The increasing frequency of extreme weather events due to climate change has emphasised the need for resilient infrastructure.
A recent case study is the cyclone Biparjoy in June 2023, and the minor storm that wreaked havoc in Mumbai in May 2024. The aftermath emphasised the importance of sturdy solar panel structures. Mounting structures are 7-10% of the total project cost, contributing to maximum energy output and lower maintenance expenses.
In regions where wind speeds are generally higher and cyclones are more frequent, it is even more important to have securely designed mounts to prevent damage or dislodging.
Traditional mounting structures, particularly those made by local manufacturers, fail to withstand strong winds, resulting in loss of investment, increased expenses in repair/replacement, decreased reliability and much more.
Furthermore, since wind speeds increase with building height, taller installations are more susceptible to potential damage from strong winds. To prevent this issue, high-quality mounts are necessary to secure solar panels on rooftops and optimise their angle for more sunlight exposure while protecting them from environmental factors.
Considering these factors, SolarSquare’s Intelligent WindPro MountTM 2.0 is designed to withstand high winds and adverse weather conditions, ensuring the durability and performance of solar panel systems.
