📏 Alegerea structurii de montaj potrivite nu este doar o decizie de achiziție – este o investiție în performanță, siguranță și durabilitate.

Iată 3 bune practici de urmat când alegi furnizorul de structuri metalice pentru un parc fotovoltaic în România:

🏗️ 1. Alege parteneri cu experiență locală în proiectare și producție
Condițiile locale cer soluții locale. Un furnizor care cunoaște topografia, zonele de vânt și tipurile de sol din România va reduce riscurile și va accelera implementarea.
✅ Bonus: Susții industria locală și reduci amprenta de CO₂ din transport.

🔎 2. Evaluează mai mult decât prețul: aprofundează partea de inginerie
Două structuri pot arăta similar, dar comportamentul sub sarcină, toleranțele acceptate și ușurința în instalare pot varia considerabil.
✅ Întreabă: Este proiectată pentru realitățile specifice terenului? Include verificare statică și conformare cu Eurocod și standardele locale? Se adaptează ușor în caz de modificări de layout?

🛡️ 3. Înțelege strategia de protecție anticorozivă
În România avem o varietate mare de tipuri de sol — de la argilă la zone saline.
✅ Bună practică: Cere recomandarea clasei de coroziune, întreabă despre grosimea stratului protectiv Magnelis® sau zincării la cald și solicită documentația tehnică.

💡 La Eplan Solar și Electraplan, proiectăm și furnizăm structuri gândite pentru România, Ungaria și Europa.

📏 Sourcing the right mounting structure is not just a procurement task — it’s an investment in performance, reliability, and long-term value.

Here are 3 smart practices to follow when selecting your structure supplier in Romania:

🏗️ 1. Choose partners with local design + manufacturing expertise
Local conditions = local solutions. A supplier familiar with Romanian topography, wind zones, and soil profiles will minimize site-specific risks and speed up delivery timelines.
✅ Bonus: It supports local industry and reduces CO₂ from transport.

🔎 2. Look beyond the price tag: evaluate engineering depth
Two systems may look similar, but how they behave under load, tolerate tolerances, and simplify installation differs greatly.
✅ Ask: Is the structure pre-engineered for site slope? Does it include static verification, European and local codes? How flexible is it during layout changes?

🛡️ 3. Understand the corrosion protection strategy
Romania has diverse soil conditions — from clay to saline areas.
✅ Good practice: Ask for corrosion class recommendations, see if Magnelis®or HDG coatings are appropriate, and demand documentation.

💡 At Eplan Solar and Electraplan, we design and supply mounting systems that are engineered for Romania, Hungary and Europe.

📏 Continuăm să optimizăm LCOE? Iată încă 3 greșeli frecvente în proiectarea structurilor de montaj fotovoltaic:

🔩 1. Lipsa unei strategii de protecție anticorozivă
Solurile acide sau locațiile maritime pot distruge structura în câțiva ani dacă nu sunt luate în calcul.
✅ Soluție: Alege tipul de oțel și tratamentul corespunzător (Zn, ZnAlMg, galvanizare la cald) în funcție de condițiile de coroziune specifice terenului.

📐 2. Designuri prea rigide
Dacă structura nu permite ajustări rapide în șantier, apar întârzieri și costuri suplimentare.
✅ Soluție: Folosește soluții modulare și profile standardizate, ușor de adaptat în teren.

🚫 3. Ignorarea rutelor de cabluri și împământare
Un detaliu „uitat” prea des, care afectează siguranța și mentenanța.
✅ Soluție: Integrează tăvi de cablu, elemente de împământare și bonding din faza de proiectare.

💡 La Eplan Solar & Electraplan, nu proiectăm doar structuri – ci soluții care rezistă, se instalează ușor și optimizează fiecare etapă a proiectului.

📏 Still optimizing LCOE in your PV project? Here are 3 more pitfalls we often see in mounting structure design:

🔩 1. Lack of corrosion strategy
No two sites are alike — ignoring soil aggressiveness or coastal environments leads to early degradation.
✅ Solution: Choose the right steel grade and coating system (Zn, ZnAlMg, HDG) based on site-specific corrosion class.
▶️ See more about Magnelis® corrosion protection by ArcelorMittal

📐 2. Inflexible design assumptions
Designs that don’t allow for last-minute layout changes cause delays and cost overruns.
✅ Solution: Use modular systems and standard lengths that can be adapted on-site without structural compromise.

🚫 3. Overlooking cable management & grounding
An afterthought for many, but poor planning = safety risks and messy O&M.
✅ Solution: Integrate cable trays, grounding lugs, and bonding plans from the start of your structure design.

💡 At Eplan Solar & Electraplan, we don’t just engineer structures — we engineer performance and long-term savings.

📏 Vrei să reduci LCOE-ul în următorul tău proiect fotovoltaic?

Structurile de montaj contează mai mult decât pare – influențează performanța sistemului, costurile de mentenanță și fiabilitatea în timp.
Iată 3 greșeli frecvente de evitat:

🔧 1. Subestimarea variațiilor de teren
✅ Alege structuri flexibile care urmează panta naturală fără să adauge costuri inutile.

🌬️ 2. Ignorarea condițiilor locale de vânt și zăpadă
✅ Simulează încărcările conform Eurocode pentru un design optimizat și sigur.

🔩 3. Structuri prea complexe
✅ Mizează pe soluții modulare, rapide la instalare și cu mai puține riscuri în șantier.

💡 La Eplan Solar & Electraplan, știm că fiecare megawatt, euro contează – și fiecare detaliu din structură poate face diferența.

☀️ Summer’s here – and so is the heat, the holidays, and... sometimes the storms.

While PV parks are busy soaking up the sun and generating clean energy, unpredictable summer weather can test the durability of their foundations. Strong winds, sudden storms, and heat extremes don’t take a vacation.

🌩️ But when your installation is built on a solid, engineered structure, you can enjoy your holiday with more peace of mind.

At Eplan Solar & Electraplan, we believe that robust mounting structures aren’t just about performance – they’re about security, resilience, and sleeping better at night.

Because the sun should shine on your projects and your downtime. 🌞

🌬️ Wind isn’t just weather—it’s a critical design parameter.

At Eplan Solar and Electraplan E-SOLAR, we take wind seriously.

To ensure long-term reliability and cost-effectiveness of photovoltaic parks, aerodynamic forces must be at the core of our structural design process. That’s why we incorporate advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) wind simulations into PV park design where it matters most—particularly for projects with large module surfaces or exposed terrain conditions.

These simulations help us:

· Understand wind loads with high accuracy

· Optimize steel consumption without compromising safety

· Adapt anchoring solutions to specific terrain conditions

· Minimize shading and torsion effects in exposed environments

🔧 East-West vs South-Facing Fixed Tilt Mounting Structures – When and Why?

In utility-scale PV parks, the orientation of your fixed tilt mounting system can make a big difference. Here's a quick breakdown:

🌅 East-West Orientation
✅ Best suited for sites with land constraints or when aiming to maximize surface usage (low inter-row spacing).
✅ Provides a more balanced energy output across the day – reducing peak load pressure and better aligning with residential or commercial consumption patterns.
🔁 Often favored in high land-cost regions or flat terrain where shading can be easily managed.

🌞 South-Facing Orientation
✅ Optimized for maximum energy yield per module – particularly effective in low-latitude locations.
✅ Fewer structures needed per MW compared to EW, so lower steel consumption in some layouts.
🔁 Ideal when the land footprint is not a limiting factor and energy production maximization is the goal.

🧭 Choosing the right system is never one-size-fits-all. It's about geography, grid requirements, CAPEX, and long-term energy strategy.

What’s your experience with these two? Let's exchange thoughts!
