SOLARBLOC® ANTI-BULKING SYSTEM

ANTI-BUCKLING SYSTEM, COMPATIBLE WITH ALL OUR SOLARBLOC® STRUCTURES

The SOLARBLOC® Anti-buckling System enhances the rigidity of larger modules by increasing the number of fixing points to six.

Using Solarbloc 0º Coplanar structures combined with metal rods and folded plates, they secure the modules at their mid-point, maximising the strength of the modules by securing them to the structure on all sides.

To solve this limitation of the module’s mounting position, the Solarbloc Anti-buckling System offers the necessary rigidity so that the module does not suffer deformations that affect its integrity. Proof of this are the satisfactory tests carried out by Pretensados Durán S.L. to check the deformations of this system.

ROOF AND FLAT SURFACE
 

Function: Fixing at the midpoint of the module’s long side in horizontal installations on Solarbloc®.


Advantage: Increases the number of fixing points to 6, providing greater rigidity to large panels.

Ideal application: Highly recommended for panels over 2 metres in length and less than 45 mm thick.

HS/18

Function: Provides an intermediate fixing point at the centre of the module’s long side using Solarbloc® Coplanar 0° structures combined with metal rods at the front and profiles at the rear.

Advantage: Ensures comprehensive fixing on all sides of the panel, stiffening the structure to prevent deformation, buckling or breakage caused by wind without altering the original tilt angle (15º, 20º, 25º or 30º)

Ideal application: Designed for solar farm installations on Solarbloc® HS/18 structures where modules are mounted horizontally and lack manufacturer approval for short-side fixing, particularly for large-format panels (length exceeding 2 metres) and frames with reduced thickness (less than 45 mm).

EAST-WEST (LOAD-RELIEVING ARCH)

Function: Provides a reinforced intermediate support point on the east-west structure using dedicated brackets and load-relieving arches for the top and inner/outer base sections, evenly distributing the loads from the solar module.

Advantage: Prevents flexing and central buckling of large solar panels without altering the tilt angle, thereby increasing the module’s mechanical stability and service life when subjected to wind and weight loads.

Ideal application: Essential for large-format solar panels (modules up to 1,134 mm wide or longer than 2 metres).

ANTI-BUCKLING DEFLECTOR

Function: Combines direct support and fixing of the module onto the metal deflector itself at the rear with a front support, creating additional fixing points.

Advantage: Effectively deflects wind flow and eliminates vibrations and buckling of the module. By resting the panel on the surface of the deflector, excellent structural rigidity and aerodynamic resistance are achieved without the need for heavy rear ballast.

Ideal application: An optional, bespoke solution (supplied on customer request) for installations where the aim is to optimise wind performance and prevent deformation of large modules, whilst maintaining a lightweight and efficient installation.
