Design Of Mounting Structure For Portable Solar Generator

Abstract

The mounting structure is the supporting structure that holds the solar panels or arrays of solar panels to the ground. Mounting structures made of steel or G.I support the panels on the ground, and also tilt them at an optimal angle to receive maximum sunlight. In this project we have designed the supporting structure for mounting of the solar panel of portable solar generator. This mounting structure can survive harsh weather conditions due to its strength and proper designing of a structure. Also, this mounting structure is economically affordable. The system has low maintenance. The materials used to develop the solar generator can be easily obtained from local markets, thus reducing the cost of developing the system and making it suitable for commercial application. The increase in demand of energy, stimulated by developing countries and decrease of power sources, is leading to an unsustainable future. Thus, renewable and clean energies are necessary to be used, particularly solar energy. The main concepts of portable solar generator are to reduce installation cost and to introduce a compact design of an optimal energy sizing system.
