Design work for a project under discussion. The figures below come from our own layout and calculations. They are design values, not readings taken from a running installation.

Solar power. Reliable water.Built around your farm.
Explore your solar pumping system. From the array and mounting structure to power control and site installation.
Switch views to explore each part of the system. The 3D example shows three tables serving one 30 kW pump.
Loading the 3D view...
Single- and double-row arrangement: 15 + 30 + 30 modules, with five independent strings of 15 modules. Site cables run underground; no above-ground cable trays or dedicated tray supports are included. Transparent ground reveals the schematic cable routes. Burial depth, foundations and equipment positions remain subject to detailed installation design.
PROJECT CONFIGURATION
One project. Five pumping systems.
Single- and double-row ST5 tables support the required array sizes. A 30-module table carries two separate 15-module strings. Each system retains its own DC combiner and control cabinet.
Assembled length of each rail line17.60 mEach rail line is assembled from four 4.40 m lengths. A 15-module table has two rail lines; a 30-module table has four. This is not the total rail quantity per table.

60 modules: 30 + 30. 75 modules: 15 + 30 + 30. 90 modules: 30 + 30 + 30. With 15 modules per string, the 60-, 75- and 90-module systems have four, five and six strings respectively. The project totals 2 single-row tables plus 12 double-row tables: 14 tables, 26 strings and 390 modules / 253.50 kWp at 650 W. The 3D shows the 75-module example.

DAYTIMESolar pumping
◐NIGHTWaiting for sunlight
The maintained selection permits operation to resume the next day. Water-level, temperature and fault protection take priority.
Protection takes priority. Low water, a full tank, faults or overtemperature stop the pump as defined by the control logic. The design uses a 50°C actual upper air-temperature limit at the drive inlet, a red alarm and manual reset after cooling. Continuous operation at 55°C ambient is not specified.
STRUCTURE & MATERIALS
A practical mounting arrangement.
Standard sections and matched module clamps. Manufacturing drawings define dimensions, holes and assembly details.

Supplier ST5 · S350GD
C80 × 40 × 10 · t 1.8 mm
Rails and inclined beams follow the supplier drawing. Posts and diagonals: C60 × 40 × 10 × 1.8 mm.
02
Six support frames per table
3,150 mm frame spacing
The restored arrangement shows separate front- and rear-leg bases: 12 foundations per table, or 36 in the three-table example. Base components and anchors are schematic; final details follow the confirmed supplier drawings.
03
Rear bracing and accessories
U21 × 1.5 mm · Standard clamps
Rear X bracing at both end bays. Coating specification and matched module-clamp details follow the final supplier documentation.
Embedded concrete foundations
The original 10 September drawing uses separate front and rear foundations and marks a 200 mm buried portion. It does not specify block length, width or total height. GL 500 mm refers to module clearance above ground, not the concrete block width. The displayed block is schematic; foundation dimensions require a supplier detail.

Underground site cables
Array leads descend to underground routes towards the equipment room. Above-ground cable trays, tray lids, band clamps and dedicated tray supports are excluded. Burial depth, cable suitability and any required ducts will be defined with the site installation details.
Protective earthing
The common earth strip is fixed along the outside faces of the end-side metal posts. Five downleads in the 75-module example connect directly to the strip through crimp lugs. The strip, fixings and basic bonding materials are included in the proposed scope; the site earth electrode and site works are separate. Strip section, joints and any restraint between tables remain installation details.
Customer-built equipment room
The customer has confirmed a local room for the DC combiner and pump control cabinet. The open room envelope is illustrative. Building dimensions, ventilation and cable-entry details will be coordinated during detailed design.
ENGINEERING, WITH TRACEABILITY
Engineering behind the proposal.
Engineering documents will be uploaded as their revised versions are completed. The current 3D proposal is provided for arrangement review and confirmation.
STRUCTURAL LOAD REPORT120km/h
Wind design target
The ST5 structural load report is pending. It will assess the mounting members, connections, anchors and foundations against the confirmed site conditions and design criteria.
PENDING ENGINEERING REVIEW · REPORT TO FOLLOW
Member strength and stability
Pending review
Structural assessment must cover the single- and double-row ST5 mounting arrangement.
Connections and deformation
Pending review
Connection forces, restraint assumptions and deformation limits will be checked in the structural report.
Foundation bearing and stability
Site data required
Final verification will use the confirmed ground level, soil conditions, reinforcement and foundation details.
ST5 structural load report
Pending review
The completed report will be uploaded here after engineering review.
Standards and scope Design reference, not a certificate
Scope. We supply the equipment package: modules, mounting, drive cabinet, cabling, protection and the shipping documents, FOB China through audited partner factories. Drilling, pipework, civil foundations and site installation are not in our scope and stay with the local contractor.
