Farmers Must Read : Comment produire facilement de l'énergie solaire avec des supports de montage sur poteau ?
In the context of global energy transformation, solar energy, as a clean and renewable energy, provides an excellent power solution for farms. For farmers, choosing the right solar installation system is crucial, and the pole mount bracket is becoming an ideal choice for farm solar projects due to its unique design and excellent adaptability.
Basics of Pole Mount System
Pole mount solar brackets are mainly divided into two basic types:
- Top-of-pole: The top-mounted type mounts the solar panel array on the top of a single vertical pole, suitable for various configurations from a single component to 24 components.
- Side-of-pole: The side-mounted type can be installed on a variety of vertical poles, especially suitable for small systems from 10W to 480W.
LINKSOLAR offers a variety of high-quality material options, including:
Corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, highly weather-resistant stainless steel and economical hot-dip galvanized carbon steel. These materials have been rigorously tested to ensure stability in various environments.
Unique Advantages of Pole-Mounted Brackets in Farms
Strong Environmental Adaptability
Pole-mounted brackets are very suitable for farm environments, mainly because of their excellent environmental adaptability. Whether in deserts, mountains, grasslands or wetlands, pole-mounted brackets can adapt to various terrain conditions through flexible installation methods. Compared with traditional ground brackets, pole-mounted brackets effectively avoid the risks of floods and snow accumulation, while reducing the impact of shadow shading.
Convenient Transportation and Installation
LINKSOLAR’s pole-mounted bracket system adopts a compact packaging design, which greatly reduces transportation volume and cost. Our bracket system simplifies the installation process, and most products only require basic tools to complete the installation – this is especially important in remote areas with limited technical resources. Compared with traditional ground brackets, pole-mounted brackets usually save installation time.
Ideal Foundation for Independent Power Supply Systems
Farm areas often lack reliable grid connections, and pole-mounted solar systems can operate off-grid, providing a stable source of energy. LINKSOLAR’s pole mount design allows the direction and angle of the solar panel to be adjusted according to the requirements of the installation site, improving the energy capture efficiency in limited spaces, especially suitable for backyards, rural roads, mountainous and desert areas.
Farm Application Scenarios
LINKSOLAR’s pole mounts can adapt to a variety of land needs, crops and livestock, and agricultural functions, including:
- Vegetable and grain farms
- Dairy, poultry, meat and fiber farms
- Feedlots, pastures, grazing areas and meadows
- Vineyards
- Orchards and fruit and nut farms
- Flower and seed farms
- Turf and lawn farms
- Livestock projects
- Honey producers and beekeeping
- Organic, natural pastures and no-till farms
- Cooperative farms and quota farms
Technical Features of Pole Mounts
Ground Clearance
The higher the mount is off the ground, the easier it is to work under and around the array. The leading edge ground clearance provides access for agricultural equipment or keeps the array away from grazing animals. LINKSOLAR’s pole bracket design allows for greater ground clearance than most mounting solutions on the market.
Tilt Adjustment (0-90°)
By quickly adjusting to full vertical, you can open up space between rows, allowing equipment access for tilling or seeding. Tilt adjustment also allows for seasonal adjustments to optimize array output.
Steel Poles
The strength of the steel pole support structure allows solar arrays to coexist with larger animals, such as cattle. It’s also a good investment if your agricultural equipment occasionally goes off track.
Economic Benefit Analysis
Investing in a pole-mounted solar system has significant economic advantages. In terms of initial investment, pole brackets are generally more cost-effective than large ground-mounted systems. LINKSOLAR’s standard pole brackets have advantages in optimizing material usage, simplifying the installation process, and shipping costs, helping customers save initial expenses.
Pole brackets also have advantages in terms of long-term maintenance costs. Our bracket system uses high-quality materials and anti-corrosion treatment processes, typically providing a service life of about 20 years. Compared with ground brackets, pole brackets reduce weed management and water accumulation problems, and reduce maintenance frequency and difficulty.
Success Stories
LINKSOLAR Customer Success Stories: In 2023, we provided an off-grid solar energy solution for a remote village in West Africa. The project used LINKSOLAR top-mounted pole brackets to install solar panels to provide electricity to local schools and clinics. These bracket systems performed well after installation and withstood multiple natural condition tests. The system’s power generation efficiency reached the expected target and user satisfaction was high.
Another case is our cooperation with environmental monitoring agencies in 2022. We provided pole bracket systems for monitoring stations distributed in mountainous areas, which can operate stably under local wind and temperature conditions.
Technical Challenges and Solutions
Despite its many advantages, pole brackets still face some technical challenges in practical applications. The first is wind resistance, especially in areas with strong winds. LINKSOLAR has products suitable for different wind environments, using reinforced structural design to improve bracket stability.
Material corrosion resistance is another important challenge, especially in coastal and saline areas. LINKSOLAR has products suitable for these environments, using surface treatment materials to improve corrosion resistance. For different corrosive environments, we can recommend appropriate material selection and protection measures to extend the service life of the bracket.
Installation Guide
Installing a pole-mounted solar bracket system is relatively simple:
- Choose the right angle: Confirm the appropriate angle based on the best solar angle in your area.
- Install the support rails on the solar panels.
- Attach the adjustable bracket to the top channel and tighten with your fingers.
- Attach the fixed bracket to the bottom channel, and then bolt one end of the support rail to the corresponding fixed bracket.
- Attach the channel to the pole.
- Install the solar panel assembly on the pole.
