4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Photovoltaic panel support pier spacing specification standard - CAPTURED ENERGY SOLAR (PTY) LTD”

How to install a PV module?

The module support (array mounting) structure shall hold the PV module (s). The module (s) shall be mounted either on the rooftop of the house or on a metal pole that can be fixed to the wall of the house or separately in the ground, with the module (s) at least 3 (4) meters off the ground.

What is the minimum clearance between PV modules & roofing material?

Minimum clearance between the PV module (s) and the roofing material must be at least 10 cm. It is recommended that the module mounting structure be supported on top of a pole at least 50 cm long or fixed with supporting angles at four positions.

What are the requirements for a solar array?

The pole must be anchored in concrete at least one meter deep in the ground. The pole and mounting structure shall be sufficiently rigid to prevent twisting in the wind or if large birds alight on the array. The support structure shall be able to withstand winds up to 120 km/h (150 km/h in windy areas).

What size pole do I need for a solar array?

A metal pole at least 2“ (50 mm) in diameter must be used with the modules attached at the top of the pole. The pole must be anchored in concrete at least one meter deep in the ground. The pole and mounting structure shall be sufficiently rigid to prevent twisting in the wind or if large birds alight on the array.
