Agricultural Solar Mounting System V1
The Agricultural Solar Mounting System V1 is designed for agrivoltaic applications that combine photovoltaic power generation with agricultural land use. The system can be considered for crop cultivation areas, planting sheds, livestock shelters, agricultural facilities, and other projects requiring solar modules to be installed above usable land.
The main structural components use aluminum alloy AL6005-T5 and stainless steel SUS304. Aluminum components receive anodizing treatment for outdoor use. The configuration, column height, row spacing, module clearance, shading rate, foundation arrangement, and structure layout should be determined according to the project design, agricultural requirements, local wind conditions, snow load, soil conditions, and land-use plan.
By elevating solar modules above the ground, the system helps preserve space for agricultural activity below the array. Proper project design is required to balance solar generation, sunlight availability for crops, equipment access, crop management, livestock movement, drainage, maintenance routes, and structural safety.

Agrivoltaic Design Considerations
Agricultural solar projects require coordination between PV structure design and the intended land use below the modules. The final layout should be confirmed based on crop type, planting pattern, machinery access, livestock requirements, drainage, maintenance access, and local planning requirements.
Module elevation, row spacing, array orientation, and shading ratio should be evaluated before construction. These factors may affect crop sunlight exposure, ventilation, rainfall distribution, agricultural operations, and long-term maintenance of the PV system.
Ground screw dimensions, depth, spacing, and installation method must be determined through soil assessment, project-specific structural calculations, and local site conditions. Do not use a generic foundation arrangement without confirming soil bearing capacity, corrosion conditions, drainage, and design loads.
Main System Components
The Agricultural Solar Mounting System V1 includes structural components for ground-mounted agrivoltaic arrays. Typical components include ground screws, foundation flange plates, columns, pre-assembled beams, triangle racks, aluminum rails, rail connectors, rail clamps, end clamps, mid clamps, and grounding components. Final material quantities and component specifications should follow the approved project bill of materials and structural drawings.
Installation Guide
Step 1: Ground Screw Installation
Install ground screws at the planned positions according to the approved layout drawing, foundation schedule, and site survey results. Confirm the array grid, ground levels, screw positions, installation depth, verticality, and foundation elevation before proceeding with the upper structure. Ground screw installation should be carried out according to the approved project design and soil conditions.
Step 2: Install Columns and Pre-Assembled Beams
Connect the columns and pre-assembled beams, then install them on the flange plates of the ground screws. Use the specified bolts and fasteners in accordance with the structural drawings. Before final tightening, verify that the columns are correctly aligned and that the beam elevations are consistent across the array.
Step 3: Install Triangle Racks
Install the triangle racks on the beams according to the approved module layout and tilt angle. Verify the position, orientation, and alignment of each rack before carrying out final tightening. All bolts should be tightened according to the torque requirements stated in the installation manual and project documentation.
Step 4: Install Aluminum Rails
Connect aluminum rails using rail connectors to obtain the required rail length. Fix the rails to the triangle racks with rail clamps. Check rail spacing, straightness, array alignment, and clamp locations before tightening all fasteners to the torque specified in the installation manual.
Step 5: Install PV Modules and Grounding Components
Install PV modules on the rails using end clamps and mid clamps. Use grounding plates, bonding components, grounding lugs, and conductors in accordance with the electrical design and applicable safety requirements. Module clamping locations and tightening torque must follow the PV module manufacturer’s installation instructions and the approved project documentation.
Warranty and Structural Durability
The Agricultural Solar Mounting System V1 uses AL6005-T5 aluminum alloy and SUS304 components with anodized aluminum surfaces for outdoor use.
Xiamen Ziyuan Energy Technology Co., Ltd. provides a 12-year quality warranty and a 25-year design service life for the mounting structure, subject to applicable warranty terms and conditions.
Structural durability depends on soil conditions, foundation design, ground screw installation quality, site drainage, local wind and snow loads, module layout, corrosion conditions, agricultural operations, installation quality, and periodic inspection and maintenance.
The technical team can support reviews of structural layout, ground screw configuration, column height, row spacing, module tilt angle, material list, and component configuration based on project data.
