Whether Solar Mount Axial Tracker Shock Absorbers can adapt to installation requirements under different conditions depends on their design flexibility, material selection, and the manufacturer's customization capabilities. The following is a detailed analysis of their adaptability from multiple perspectives:
Adaptability to terrain conditions
Flat terrain
In flat terrain (such as open ground power stations), the design of shock absorbers is usually more standardized because the installation environment is relatively simple and the force distribution is uniform.
The shock absorbers only need to meet basic earthquake and wind resistance requirements and are more adaptable.
Mountainous or sloping land
In mountainous or sloping environments, solar mounts may need to be installed at an angle, resulting in changes in the torque and direction of the shock absorbers.
High-performance shock absorbers usually have adjustable angle designs to adapt to different tilt angles and load distributions.
For example, some shock absorbers can cope with irregular terrain by adjusting the installation position or using flexible connectors.
Desert or coastal areas
The high temperature and dust in desert areas will place higher requirements on the sealing and durability of shock absorbers.
High humidity and salt spray in coastal areas may cause corrosion of metal parts, so it is necessary to select corrosion-resistant materials (such as stainless steel or galvanized steel) or use anti-corrosion coatings.
Adaptability to climatic conditions
Extreme temperatures
The material of the shock absorber must be able to withstand extreme temperature changes (such as high or low temperatures) to avoid performance degradation due to thermal expansion and contraction.
Common high-performance materials include:
Rubber-like materials: Suitable for mild climates, but may harden or age at extreme temperatures.
Polyurethane materials: Have better temperature resistance and wear resistance, suitable for a wider temperature range.
Hydraulic or pneumatic systems: Shock absorption is achieved through liquid or gas media, and is less sensitive to temperature changes.
Strong winds or blizzards
In high wind speed areas (such as coastal or plateau areas), shock absorbers need to have higher load-bearing capacity and dynamic response speed.
The design usually adopts a larger travel range and a stronger damping coefficient to absorb greater vibration energy.
For snowy or frozen environments, shock absorbers need to have anti-freeze functions and be able to withstand additional weight loads.
Adaptability to load conditions
Single-axis vs. dual-axis trackers
Single-axis trackers rotate primarily in one direction, so the design of the shock absorber is relatively simple and usually only needs to deal with horizontal or vertical vibrations.
Dual-axis trackers involve movement in two directions, so the design of the shock absorber is more complex as it needs to deal with multiple forces at the same time.
Manufacturers usually provide dedicated shock absorption solutions based on the tracker type.
Different PV module sizes
PV modules of different types (such as standard size, half-cut panels or bifacial modules) may have different weights and wind loads.
The load-bearing capacity of the shock absorber needs to be adjusted according to the module specifications to ensure that it can work properly under various load conditions.
Dynamic vs. static loads
Dynamic loads (such as wind vibration or earthquake) require the shock absorber to have a fast response capability, while static loads (such as the weight of the module) are more concerned with long-term stability.
Modern shock absorbers usually combine hydraulic, pneumatic or spring technology to meet both dynamic and static load requirements.
In practical applications, it is recommended to select the appropriate shock absorber according to the specific project requirements and work closely with the manufacturer to ensure the best results. If you encounter special scenarios (such as extreme climate or multi-axis trackers), you can consider customized solutions to further optimize performance.
