Success for large-scale projects means cost-effective solutionsReliable mounting systems that can be installed quickly for all regions and locations,
optimal yields and short payback periods – IdeemaTec is a global solar power specialist
with many years of experience, capable of fulfi lling the requirements of large
photovoltaic projects anywhere in the world.
This experience gained in the fi eld has also been embraced in our research and
development of our proven fi xed mounting solutions for ground-mounted projects.
Optimal yields includedThe tilt of the module table can be
adjusted to achieve the best angle of
incidence for the position of the sun
depending on the region. Angles from
12 to 30 degrees can be preset at
the factory, with custom solutions also
available. In addition, you can increase
utilization of the terrain by up to 30 %
with horizontal module orientation and
optimized string connection.
Quick module setup with standard anti-theft protection systemWe implemented a new riveting technique
in the safeFix Steel that we borrowed
from aircraft engineering. The modules
are mounted using rivets making
installation much faster than module
clamps using screws. As an added bonus,
it makes the system diffi cult for thieves
to dismantle. However, the option of
using module clamps is still being offered
for traditionalists.
The advantages of the riveting technique
at a glance:
• Installation completed in less time
• Improved protection against theft
• Loose module clamps are a thing of
the past with standardized and
precisely defi ned torques
• No inspection and maintenance work
of module fastening required afterward
Flexible arrangement of modulesYou can choose to mount the modules either horizontally or vertically with the safeFix
Steel. When mounting two modules vertically or four modules horizontally, the frame is
designed as a single-base system. Thanks to the improved ground clearance and row
spacing, it is the most cost-effective and maintenance-friendly method, enabling you to
mow the grass or perform cleaning work conveniently.
For three vertical modules or six horizontal modules, the safeFix Steel is delivered as a dual-
base system. The added benefi t here is you can achieve higher yields on less ground surface,
in addition to the improved static properties in regions with high snow and wind loads.
The product range is rounded off by a separate East-West mounting system, either with
two/three Modules mounted vertically or four/six modules mounted horizontally.
Wide range of options for the foundationIPE posts are used for the foundation with
the safeFix Steel as default. However,
Sigma or C-profi le posts can be
implemented for other types of foundations
if the specifi c project requires it. Depending
on the substructure, the foundation can be
rammed into the ground, it can be fi lled
using concrete, or it can be mounted with a
counterweight. Setting up the foundation in
a single row enables you to better maintain
the solar farm. Likewise, the substructure
can be aligned more quickly reducing the
overall time required for installation.
Last but not least, the load distribution is
improved by the foundation‘s position in the
middle under the module table.
Unmatched cost-effectivenessOur safeFix Steel mounting system gives
you more bang for your buck, thanks to
the new and improved steel-on-steel
design. In addition, we tweaked savings
even more with our patented design for
the π mounting rail with matching rail
connectors.
Steel mounting rails feature substantially
lower heat expansion properties in
contrast to the aluminum mounting
rails commercially available today.
Furthermore, the mounting system for
single modules prevents heat stress from
building up along the mounting rail. The
special rail connectors eliminate the need
for load support between the mounting
rails during installation.
Thus, you have a nearly infi nite table
length available, and it is possible to
optimize the number of foundation posts
by maximizing the spacing between
supports.
Our range of servicesIdeemaTec offers end-to-end solutions with its mounting systems. And we consider
service as an integral part of that offer. That is why we support you through every
phase of planning, whether for standard project planning activities or for project-
specifi c engineering in which we analyze all aspects at your site and monitor the
progression of construction for the system from the beginning.
Our services cover the spectrum of requirements for large photovoltaic projects:
shading analysis, plant design, ram testing, foundation/substructure work,
installation, and commissioning.
Selected reference projects implementing fi xed mounting systems
Strict adherence to mounting specifi cationsThe new, patented system for adjusting the safeFix Steel makes
it possible in the fi rst place: The fi xing points for the specifi c
module can be adhered to precisely according to the individual
manufacturer‘s specifi cation thanks to the infi nitely adjustable
module mounting system.
