STRUKTURE: The first supporting system for photovoltaic plants in prestressed reinforced concrete

Campodarsego (ots) - STRUKTURE - Architecture for photovoltaic
installations, springs from the half-century experience that Valente
SpA has in manufacturing prestressed reinforced concrete utility
poles for agricultural uses as well as their ground anchoring.
Wide-range knowhow in the construction of support structures for
vineyards and orchards, as well as their protection against wind and
hail is a strength in STRUKTURE?s market proposal of the first-ever
concrete support system for photovoltaic panels. The supports require
no anchor or foundation; and the poles are driven directly into the
ground.

Solar farms, integrated power generation systems for agriculture,
modular parking systems, special applications on dismissed areas,
STRUKTURE designs and installs systems that are superior in
mechanical resistance, absence of corrosion and duration in
comparison to traditional steel structures.

20 YEAR WARRANTY - CONCRETE POLES WITH DNV CERTIFICATE - PATENTED
STRUCTURES - NO MAINTENANCE - DISPOSAL OF THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE AT
END-OF-LIFE - CERTIFICATION EUROCODICE 1 - NO FOUNDATION OR ANCHOR

GEKO: SELF BALLASTED MODULAR STRUCTURE IN REINFORCED CONCRETE
IDEAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOLAR FARMS ON DUMPING SITES AND LOOSE
RUGGED TERRAIN AND ON STEEP GROUND WHERE TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS ARE NOT
APPLICABLE.

STRUKTURE SRL proposes GEKO, the first modular support structure
for photovoltaic modules that is self ballasted to adhere to the
ground without foundations, anchors or grounded piles.

GEKO is a breakthrough solution in reinforced concrete ?material
that assures:

- total resistance against corrosive elements, including acidic
terrains or characterized by free currents;
- high inertia properties that make GEKO absolutely reliable even in
case of variable solicitations and vibrations (wind), despite its
anchorless structure.

An extraordinary innovation ideal for the construction of solar
farms on dumping sites and loose rugged terrain and on steep ground
where traditional systems are not applicable.

ADVANTAGES
- No foundations or anchors: self ballasted base;
- Can be positioned on loose ground that is dig resistant, with tilts
up to 50%;
- Direction easily adjusted and can be corrected in case of partial
failure of the base placed on loose ground;
- Rapid positioning thanks to its modularity and factory pre-assembly
of the photovoltaic modules;
- Use of non-corrosive and fully-recyclable materials
- Broad system versatility thanks to the modularity and adjustability
of each component.

MODULAR ELEMENT CONFIGURATION FOR GEKO STANDARD

The GEKO standard modular element supports 5 horizontal and 2
vertical modules, for a total of 10 photovoltaic panels. The
structure comprises one base, 4 cross members and 4 longitudinal
members

Each plant is sized to withstand wind push and snow encumbrance
according to the specific conditions of the installation site. Each
plant comes with a 20-year Guarantee Certificate and the plant
disposal declaration once it has reached end of life.
