Photovoltaic installation elements

What are photovoltaic mounting systems used for?

To ensure the safety and durability of your solar system, BalkanEnergy.CO.UK offers photovoltaic mounting systems that include reliable and high-quality profiles and mounting brackets.
 

Photovoltaic profiles

Photovoltaic profiles are designed to provide a stable foundation for solar panels and to hold them in place even under extreme weather conditions. They are made from high-quality materials such as aluminum and stainless steel, which guarantee a long lifespan and corrosion resistance.

Advantages of Photovoltaic Profiles:

• Lightweight and strong

• Easy installation

• High corrosion resistance

• Long service life
   

Types of Photovoltaic Profiles

• Aluminum Photovoltaic Profiles – Aluminum profiles are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install. They are preferred for their durability and efficiency. Aluminum profiles are ideal for outdoor installations exposed to various weather conditions.
• Galvanized Photovoltaic Profiles – Galvanized profiles are steel profiles coated with a layer of zinc for additional protection against corrosion. They are heavier than aluminum profiles but offer high strength and durability, making them suitable for larger and more demanding systems.
   

How to Choose the Right Profile for Your Photovoltaic System?
 

When choosing a profile for a photovoltaic system, it is important to consider several factors:

• Type of mounting surface (roof, ground, etc.)

• Climatic conditions in the area

• Weight and dimensions of the solar panels

• Installation budget

Photovoltaic Mounting Brackets

Photovoltaic mounting brackets ensure the correct tilt angle, which is crucial for the maximum efficiency of the system. The brackets can be installed on roofs, facades, and on the ground, depending on the specific installation needs.

Photovoltaic mounting brackets are devices designed to mount solar panels. They provide the necessary stability and optimal angle for the most efficient energy production from sunlight.

Types of Photovoltaic Mounting Brackets:
 

• Roof Mounting Brackets - Ideal for installation on flat and sloped roofs.
• Ground Mounting Brackets - Suitable for large solar parks.
• Facade Mounting Brackets - Used for vertical installations on buildings.
• Fixed Mounting Brackets - Fixed mounting brackets are the simplest type of photovoltaic mounts. They are installed in one position and do not move. This makes them more economical, but their efficiency depends on the correct choice of orientation and angle.
• Adjustable Mounting Brackets – Adjustable brackets allow the angle of the solar panels to be changed depending on seasonal changes in sunlight. This increases the efficiency of the panels throughout the year.
• Tracking Mounting Brackets – Tracking brackets automatically follow the movement of the sun throughout the day, providing maximum sunlight exposure. They are the most efficient but also the most expensive.

Benefits of Using Photovoltaic Mounting Brackets

• Increased Efficiency – Properly installed brackets ensure that the solar panels receive maximum sunlight throughout the day, increasing electricity production.
• Durability and Security – The brackets provide stability and protection for the solar panels against external influences such as wind and rain, extending their lifespan.
• Easy Maintenance – Modern photovoltaic brackets are designed to allow easy access for maintenance and cleaning of the panels.

How to Choose Suitable Photovoltaic Mounting Brackets?
 

• Terrain Analysis -The first step is to analyze the terrain where the brackets will be installed. This includes checking sunlight exposure, wind conditions, and potential obstacles.

• Material Selection - The brackets can be made from various materials such as aluminum, steel, and others. It is important to choose a material that is resistant to corrosion and weather conditions.

• Professional Installation - For optimal efficiency and security, it is recommended that the installation be performed by professionals with experience in photovoltaic systems.
