Glavne razlike med fotovoltaičnimi seizmičnimi nosilci in navadnimi fotovoltaičnimi nosilci ležijo v funkcionalni zasnovi in :
Funkcionalna zasnova
Navadni fotovoltaični oklepaji v glavnem sprejemajo gravitacijske podporne sisteme, ki nosijo samo statične obremenitve fotovoltaičnih modulov (na primer lastna teža, tlak vetra itd.
Seizmična podpora sprejme načelo trikotne stabilnosti . skozi togo strukturo, celovito nosijo vzdolžne in prečne sile, ki jih ustvarjajo potresi, zmanjšajo premik opreme in cevovodov ter znižujejo tveganje za sekundarne nesreče .}
Materiali in vzdrževanje
Ordinary brackets are mostly made of materials prone to rust (such as common steel) and require regular maintenance (such as painting and maintenance every 2-3 years). Seismic supports are usually treated with surface galvanization (such as aluminum alloy or galvanized steel), which makes them more corrosion-resistant and requires less maintenance in the later stopnja .
Veljavni scenariji
Ordinary brackets are suitable for scenarios with lower stability requirements, such as residential rooftops and small photovoltaic power stations. Seismic supports are mostly used in large ground-mounted power stations, industrial plants and other scenarios that need to cope with extreme environments or earthquake risks.
