company news about Application of Steel Structures in New Energy PV Power Plants: Advantages, Solutions, and Cases

With the rapid development of the new energy industry, steel structures have become the core material choice for PV power plant construction due to their advantages of high strength, light weight, and prefabrication. This article details the application value of steel structures in PV power plants:
Core Application Scenarios:
Support Systems: C-section steel and Z-section steel are used as PV module supports, featuring corrosion resistance and wind load resistance, suitable for installation on different terrains;
Inverter Room/Control Room: Light steel structures are adopted with modular design, enabling rapid assembly to meet the operation and maintenance needs of power plants;
Energy Storage Shelves: Box beam + steel column composite structures are selected, with strong load-bearing capacity, suitable for storing large-scale energy storage equipment;
Core Advantages:
Strong Adaptability: Suitable for installation on flat land, mountains, roofs, and other scenarios, with better terrain adaptability than concrete structures;
Efficient Construction: Components are prefabricated in factories and assembled on-site, reducing the construction period by more than 30% and accelerating the grid connection and power generation speed of the power plant;
Environmental Sustainability: Steel is recyclable, in line with the green and low-carbon concept of new energy projects, reducing construction waste.
Case Study: A 100MW distributed PV power plant project adopted our customized steel structure support system. The main structure installation was completed in only 45 days, with an annual power generation capacity of 120 million kWh. The structural stability has been tested without abnormalities for 3 years.
