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.

Centre Plans Nationwide Opening Of Power Retail Market

India is preparing to open up its retail electricity market to private companies nationwide, effectively ending the long-standing monopoly of state-run power distributors in most regions, according to a draft bill released by the Union Power Ministry on Friday. The move will enable major private sector players — including Adani Enterprises, Tata Power, Torrent Power, and CESC — to expand their presence across the country’s electricity distribution landscape. A similar reform attempt in 2022 had faced strong opposition from state-run distribution companies (discoms), which currently dom..
