Solar Mounting Structures
The structure holds modules at the designed tilt and orientation and transfers wind and dead loads safely into the roof or ground.
What it is
A mounting structure is the mechanical backbone of a solar plant. It fixes tilt and azimuth, maintains clearance for airflow and cleaning, and must withstand site wind loading for the system's full life without damaging the roof it sits on.
Where it is used
- RCC terrace installations with elevated or standard structures
- Metal sheet and standing-seam industrial roofs
- Ground-mount and MW-scale plants
- Elevated structures over parking, walkways and open yards
Key specifications
- Materials
- Hot-dip galvanised steel, pre-galvanised GI or aluminium rail systems
- Roof interfaces
- Chemical or mechanical anchoring, ballast (non-penetrative), sheet clamps, standing-seam clamps
- Design inputs
- Site wind speed, roof structure capacity, tilt, row spacing and shadow analysis
- Fasteners
- Stainless steel fasteners at module and rail interfaces
- Clearance
- Set for airflow, cleaning access and maintenance movement
Specifications and warranty
- Structure design is site-specific. Section sizes and foundation details follow the structural assessment for your roof or land.
- On sheet roofs, the mounting approach is selected to preserve roof waterproofing and, where relevant, roofing warranty conditions.
Where this fits in our services
Solar Rooftop Solutions
Rooftop solar converts sunlight falling on your roof into electricity that your building uses first, reducing the units you draw from the grid. GLS designs, installs, commissions and maintains rooftop systems in Chennai and across Tamil Nadu.
Commercial & Industrial Solar
Commercial and industrial solar reduces the cost of day-time electricity for businesses by generating power at the point of consumption. GLS engineers and executes these systems on factory, warehouse, institutional and commercial buildings.
MW / Utility Scale Solar EPC
Solar EPC means one contractor carries engineering, procurement and construction responsibility for a solar plant. GLS executes MW-scale solar projects covering civil works, DC and AC works, balance of system, commissioning and ongoing O&M.
