Module Mounting Structure(MMS)
A module mounting structure (MMS) is a frame or fixture that holds solar panels in place. MMSs are a key component of solar power plants, and they are used to secure panels on rooftops, poles, or the ground.
Why are MMSs important?
Energy efficiency: MMSs position panels to maximize sunlight exposure, which improves energy efficiency
Durability: MMSs protect panels from environmental damage and prolong their lifespan
Structural stability: MMSs provide structural stability for the solar panels
How are MMSs designed?
- The design of an MMS depends on the technology used, such as fixed tilt, seasonal tilt, or trackers
- The design strength of an MMS depends on factors such as wind speed, soil type, and site location
- MMSs are designed to minimize shading from nearby trees, buildings, or other panels
What are some types of MMSs?
RCC Roof Mounting Structure: Used to install solar panels over concrete rooftops
Automatic Tracking System: Moves throughout the day based on a pre-set algorithm to follow the sun's direction
