The provided document is an installation manual for the TITAN DUO Solar Racking System by APA Solar Racking. This system is designed for ground-mounted solar panel installations, offering a robust and adaptable solution for various site conditions.
The TITAN DUO Solar Racking System serves as the structural support for photovoltaic (PV) modules, elevating them off the ground and orienting them to maximize solar energy capture. It is a dual-post, ground-mount system, meaning it utilizes two anchor posts per support point (a "short" front/South post and a "long" rear/North post) to create a stable and adjustable framework. The system is designed to accommodate multiple rows of solar panels, with components like N/S chords, EW Zee purlins, roll brackets, and various braces working together to form a rigid structure. The installation process emphasizes precision in surveying, pile installation, and component assembly to ensure the array is plumb, level, and correctly aligned with the terrain and customer plans. The system's design allows for adjustments to accommodate uneven ground and obstructions, making it versatile for different site topographies.
While specific numerical technical specifications like material grades, exact dimensions, or load capacities are not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, the manual highlights several key aspects of the system's construction and components:
The manual outlines essential Operation & Maintenance (O&M) requirements to ensure the design life and warranty of the TITAN solar racking system. These procedures should be performed annually:
