Ground Solar Mounting Design Story: How Wanhos Built Power Plant “Skeleton”
The Backbone of a Solar Project
When Cuba planned its 250MW solar project, the challenge wasn’t just scale—it was crafting a “skeleton” strong enough to withstand Caribbean hurricanes yet flexible enough to embrace the island’s rugged terrain. Wanhos engineers began with the ground itself. They mapped every slope and soil type, then designed a concrete pile mounting system that anchored panels like deep-rooted trees. No bulldozers leveled hills; instead, adjustable legs compensated for elevation changes. The secret lay in dynamic structural calculus—transforming uneven land into an advantage rather than an obstacle.
Dancing with Hurricanes
Installation crews faced a race against tropical storm seasons. Wanhos’ response? A modular design enabling rapid assembly—think LEGO for solar farms. Pre-fabricated components shipped ready to slot together, cutting deployment time by 11%. But speed meant nothing without endurance. When Hurricane Season tested the plant, two defenses proved vital:
- Ground solar mounts with powerful self-repair capabilities
- Triple-redundant bracing absorbed 42m/s winds
Post-storm inspections revealed the triumph: zero bent rails, no foundation cracks. Maintenance teams reported something rarer—18% lower O&M costs thanks to walk-friendly layouts avoiding cramped crawls.
Blueprint for a Solar-Powered Future
The Cuba project became more than a power plant; Wanhos engineers design solar racks based on customer customisation requirements and local climate conditions, and then transmit this data to the Wanhos R&D centre, greatly reducing the time and communication costs associated with customer customisation in similar situations. Today, that knowledge fuels next-gen ground solar structure designs:
Insist on using high-quality materials for photovoltaic mounting systems; “Our mounts must outlive the panels they hold,” says Manager Thomas Wang. From Cuban sugar fields to Chilean deserts, Wanhos is redefining solar longevity—one steel spine at a time.
