We have recently uploaded a 2.5-minute video to the Youtube channel of FLINS – FlexInSheet, which contains our installation works of a solar park anchored with 42 ground screws, suitable for the support of a total of 138 modules placed on our DuoSol solar panel supporting structures. Of course, this short film displays only a small part of such large-scale projects, but it can be seen that a really professional installation does not by far consist of only the assembly of the elements. In the most recent post of our blog we tried to summarise what steps the professional process has from the first to the last, and why you should entrust FlexInSheet Kft. team with this (too) for the long-term reliability of the systems.
Probably all solar panel sector operators have already heard of supporting structures damaged in different storms, suffering considerable harm. As the weather becomes increasingly extreme, unfortunately we have to prepare for similar challenges more frequently, to which developers, producers, designers and installers must also react.
We have some good news in connection with this for our existing and future partners! On the one hand, at the time of the former wind records there were substantially fewer problems with the ground-mounted DuoSol solar panel supporting structures than in systems of other brands – based on sector information. Of course, this has a number of components from the selection of the right anchoring method to the impeccable installation. In any case we can say that the solutions of FLINS endure weather challenges in an outstanding manner.
On the other hand, in FlexInSheet we have got all above-mentioned tasks essential from the point of view of stability under control – i.e. development, production, design and installation-, and thanks to that we can give an answer to new challenges extremely efficiently, thus guaranteeing complex, long-lasting solutions of high engineering quality for our customers. So all the more reason to fully leave your solar panel projects to us!
In which areas can you count on us for a professional installation?
Our qualified and experienced engineers survey and analyse the characteristics of project locations with the help of the most modern technology and make suggestions on the exact details of the implementation, like the anchoring method among other things, taking into account the results.
It often occurs that the area designated for the solar panel supporting structures has characteristics which makes it rather difficult to apply ’standard’ products. In this case, it can come in handy that we are ready to design and produce unique systems even fully tailor-made to the given customer and location in a short time in FLINS’s own plant in Rácalmás. And if the installation can be optimally realised with the traditional elements of DuoSol, we can ensure extremely short delivery deadlines in this sector for our customers due to our higher-than-usual stock.
No matter what arrangement we are talking about, our colleagues possessing all necessary entitlements and significant skills take care of the 3D terrain modelling of the systems in preparation with modern software, and the making of visualiations and the specific installation plan.
Our skilful colleagues take care of all the installation tasks on request too. In connection with this it is worth mentioning that FlexInSheet team prefers ground screw anchoring in the majority of the cases mainly because during the load tests done by our company these were torn out of the ground as a result of a tensile force three times as great as in the case of ground nail solutions most commonly used in Hungary. Nevertheless, we also wholeheartedly recommend the FLINS ground nail set and we take care of the implementation in special cases, for example if ground conditions make it problematic to drive in ground screws safely. It is a relevant recent development that now our ground screws and further anchoring fittings can also be ordered from stock immediately from our company.
Coming back to anchoring, our colleagues working in the front line carry out the drive-in with millimetre accuracy with GPS-based measuring instruments and advanced levelling devices among other things, then they assemble our solar panel supporting structures originally designed for simplicity with the quickness and precision demonstrated in our video. This guarantees that our systems maintain their stability for the expected period and beyond, and withstand the up to 130 km/h wind gusts based on the simulations. Let us add that the maximum 15-year guarantee can be enforced only in the case of an installation made by the experts of FlexInSheet Kft.
We have already indicated above in connection with the production of solar panel supporting structures, that one of the greatest strengths of our company is flexibility and special solutions, and this also holds true in the case of unique connecting elements necessary for an extra load-bearing capacity. Accordingly, in order to ensure a solid connection between the ground screw and the superstructure we can even design and produce fittings fully adapted to the given location.
Solar panel investments always have a long-term character, therefore we must not let the expected return fail because of any small detail. You can rely on FLINS team for the professional installation and all the other steps of your solar panel project too, thus you may rest assured because of reliability!
