Zaimex Steel Solar

Steel profiles and substructures for ground-mount solar power plants, calculated for each site.

Product Detail

Solar Mounting Systems

Zaimex Steel manufactures the steel profiles and substructures that carry the modules of a solar power plant. Because the profiles are produced in-house, section and height are matched to each project instead of being taken from a fixed range.

The aim is to lower the structural cost of a solar investment. Every structure is calculated for the conditions of its site, and the static design is prepared and checked before production.

Profiles are hot-dip galvanized for long outdoor service, and the structure is supplied together with the fittings, fasteners and earthing strips it needs.

Technical Specifications

  • U, C and ZED profiles, h = 40–500 mm
  • W beam tracker profiles
  • Hot-dip galvanized steel
  • Static design for each project
  • Fittings, fasteners, laser-cut parts and earthing strips

Profiles

Mounting Profiles

Cold-formed sections for the posts, rails and bracing of the mounting structure. Section height h is the web height of the profile.

U profile cross-section for solar mounting structures, h = 40 to 500 mm h = 40–500 mm
U Profileh = 40–500 mm

Plain channel section without lips.

C profile cross-section for solar mounting structures, h = 40 to 500 mm h = 40–500 mm
C Profileh = 40–500 mm

Lipped channel; the lips stiffen the flange edges.

ZED profile cross-section for solar mounting structures, h = 40 to 500 mm h = 40–500 mm
ZED Profileh = 40–500 mm

Z section with lipped flanges pointing in opposite directions.

Engineering & Static Design

The loads on a solar structure depend on where it stands. Each project is calculated for its own site conditions and requirements, and the static design is prepared and checked before production starts.

  • Structural calculation for the site and the project's requirements
  • Static design prepared and verified
  • Short lead times and coordinated supply of all components
  • Material use optimised to keep the structural cost down
Applications

Applications

Ground-Mount Solar Plants

Zaimex Steel mounting structures are built for ground-mount solar power plants, where rows of modules are carried on steel posts and profiles over open land.

Profile section and height are chosen for the module layout and the loads of each site.
