Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic flexible support technology, specifically a steel cable anchor and photovoltaic flexible support system. Background Technology

[0002] Existing solar photovoltaic (PV) support systems typically have their main support structure erected on concrete pile foundations, with the distance between each pile foundation usually not exceeding 8 meters. Therefore, the entire support system occupies a large area, hindering comprehensive land utilization. To address this issue, engineers have developed a prestressed steel cable PV support system. This system uses steel cables as support components, reducing the number of supporting pile foundations and enabling large-span support structures while occupying less ground space. Because it uses steel cables instead of conventional rigid materials such as square steel, it is also called a flexible PV support system. Due to terrain slope, it is difficult to achieve a uniform horizontal level between the end units over long distances. Therefore, a slight inclination exists after the steel cables are tensioned, resulting in unevenness of the PV module mounting brackets fixed to the cables, affecting the rapid assembly of the PV modules, and requiring further improvement.
