Precautions For Solar Panel Bracket
1. The installation structure of the solar panel bracket should be simple, strong, and durable. The material of the photovoltaic array bracket must withstand various harsh environments on the project site to ensure 25 years of weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and structural strength. Electroplated aluminum profiles, electroplated and stainless steel are all ideal choices. Meanwhile, the bracket welding must meet the national standard “Code for Acceptance of Construction Quality of Steel Structure Engineering” (GB50205-2001). The weight of the array bracket should be reduced as much as possible when it meets the design requirements to facilitate transportation and installation.
2. During the construction of the photovoltaic array foundation and support, as much as possible, it is necessary to avoid damage to related buildings and ancillary facilities. If local damage is unavoidable due to construction needs, it should be repaired in time after the completion of the construction.
3 When installing photovoltaic arrays on the roof, the embedded parts of the base should be firmly welded or connected to the main structure of the roof. If welding or connection is impossible due to structural restrictions, measures should be taken to increase the adhesion between the base and the top. And use the wire tensioning method or bracket extension fixing method to fix. After the foundation is made, the damaged roof or the involved parts should be waterproofed in accordance with the requirements of the national standard “Roofing Engineering Quality Acceptance Specification” (GB50207-2002) to prevent water seepage and rain leakage.
4. The frame and support of the photovoltaic cell module should be reliably connected to the grounding system.
Fixed Form of Ground Installation of Solar Power System
1. Hammer Into The Ground
Measure the distance at the installation site, and drive the column into the ground directly using the pile driver, which is convenient and quick. Before installation, geological and soil testing is required to determine the appropriate penetration depth.
The following types of profiles are suitable for hammer-in-ground piles, which can be selected according to actual conditions:
Advantages:
- Fast and adaptable;
- Cost-effective;
- Not restricted by seasonal temperature;
- It is convenient to remove the piles and does not affect the reuse of the installation site.
2. Spiral Pile
Spiral piles can be used when hammering the column directly into the ground is inconvenient because the installation site is too hard or there are too many crushed stones. Drive the screw-in steel pipe into the ground, and then fix the column on it.
Advantages:
- Adaptable, Flexible;
- Not restricted by seasonal temperature;
- It is convenient to remove the piles and does not affect the reuse of the installation site.

You can make a cement foundation if the installation site is unsuitable for plug-in piles. The brackets are placed on the cement foundation and fixed with bolts.
Advantages:
- High strength and high precision；
- Strong adaptability to the ground.
4. Direct Cement Pouring
Another form of cement foundation is to pour the bracket and cement together directly. Compared with the above, this method saves time for bolting and fixing but requires higher positioning accuracy of the support column during pouring.
Advantages:
- High strength and high precision；
- Strong adaptability to the ground.

Color Steel Tile Roof Solar Panel Installation System
Color steel plate roofs are usually installed in non-penetrating ways such as buckles, concealed buckles, and overlocking. In special cases, they can be installed through penetration.
First, understand what a color steel roof is: steel formed by cold pressing or cold rolling of a thin steel plate. The steel plate adopts an organic coating thin steel plate (or color steel plate), galvanized thin steel plate, anti-corrosion thin steel plate (including asbestos asphalt layer)， or other thin steel plates.
Color Steel Tile Fixing Seat
Installation Precautions：
1: First, repair the roof with wooden or bamboo board construction plank roads to prevent the material from being directly stepped on the roof slab during the secondary transportation, which will cause the roof slab to be deformed, and the sealant will come off and leak water.
2: Identify the position of the original structure roof purlin, and mark the specific position with the elastic ink line. The connection between the bracket and the color steel plate must be at the roof purlin position.
3: The construction personnel must wear insulated soft-soled shoes and walk through the troughs on the roof. Remove the sundries on the roof slab every day to prevent rust and scratches on the roof slab.
4: You must be aware of anywhere that needs sealing paste. After installing the outer roof panel, remove all the debris and iron filings on the roof. If the roof panel coating is scratched, repair it with a color board special repair paint. If the rivets and self-tapping screws are empty, you should repair them with rivets and sealing paste at any time and not damage the rubber gaskets.
