Solar ground screw mounting systems are innovative foundation solutions for ground-mounted solar arrays, designed to secure solar panels without the need for concrete, offering faster installation and lower environmental impact. These systems feature helical steel screws (typically 100–300mm in diameter and 1–3m in length) with a spiral blade that twists into the ground, providing stable anchorage by leveraging soil friction. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized steel (with zinc coating thickness ≥85μm) or stainless steel (for corrosive environments), the screws resist rust and degradation, ensuring a service life of 25+ years—matching the lifespan of solar panels. Installation is efficient: using specialized hydraulic or electric drivers, the screws are 拧入 (twisted into) the ground in 1–2 minutes per screw, eliminating the need for excavation, formwork, or curing time associated with concrete. This makes them ideal for remote locations, eco-sensitive areas, or projects with tight timelines. Solar ground screw systems accommodate various soil types, from clay and sand to rocky terrain, with blade designs tailored to specific conditions (e.g., larger blades for loose soil). They support both fixed-tilt and tracking solar arrays, with adjustable top plates that allow precise angle calibration (15°–45°) to optimize sunlight capture. Load capacity is impressive: each screw can withstand vertical loads up to 50 kN and horizontal loads up to 15 kN, meeting international standards such as DIN 1055 (soil mechanics) and IEC 62715 (PV system safety). Environmental benefits include reduced carbon emissions (no concrete production) and minimal site disturbance, preserving vegetation and soil structure. Whether used in utility-scale solar farms, commercial ground arrays, or residential backyard systems, solar ground screw mounting systems offer a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to traditional foundations, proving that renewable energy can be built with minimal environmental footprint.
