Chinese mounting system supplier Mibet claims its new G5 product is capable of withstanding wind gusts of more than 60 meters per second. It uses high-density polyethylene floats and aluminum alloy support legs.
Chinese PV mounting system supplier Mibet has launched a new floating PV panel system. The “G5” system is designed for marine applications. Offers options for 5 degree, 10 degree, 12 degree and 15 degree installation angles.
“The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) floats used in the system are suitable for various bodies of water, do not pollute and have a useful life of more than 25 years,” the company states. “In addition, they are compatible with all primary solar components on the market.”
In addition to high-density polyethylene, the floating structure features aluminum alloy support legs. The floating photovoltaic array uses magnesium-aluminum-zinc alloy rails to hold the solar panels. Also includes stainless steel fixings.
“To improve overall stability, the connection between the floats now uses a recessed fixed structure and anti-loosening plastic bolts/nuts,” explains Mibet. “With a buoyancy of over 150kg/m2, the size of the individual floats has been increased to improve overall buoyancy.”
The company said the new system can withstand wind gusts of more than 60 meters per second, snow loads of 1 kN/m2, temperatures between -40ºC and +85ºC, and a pH level of 4.
“As a modular product, it can be expanded in a variety of ways, including with patterns such as parallel double rows or symmetrical double rows,” the company noted. |
