Industrial Photovoltaic Ground Mounting – Key Criteria

Selecting an industrial photovoltaic ground mounting system is a strategic step in developing large-scale solar projects. Whether you are an installation company, a design office or a solar park manager, the manufacturer you choose has a direct impact on performance, durability and return on investment.

☀️ Why choose ground mounting for industrial projects?

Industrial installations require robust and adaptable solutions. Ground-mounted photovoltaic systems offer:

  • Optimal panel orientation to maximise energy production.
  • Simplified maintenance with easy access to all components.
  • Independence from existing structures – ideal for vacant or unused land.

🛠️ Key criteria for choosing a reliable manufacturer

Consider these essential factors:

  • Proven production capacity (e.g. 780 MW/year at SMI Grup)
  • Experience in large-scale industrial projects
  • Technical certifications (ISO, CE etc.)
  • Customised solutions based on topographical analysis
  • High-quality materials (galvanised steel, C or Omega profiles)

A successful manufacturer provides more than a product – they support the client through every stage, from ground studies to commissioning.

🔩 Materials, techniques and customisation

Leading manufacturers offer a wide range of technologies:

  • Galvanised steel structures for long service life
  • Fixing options: concrete foundations or screw piles
  • Adaptability to various terrain types (flat, hilly, loose soil)
  • Wind/snow load studies and 3D structural simulations
