As Pakistan’s shift toward renewable energy accelerates, investing in solar technology has become more common across homes, offices, and industries. However, choosing the right solar structure type is just as important as selecting a good solar panel.
At Meerstech, we offer a wide range of solar mounting structures tailored to various installation needs. This guide will walk you through the different types of structures, materials used, and fastening options—all designed to ensure long-term reliability and performance.
What are Solar Structures?
Solar structures are the foundation that supports your solar panels, keeping them at an angle optimized for sunlight. A well-designed structure ensures your system is stable, efficient, and safe throughout its operational life.
Main Types of Solar Structures
1. L2 Solar Structure
The L2 structure is commonly used in residential rooftop systems. It is known for being compact, lightweight, and easy to install.
- Two panels can be commissioned on L2
- Cost-effective and space-efficient.
- Same material quality as larger structures.
Note: The quality of L2 is the same as L5; the only difference is the number of panels it supports.
2. L3 Solar Structure
This structure supports medium-sized solar systems, often in small offices or large homes.
- Three panels can be commissioned on L3
- Stronger framing and better tilt angles.
- Improved design for moderate-sized systems.
3. L4 Solar Structure
L4 is a reliable option for commercial or institutional buildings with higher power needs.
- Four panels can be commissioned on L4
- Strong load capacity and weather resistance.
- Great for schools, shops, and corporate offices.
4. L5 Solar Structure
This is used for larger-scale residential, commercial, and industrial projects, accommodating more solar panels without compromising strength.
- Five panels can be commissioned on L5
- Built for heavy-duty usage.
- Same quality as L2, just designed for more panels.
Material Options for Solar Structures
Galvanized Iron (GI) Structures
These are made with zinc-coated iron to resist rust and corrosion. At Meerstech, our GI structures are hot-dip galvanized for enhanced durability.
- Long life in outdoor conditions.
- Strong wind resistance.
- Great for harsh climates.
Aluminum Structures
Aluminum is another top-tier choice, particularly for rooftops that can’t bear heavy loads.
- Lightweight yet strong.
- Naturally corrosion-resistant.
- Easy to install and maintain.
Customized Solar Structures
Every rooftop is different, which is why we offer custom solar mounting solutions.
- Designed based on your rooftop layout.
- Custom tilt angles to maximize solar energy generation.
- Available in both GI and aluminum.
- Engineered for strength and precision.
Whether your roof is sloped, flat, or irregular-Meerstech designs structures that fit.
High Beam Ground Mounted Solar Structure (Used Across All Projects)
One of the most versatile and sturdy options available today is the High Beam Girder Structure. Contrary to what some may think, this isn’t only for industries—it’s used in residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Key Features:
- Built using steel I-beams or high-tensile girders.
- Excellent for elevated setups, especially where shade or airflow is a concern.
- Handles strong wind loads and variable terrain.
- Preferred when additional height or elevation is needed.
Fasteners: Quality Nut Bolts Matter
Using the right nut bolts and fasteners ensures that your solar panels stay secure for years.
At Meerstech, we focus on premium-grade materials such as:
1. SS (Stainless Steel Nut Bolts)
- Top-tier quality.
- Resistant to rust, ideal for coastal or rainy areas.
- Excellent strength and long life.
2. MS (Mild Steel Galvanized Iron Nut Bolts)
- Budget-friendly but durable.
- Zinc-coated for protection.
- Widely used in standard projects.
No matter the bolt type, Meerstech ensures all hardware is industrial grade, tested for strength and weather resistance.
