Solar Structure
The mounting structure is the supporting structure that holds the solar panels or arrays of solar panels to the ground. ... Mounting structures made of steel or aluminium support the panels on the ground, and also tilt them at an optimal angle to receive maximum sunlight.
There are four basic types of mount structures: roof/ground, top-of-pole, side-of-pole and tracking mounts, each having their own pros and cons. For example roof mount structures typically keep the wire run distances between the solar array and battery bank or grid-tie inverter to a minimum, which is good.
