Optimised solution for large-scale solar projects, delivering higher performance and fast, cost-effective installation
The 5R Horizontal structure is a heavy-duty, twin-post frame engineered specifically for utility-scale developments such as commercial solar farms and industrial parks. Its layout accommodates five horizontal (landscape) rows of photovoltaic modules, achieving high installation density and outstanding land-use efficiency.
Piles are driven directly into the ground—no concrete foundations required—so construction is faster, logistics are simpler, and overall costs fall sharply. A fixed 25 ° tilt is calibrated for steady year-round output under the solar-irradiance conditions typical of Central and Eastern Europe. All steel members receive a uniform, premium galvanised coating that shields the system from corrosion even in harsh environments, making the 5R Horizontal an excellent choice for developers who need long-term reliability and an attractive payback profile.
ADVANTAGES
- Design with five landscape rows for maximum efficiency: the configuration mounts five horizontal strings, dramatically increasing array density. Landscape orientation optimises ground coverage and airflow around each module, improving thermal behaviour and boosting long-term energy yield.
- Twin-post architecture for superior stability: two vertical piles support every table, distributing loads evenly along the span. The balanced geometry resists high winds, heavy snow, and other mechanical stresses, maintaining structural integrity even on challenging sites.
- Ideal 25 ° tilt angle: the standard inclination strikes the perfect balance between daily production and land utilisation. Proven effective in regions with medium to high solar irradiance, the 25 ° pitch delivers a consistent generation profile and pairs smoothly with most inverter designs.
- Foundation-free ramming installation: piles are driven with a hydraulic pile driver—no concrete, no curing delays. Material costs plummet, construction timelines compress, and remote or difficult locations become feasible without the logistics of wet works.
- Durable, corrosion-protected construction: built from high-grade galvanised steel with a premium anti-corrosion finish, the frame withstands extreme humidity, salinity, and temperature swings. The coating carries long warranty periods, safeguarding performance through decades of operation.
- Purpose-built for large-scale investment: high module capacity, rapid deployment, and proven durability make the 5R Horizontal the system of choice for commercial solar parks and utility PV plants. Faster installation, lower OPEX, and robust energy output combine to shorten payback times and deliver stable, long-term returns.
Solar Panel Ground Mounting Systems East-West 4R Portrait
Compact East-West structure for constrained sites, delivering efficient all-day power production
The East-West 4R Portrait ground-mount frame is engineered for solar farms where limited surface area demands maximum energy density. The layout carries four vertical (portrait) rows of photovoltaic modules in an East-West orientation, harvesting morning and afternoon irradiance alike. Optimised for 32 modules per table, the system employs a shallow 15 ° tilt that minimises inter-row shading and lowers wind exposure. Because no gaps are required between tables, land occupation is extremely efficient, making the structure ideal for flat or gently sloped terrain.
Installation is performed by mechanical ramming—no concrete foundations—while all steel members receive a premium anti-corrosion coating that guarantees long service life. The East-West 4R Portrait is a strategic choice for modern PV plants seeking balanced output, structural stability, and top-tier land utilisation.
Advantages
- Compact configuration for limited land area: the frame is purpose-designed to occupy the smallest possible footprint by eliminating separation aisles between tables. That compact geometry lets developers install the maximum number of modules inside a constrained perimeter—an invaluable advantage on parcels bounded by zoning setbacks, existing infrastructure, or irregular property lines—while still meeting all clearance and maintenance requirements.
- Four portrait rows for optimal efficiency: arranging the modules in four vertical strings achieves an excellent balance between panel density and light capture. Portrait mounting shortens DC cable runs, keeps string voltages high, and simplifies wire management, all while maintaining ample airflow behind each module for lower cell temperatures and higher real-world performance.
- All-day energy production through East-West orientation: the back-to-back layout harvests morning irradiance on the east-facing rows and afternoon irradiance on the west-facing rows, producing a flatter generation curve that avoids midday inverter clipping and reduces grid-export spikes. This distributed output profile is ideal for on-site self-consumption and eases integration with utility networks.
- Low 15 ° tilt angle for reduced shading and wind load: the shallow pitch all but eliminates inter-row shading even at tight row spacing, while the lower profile cuts aerodynamic uplift forces. The result is a rack that stays stable in high winds, needs less structural steel, and makes better use of the available ground without sacrificing annual energy yield.
- Optimised for 32 solar panels per table: every table is dimensioned to carry exactly thirty-two modules, streamlining design, logistics, and on-site assembly. Standardised parts arrive pre-kitted, crews repeat the same installation steps table after table, and quality control is simplified—collectively driving down labour hours and construction risk.
- Reduced mutual shading between modules: the compact geometry, combined with the shallow tilt, minimises the shadows cast by one panel onto the next during the low-sun hours of early morning and late afternoon. Less self-shading translates directly into higher daily output and a better specific yield over the plant’s lifetime.
- Simple, rapid installation by mechanical ramming: steel piles are driven directly into the soil with pile-driving equipment, eliminating concrete foundations. This method compresses the build schedule, slashes material costs, and avoids the curing delays and heavy logistics associated with traditional footings—perfect for fast-tracked projects or remote sites where access for wet works is limited.
