What is a PVSP support system?

In recent years, the design of PVSP support system has become the focus of attention with the popularization and increasing application fields. The PVSPs are typically installed on aluminum or galvanized/ painted/ stainless steel support structures (the ground mounting steel frame).

Can PV solar panels be installed on a roof?

However, the mechanical fixing of the rails is related to the penetration of the weatherproof layer of roof, and therefore, the installation of PV solar panels could be problematic.

What is a solar mounting system?

Mounting systems represent an integral and key part of photovoltaic plants. Their function is reliable fixing of solar panels on either roofs or ground in the case of ground installations.
