The spacing between piers is generally around 1. 5 - 4 meters, mainly determined based on the size of the solar panels, the arrangement method, and the stability requirements of the structure.
Complete guide to designing rooftop and ground-mounted PV systems for wind loads per ASCE 7-16 and ASCE 7-22, including GCrn coefficients, roof zones, and the new Section 29.
As per Rule 64-210 4) requirements for wiring support, acceptable supporting means are considered to be straps or other devices located within 300 mm of every box or fitting and at intervals of not more than 1 m throughout the run. Conductors are also required to be kept clear of.

Pier foundations are a type of deep foundation used to support solar panels, particularly in challenging soil conditions. They are more environmentally friendly compared to traditional concrete foundations, as they require less excavation and use less material.
Adjustable frameworks for the support of solar PV panels and solar thermal. These versatile free-standing modular frames are supplied with our fully adjustable leg assemblies utilising M24 adjuster studs to level frames where flat roofs have greater falls or changes in height.
The international standard IEC 62446 Grid Connected PV Systems - Minimum Requirements for System Documentation, Commissioning Tests, and Inspection defines minimum documentation, commissioning tests and inspection criteria for grid-connected PV systems.
The complete step-by-step process from site prep to customer handover - including IEC 62446 commissioning requirements, torque specs, and documentation checklist. For more on the full installation workflow, see our solar panel installation guide.
Flexible photovoltaic (PV) support structures are widely used due to their large span, high land-use efficiency, low construction cost, and short construction periods. However, they exhibit low stiffness, light weight, and low damping, making them wind-sensitive and prone.
