Conergy’s Free Field Solar Racking Systems: Designed for Speed

As part of Conergy’s portfolio of solar racking systems, Conergy offers two Conergy-manufactured free field solar racking systems and additional racking systems by other manufacturers. As a large solar energy project developer, construction manager and formerly as a large project system integrator, Conergy knows that installation speed is essential for developing large projects. That is why our free-field solar racking systems are specifically designed to increase installation speed while improving system durability, safety and yield.

SolarGiant III: Conergy’s Ballasted Free-Field Solar Racking System

Designed for large solar energy installations that demand time-efficient installation, Conergy’s SolarGiant makes structure assembly, module installation and array grounding exceptionally easy and fast. The all-aluminum SolarGiant combines excellent application versatility with a durable, efficient and a low maintenance design. The entire system is engineered to provide exceptional strength while minimizing raw material for maximum economy and cost-effectiveness. Available in 2-leg and larger 3-leg configurations, SolarGiant achieves flexible system design and cost-effectiveness. It is designed for ease of use on the most difficult sites and soil conditions where driven pile is not possible or proves too costly. Benefits of the SolarGiant solar racking system are:

• Perfect for landfills, brownfield and difficult soil conditions
• Unique slide-in rails for exceptional speed of module installation
• Two people can easily assemble racking from above the ballast – with no mechanical lifting device required
• Low maintenance design
• Decreases material costs
• Custom Electriwedge module grounding solution
• The ballasted system design of the SolarGiant offers a variety of flexible mounting configurations for a wide range of soil conditions: Ballast, auger or conventional anchoring available
• Anchoring to formed and poured concrete on-ground or in-ground
• In-ground mounting in concrete caissons
• Surface attachment to concrete caissons sunk into the soil
• Anchoring to earth auger
• Helical pier installation also available

SolarLinea: Conergy’s Driven Pile, Free Field Solar Racking System

Conergy’s SolarLinea racking systems are designed for exceptionally fast site preparation and installation in order to substantially improve the economics for commercial-scale solar energy projects. The Conergy’s light-weight micropiles are designed to reduce both material costs and equipment costs. While the pre-assembled and pre-fabricated parts reduce labor and installation time. The SolarLinea product line consists of the SolarLinea Single Post (S) and the SolarLinea Dual Post (D)..  

The key benefits of the SolarLinea are:

• Proprietary, lighter-weight foundation micropiles that can be used with standard S-4 ramming dies – maintain strength while lowering costs
• Pre-assembled parts tailored for individual projects – no onsite cutting or drilling required
• Quick assembly with minimal tools required
• Minimizes or eliminates earth work or grading by accomodating varations in terrain of ± 10°
• Flexible module layout
• 10-year limited warranty
• Conergy engineering and logistics support

SolarLinea S: Single post design for free field solar racking

The SolarLinea S is a designed for use on sites with maximum module density and can be one of the most economical options for ground-mount systems. Thanks to the Conergy base rails and the height adjustment feature of the adapters, minimal site excavation or modification is required. The single post solar racking system allows shoulder level installation and assembly. Assisting in the ease of installation, the SolarLinea solar racking system uses lighter, easier to handle posts than similar competitive products.  

SolarLinea D: Dual post design for free field solar racking

The SolarLinea D stands out with its unique two-pile profile. The dual-pile design allows for lighter and shorter piles, making them easier to handle and requiring less labor and equipment.

As with all Conergy manufactured products, the Conergy SolarLinea racking systems and the SolarGiant have maximum safety features. They are tested for stability and statics in accordance with technical guidelines and standards. As a manufacturer, Conergy provides full technical support to our customers including:

• Comprehensive structural analysis, verification and design
• Structural analyses based on relevant codes and local site conditions
• Full drawing and documentation support
• Delivery planning and logistics
• Referrals to specialists and suppliers such as geotechnical, pile-driving, concrete fabricators, etc.
• Application engineering support, including PE certification for an additional cost

Additional Free Field Solar Racking Systems

Conergy also offers additional solar racking systems from DP&W and Unirac:

• DP&W Top of Pole Mounts
• DP&W Multi-Pole-Mounts
• Unirac - U-LA
