[0002] Due to the complex conditions at sea, including the effects of waves, currents, and ice, traditional support systems have significant drawbacks in the harsh marine environment. Traditional systems rely on pile foundations, and uneven seabed geology can lead to differential settlement of the piles, causing deformation of the superstructure and even stress exceeding limits and cracking of the photovoltaic module frames. Traditional solutions also require offshore welding operations, resulting in low construction efficiency, long construction periods, and difficulties in transporting large-span platforms at sea, leading to high costs. Furthermore, offshore construction is challenging and requires sophisticated transportation equipment. Utility Model Content
