Module mounting structures are key to solar PV projects

“Good quality mounting structures on a ground-mounted or rooftop solar project not only help maintain the optimum generation, but these structures also need to withstand the weight of solar panels, high wind speeds, and varying temperatures.”
Sanjay Deshmukh, CEO Pearl Energy solutions (India) Pvt. Ltd.

Sanjay Deshmukh, CEO Pearl Energy solutions (India) Pvt. Ltd. discusses the extensive range of products and services the company provides for the solar energy sector and the importance of module mounting structures in a solar photovoltaic (PV) project.

How do you define the role of solar in on-grid and off-grid applications and net metering?
On-grid rooftop solar mainly consists of three major components. These are solar PV modules, mounting structure for the modules, and inverter or power conditioning units. Solar panels convert solar energy in the form of light into electricity in DC power. The DC power is converted into AC power by the inverter/power conditioning unit which is connected to the power grid through AC distribution board. The AC power output can be measured through the metering panel connected to it. The system can be synchronised with the grid and the electricity can be exported to the grid depending upon solar power generation and local consumption.

Do you think that the quality of solar structures is being compromised owing to low tariffs?
Module mounting structures are the backbone of any solar photovoltaic (PV) energy project. Good quality mounting structures on a ground-mounted or rooftop solar project not only help maintain the optimum generation, but these structures also need to withstand the weight of solar panels, high wind speeds, and varying temperatures. We cannot compromise the quality of the solar structure.
