What are different types of solar structure?

There are several types of solar structures that are used to support solar panels and provide the necessary framework for solar installations. Here are some common types:

1. Fixed Tilt Structures: These are the simplest and most common type of solar structure. They are stationary and inclined at a fixed angle to optimize solar energy production for a particular geographic location.

2. Tracker Structures: These are solar structures that automatically move to track the sun as it moves across the sky. There are two types of solar tracker structures: Single Axis and Dual Axis. Single Axis trackers follow the sun from east to west, while Dual Axis trackers follow both the east-to-west motion as well as the daily and seasonal changes in the sun's altitude.

3. Ground Mounted Structures: These structures are designed to be installed on the ground, rather than on rooftops or other structures. They are often used for large-scale solar projects such as solar farms.

4. Pole-Mounted Structures: These structures are similar to ground-mounted structures, but are designed to be mounted on a pole or a mast. Pole-mounted solar structures are commonly used for small-scale residential solar installations.

5. Canopy Structures: These solar structures are designed to provide shade and shelter while also generating electricity. They can be installed over parking lots or outdoor gathering areas.

6. Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV): This type of solar structure is designed to be integrated into the building's architecture, such as solar roof tiles, building facades, and windows, to generate electricity while also serving as a building material.

The choice of solar structure will depend on various factors such as location, available space, energy requirements, and budget.
