DUAL USE - AGRIVOLTAIC

A large solar panel farm with metal support structures above a grassy field.

Our advanced mounting system for solar panels is specifically designed to enable both energy generation and agriculture. GreenRack® incorporates patented technology in a fixed-tilt construction made of Green Steel.

FIXED TILT

Designed with easy and cost saving installation in mind. Virtually no manual adjustment during installation. All solar panel fixing from underneath, for easier and safer installation. With added benefit of easy maintenance. The low number of parts and nearly “poka yoke” design reduces risk of costly mistakes significantly.

Very low labour cost compared to average fixed tilt systems.

Advantages:

  • Easy installation

  • Light to handle

  • Cost effective

  • 15-year warranty against corrosion

  • Adjustable GCR*

  • Adjustable in height

  • Minimum clearance height 1,8m - 2,5m as standard, higher upon request

VERTICAL SYSTEM

Slender vertical system to maximize remaining farmable land. Self-aligning design, which eliminates all need for manual adjusting during solar panel installation.

Fast and easy panel installation without time consuming bolted connections. Saving on labour costs and shorten- ing installation lead times. Without bolted joints, no periodic checks for tightness required. Saving on maintenance and inspection costs.

Design is easily optimized for different site conditions, to reduce costs.

CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS

We also offer customized solutions to meet your specific project needs. With direct access to our factory in Moerdijk, we can shape the entire process from source to solution.

ADJUSTABLE GROUND COVERAGE RATIO

The “Ground Coverage Ratio” (GCR) is a crucial metric in optimizing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.

It measures the proportion of ground area covered by PV modules within an PV-array. GCR is calculated by dividing the collector length perpendicular to the row length (L) by the row pitch (R), expressed mathematically as
GCR = L / R. A GCR of 1 indicates complete coverage with no horizontal gaps between modules, while a GCR of 0 signifies minimal ground coverage with infinite inter-row spacing.

Greenrack GCR.

The Greenrack mounting (east-west) system makes it is easy to replace in height and in the coverage ratios (GCR) without significant increase in mounting costs.  With this unique mounting system on the market, this can be precisely tailored to the needs of the application.

Greenrack GCR applications*:

  • Agricultural application; grass, crops and the open ground cultivation with a GCR between 0.3 - 0.75.

  • Agricultural application; (hanging) crops for agroponics, hydroponics and vertical farming with a GCR between 0.3 - 0.95.

  • Water storage and buffering with minimal evaporation; GCR between 0.8 - 0.95.

  • Any specific application on customer request.

    The usable area of ​​agricultural land under the panels is 99.8% with this Greenrack system!

The GreenRack® mounting system consists of:

  • uprights

  • main beams

  • substructure

  • fastening materials

Workers installing or maintaining solar panels on a structure with muddy ground underneath.

On top of support elements, pre-assembled underframes are placed on which the solar panels are mounted. The entire structure derives its strength from a stainless-steel tension cable that ensures the vertical forces are properly supported by the support element.  

Through smart design, the materials used are optimally utilized, resulting in a lightweight construction. This contributes to a cost-efficient product and a low CO2 footprint.

Equipped with bifacial solar panels, it captures extra solar energy throughout the day. This results in increased energy yield per acre and allows for the cultivation of several crops or the keeping of livestock underneath the panels.
