Aerocompact launches compact PV mounting systems for solar parks

15 Apr 2021 CW Staff

Aerocompact, an Austrian manufacturer of PV mounting systems, recently launched its new compact ground RAM-X product range for solar parks with more than 500 kWp output.

In addition to the high energy density, the company said that it has paid particular attention to quick assembly and maximum use of space in the series, which will be available worldwide from April.

The RAM-X2.1 two-leg system for south and east/west systems is available in three standard configurations for 6x4, 5x4 or 4x4 modules with inclines between 10 and 25°.

The RAM-X 1.1 single-leg system and the RAM-X 2.2 two-leg system, on the other hand, are suitable for lengths of up to 30 meters and module inclines between 0 and 30°. In addition, the modules of the RAM-X1.1 can be arranged either in portrait or landscape format. This increases the possible applications and lowers system costs.

With the RAM-X series, Aerocompact is relying for the first time on steel profiles coated with zinc-magnesium, which will be rammed into the ground and also go higher, which means that more energy can now be generated on the same area.

The large-area structure is also said to minimise shading, increase energy density, and makes maintenance easier. In addition, short animals can now graze under the modules.

Dhalbhumgarh Airport Faces 150-km Rule Hurdle

The issue has resurfaced following a recent statement by Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu, who said that under existing aviation policy, a new greenfield airport is generally not permitted within an aerial distance of 150 kilometres of an operational civilian airport. He added, however, that if a formal proposal is submitted, its impact on the existing airport can be examined and relaxations may be considered on a case-by-case basis. While the clarification has revived some hope for Dhalbhumgarh, it has also underlined the scale of the technical challenge facing the project. Unde..

Stakeholders Seek Parallel Ops For Vizag Airports

With road and metro rail links to Bhogapuram still several years away, stakeholders in north Andhra Pradesh have renewed demands to continue civil operations at INS Dega even after the commissioning of Bhogapuram International Airport. The new airport is expected to begin commercial operations from June. Officials said close to 80 per cent of the airport infrastructure at Bhogapuram, including the terminal building and internal approach roads, has already been completed. However, inadequate external connectivity remains a key concern. Making a case for parallel operations, Andhra Pradesh Air ..

Govt To Roll Out V2V Tech To Cut Road Crashes

In an effort to curb road accidents, particularly in low-visibility conditions such as dense fog, the government is set to roll out vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology that will allow cars to exchange real-time data and alert drivers to potential dangers. The announcement was made by Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari after the 43rd meeting of the Transport Development Council. The technology involves installing an on-board unit (OBU) in vehicles, enabling wireless data exchange between nearby cars. This will allow vehicles to share information such as spee..
