INTERSOLARPRODUCTS
Following the success of the world’s biggest solar event at Intersolar in Germany, the North American event promises to consolidate industry concerns as well as the array of new products. The solar industry is at a crossroads as far as to what the future industry break down will be so companies are making all efforts to ensure their offerings are part of the future mix of the industry.
Foundation screw for all
Spanish company MECASOLAR, a designer, manufacturer and distributor of solar trackers and fixed structures, is launching their own foundation screw for solar photovoltaic installations, which has been designed and manufactured by the company. The new product, dubbed “mecascrew” will be presented shortly at Intersolar North America.
The foundation screw that MECASOLAR has added to its portfolio of products adapts at all times to the needs of the terrain and the plot of land (soft, medium and hard), after having been tested by the technical team of the company. It is also compatible with all types of fixed structures for photovoltaic installations on the market, which makes it a universal screw since the screw head can be customized for different structures. Both differential advantages give it a universal character.
The company’s extensive experience has allowed it to design a versatile foundation screw that adapts to the needs of the structures required by the customer. In addition it is made of hot galvanized steel in accordance with ISO 1461, which gives the screw maximum durability.
An advantage of this new product is that it is not necessary to use concrete for the installation of the structure, allowing easy installation, with the consequent reduction in assembly time and preparation of the plot.
In this sense, MECASOLAR highlights that their new foundation screw requires almost zero preparation of the site, since no land clearance has to be carried out, with the consequent savings in civil works. The MECASOLAR foundation screw, mecascrew, carries a 25 year warranty against corrosion for soils with pH values of 6 and higher and ohmic resistance at 800 ohm-cm, as long as the ground has not been altered with respect to the initial geotechnical conditions.
