Solar bracket pull-out inspection ratio

What are solar panel pull-out tests?

These tests focus on verifying the stability and load-bearing capacity of panel anchoring in the field, which is essential to ensure resistance to wind, snow loads, and other natural elements. The main purpose of pull-out tests is to ensure that the anchoring system is strong enough to support the structure for the solar panels.

What is a pull-out test?

The main purpose of pull-out tests is to ensure that the anchoring system is strong enough to support the structure for the solar panels. The results of the tests allow us to evaluate whether the anchoring system is suitable for installation and whether it provides the necessary stability against pull-out under maximum load.

What does the maximum value of a pull-out anchor mean?

The maximum value recorded indicates the degree of resistance of the anchor to pull-out. Each test point is carefully documented, including GPS coordinates, length of pins used, and the load achieved. This data is then analysed to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the anchor system.

What are the maximum load values achieved during pull-out tests?

Different maximum load values were achieved during the pull-out tests, allowing Greenbuddies engineers to compare the performance of anchors of different lengths in different field conditions. For example, anchor lengths of 1190 mm recorded values of up to 2322 kg, indicating high resistance to pull-out, while shorter pins achieved lower values.
