and operation costs, providing strong support for the sustainable development of the PV industry.

As global awareness of environmental protection grows and reliance on fossil fuels gradually decreases, solar plants have become a critical component of sustainable energy solutions. Despite the bright prospects of solar power in the energy sector, one common question arises: why is the lifespan of a solar plant typically considered 25 years? Does this mean it must be decommissioned and stop generating electricity after 25 years?

China’s national standards specify that the designed service life of solar mounting structure is 25 years. Generally, PV modules experience gradual performance degradation over time. After 25 years of operation, their conversion efficiency typically remains around 80% of their original efficiency, meaning they still have the capacity to generate electricity and provide economic benefits. If the degradation rate exceeds 20%, the modules are usually considered to have reached the end of their lifespan. This conclusion is based on extensive experimental data and practical experience and is widely accepted within the industry. Therefore, from a performance perspective, a solar plant can operate stably for 25 years.

From the perspective of bracket performance, solar mounting structure are typically made from materials such as galvanized C type steel or aluminum alloys, which have excellent corrosion resistance and high durability. If qualified products are selected—meeting standards for zinc coating integrity and structural thickness—their lifespan often far exceeds 25 years, ensuring reliable support for the long-term stable operation of the plant.

From an investment return perspective, the payback period for a solar plant is typically around 4–10 years. A designed lifespan of 25 years allows investors to generate stable returns during the remaining years, ensuring sufficient time to recover costs and earn reasonable profits. If the lifespan were too short, the return on investment could be too low, reducing investor interest. On the other hand, an excessively long lifespan could increase maintenance costs and technical risks.

While current solar technology and materials can ensure the stability and reliability of PV modules during their operational period, the 25-year lifespan is not an absolute limit—it is simply a reasonable estimate. With ongoing advancements in technology, the performance and lifespan of solar modules are expected to improve even further in the future.

Under the constraints of limited roof resources, how can we maximize the output of solar plant? This article dives into several key strategies to help businesses make the most of their solar roof mounting systems！

1. Choose High-Quality Products

Opt for PV mounting and equipment from well-known brands in the industry. These brands typically offer better quality assurance and after-sales service, providing timely technical support and maintenance. High-quality PV mounting structures are designed and manufactured with operational stability in mind, using premium materials and advanced packaging techniques to ensure reliable power generation.

Additionally, prioritize products certified and tested by reputable organizations such as TÜV and UL. These products have been widely validated in the market, offering stable and reliable performance that supports the long-term operation of solar plants.

2. Optimize the PV Array

When designing the PV array, it’s important to optimize its orientation and tilt angle to maximize solar radiation absorption, thereby boosting the solar plant's output. If roof space is limited, adjust the array design based on the actual roof conditions and system capacity to ensure an optimized layout. Moreover, take care to minimize shading issues caused by nearby buildings, trees, or modules within the array.

3. Perform Regular Inspections

Conduct regular checks of the PV mounting systems to detect and resolve potential issues promptly. Clean the surface of the modules regularly to remove dust and dirt, maintaining light transmission and ensuring high power generation efficiency.

For enhanced monitoring and management of the solar plant’s operations, consider installing an intelligent control system. By monitoring real-time power generation and other key parameters, you can adjust operational strategies promptly to further improve efficiency.

By implementing these measures, you can significantly enhance the power output of your solar plant and maximize your returns. Want to learn more about solar energy? Follow Huge Energy for the latest insights!
