Ground based mounting systems
SM-ST4H
The universal SM-ST4H system is ideal for both the construction
of small private solar power plant in households and large industrial
solar power plants.
The system is made of a specially selected high-strength structural
grade of steel, which makes it resistant to loads. At the same time,
SM-ST4H has the lightened weight (in comparison with analogs) that
considerably simplifies transportation and installation of structures.
Original aluminum clamps allow you to mount the panels on both
sides, which facilitates installation and saves time during assembly.

SM-ST4H Bifacial
The SM-ST4H Bifacial mounting system is designed for double-sided
modules. The peculiarity of the design is that the transverse beams
are mounted on the frames of the panels so as not to create shading
on the back.
The height from the edge of the panel to the ground
is 1-1.2 m. This design increases the total energy production
by 5-30%.
The system is made of a specially selected high-strength structural
grade of steel, which makes it resistant to loads.

Ground based mounting systems
The location of the ground system East-West avoids shading of photovoltaic
modules and get more generation of solar energy;
The system provides a minimum distance between rows, so the area can
be densely filled with structures and increase the total capacity of the project;
The design has greater resistance to wind gusts due to the minimum
angle of inclination;
Specially selected high-strength steel grade lightens the weight of the structure,
which significantly reduces the price and transportation costs.

Ground based mounting systems
In consequence of additional sections the assembly design is formed with
any number of panels. If necessary, the finished system is expanded by selective
sections, which helps to increase the capacity of the power plant.
Own design of clamps allows to fix panels from both sides.
Installation of panels from below does not require additional equipment
and reduces installation costs.
The system is easy and quick to install. This affects the efficiency of putting
the facility into operation and the beginning of the payback period of the power
plant.

MOUNTING
SYSTEMS FOR ROOFS
SONNEN METAL mounting systems for roofs are
durable, easy to maintain and tested in the most difficult
conditions. Our design engineers calculate the optimal
design for the roof, taking into account current building
codes, as well as local wind and snow loads.
«When designing mounting systems, we always
focus on ease of installation. Therefore, we have
developed a clip for roof mounting systems, which
greatly simplifies the assembly process, making
it comfortable and fast.»

Ballast
SYSTEM
The ballast roof mounting system is designed for flat roofs
and is installed without anchoring. Thanks to the use of a special
substrate, the load is evenly distributed on the roof without damaging
the waterproofing carpet.
Durable steel reduces the weight of the structure, preserves the
integrity of the roof and prevents leakage of roofing material.
Supporting triangles and fasteners are supplied as an assembly,
so installation is quick and effortless.
