The depth of the holes is determined according to the drawings.✅Step 2 - Put the pile in the hole and fixed with a bracket, and then the concrete is poured into the hole.✅Step 3 - Connect the triangular connector to the upper column, then fix the upper column to the pile.✅Step 4 - Secure the clamp to the upper column.✅Step 5 - Fix the purlin bracket to the inclined beam.✅Step 6 - Then, overlap the inclined beam with the triangular connector, and fix the inclined brace between the inclined beam and the clamp.✅Step 7 - Install the column tie rod and diagonal beam tie rod.✅Step 8 - The purlins are connected in sequence with purlin connectors and purlin tie rods are installed.✅Step 9 - Finally, solar panels are bolted to the purlinsA reliable installation system is key to maximizing the energy output and lifespan of solar assets.We focus on providing solar energy solutions for commercial and utility-scale projects. Let's talk about how to support your next renewable energy plan.

We are proud to showcase the successful completion of a 15.6MWp floating solar project on a former tin mine lake in Malaysia—a site with significant hydrological challenges.The Challenge: An uneven seabed, depths of over 20 meters, and loose sandy soil demanded a floating structure with superior stability, anti-overturning capability, and a customized anchoring design.Our Solution: After rigorous on-site comparison with other float providers, our TGW-03 frameless float system was chosen as the optimal solution. Key differentiators included:✅ Enhanced stability and wind resistance from our "frame + float" design.✅ Improved energy output due to superior module cooling.✅ Faster installation with fewer metal components.✅ A custom mooring system with pre-cast concrete blocks for complex seabed conditions.This project demonstrates our commitment to providing technically advanced and reliable solutions for the most complex FPV environments.We invite our connections in the industry to watch the video and learn how we can help unlock the potential of challenging water bodies for clean power generation.SolarFirst - Powering a Cleaner Future, on Water.
