TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a special installation ship of offshore photovoltaic component. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasing demand for renewable energy worldwide, offshore photovoltaics, as a new clean energy technology, are gradually receiving widespread attention. Offshore photovoltaic power generation projects can effectively utilize vast marine resources, reduce the occupation of land resources, and reduce the impact on the environment by constructing solar photovoltaic power generation systems in offshore, tidal flat, and other marine environments. Offshore photovoltaic components are divided into fixed and floating types, with the fixed type being constructed by manually driving concrete precast pile foundations into the seabed, installing photovoltaic supports on the pile foundations, and installing photovoltaic panels on the top surface of the photovoltaic supports.
[0003] The key and difficult points of current offshore photovoltaic component construction are:
[0004] 1.

The north-south spacing of the four pile foundations in a site is 20-30 m, and the east-west spacing is 40-50 m. To ensure the smooth installation of photovoltaic components, controlling the pile sinking accuracy is a challenge for the project. The conventional water piling method cannot meet the accuracy requirements, and reliable limiting measures must be taken to ensure accurate pile positioning.
[0005] 2. The photovoltaic panels in a photovoltaic field are usually arranged in a matrix array, and the spacing between the panels is small. Therefore, the pile foundations are also arranged in an array, and the number of pile foundations in a photovoltaic field is large, and the spacing between the pile foundations is small. It is difficult for a ship to anchor between the pile groups, and there is much cross interference.
[0006] 3. The conventional piling ship adopts a positioning and piling measure. Due to complex marine climate conditions and construction operation conditions, the relative position deviation between a group of arrayed pile foundations is large.
[0007] 4. Due to the large planar size and weight of the photovoltaic support, and the low structural strength of the photovoltaic panel, the construction ship requires good stability, strong operation capacity, and a large span for lifting and installation.
[0008] 5. After completing the pile sinking construction, the conventional ship cannot enter the field for installation of photovoltaic supports and photovoltaic panels due to the small interference between the pile foundations. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
