U-Steel Ground Mounting Structure

Industrial-Grade U-Steel Ground Mounting System

Maximize the efficiency and structural integrity of utility-scale solar farms with ZIYUAN’s U-Steel Ground Mounting Structure. Engineered for high-load capacity and extreme environmental resilience, this system utilizes heavy-duty hot-dip galvanized U-channel steel combined with high-strength anodized AL6005-T5 aluminum rails to provide a robust, triangular stable framework for large-scale PV arrays.

Optimized for rapid deployment, our modular design supports versatile foundation options—specifically spiral ground screws—ensuring a secure, welding-free installation that significantly reduces on-site labor costs across varied soil conditions and terrains.

  • Maximum Durability: Corrosion-resistant galvanized steel with a 25-year design life.

  • Foundation Versatility: Engineered for spiral ground screws or concrete foundations.

  • Rapid Setup: High degree of factory pre-assembly eliminates on-site cutting/welding.

  • High Load Capacity: Rated for wind speeds up to 60m/s and heavy snow loads (1.4 kN/m²).

  • Certified Compliance: Fully compliant with JISC8955:2017 and AS/NZS 1170 standards.

ZIYUAN U-Steel Ground Mounting Structure is a specialized racking system engineered for utility-scale solar arrays. Utilizing hot-dip galvanized U-channel steel and high-strength aluminum rails, it provides exceptional stability and precise positioning for large-scale solar projects across diverse terrains.

Key Benefits of U-Steel Ground Mount Systems:

  • Structural Durability: 25-year design life with hot-dip galvanized coating for extreme environmental resilience.
  • Flexible Foundations: Fully compatible with spiral ground screws or concrete bases for varied soil conditions.
  • Pre-assembled Design: Modular components significantly reduce on-site labor and eliminate the need for welding.
  • High Load Capacity: Engineered to withstand wind speeds up to 60m/s and heavy snow loads.

Installation Guide

1: Survey the site’s sun exposure and soil conditions, then mark foundation points.

2: Install ground screws or pile footings, ensuring all anchors are level and secure.

3: Attach pre-drilled U-steel tracks to the foundations and tighten all bolts fully.

4: Place the solar modules on the U-rails and lock with mid and end clamps.

5: Bond and ground all metal parts per code, ensuring solid metal-to-metal contact.

6: Check all fasteners and perform semi-annual inspections to ensure stability.
