Many businesses have untapped potential on their premises unused commercial land or vacant lots that could be harnessed for solar energy. However, a significant barrier often stands in their way: the market for open space photovoltaic systems primarily focuses on large scale projects, leaving small and medium sized businesses with few viable options.
As Philipp Gentner, Product Development & Project Manager at PMT, notes, "A central issue in the market is that companies often receive rejections or no response at all when inquiring about smaller systems." This means valuable space goes unused and businesses are unable to generate their own sustainable energy.
To bridge this gap, Premium Mounting Technologies (PMT) has introduced PMT TITAN, a flexible and highly customizable mounting system specifically designed to make solar accessible and financially feasible for businesses of all sizes.
Engineered for Flexibility: Adapting to Any Space
Open spaces on company premises often do not provide the ideal, uniform conditions required for standard mounting systems. Retrofitting these systems can be costly and time-consuming, making smaller projects unfeasible. PMT TITAN overcomes this with a smart, modular design that is flexible and adaptable.
- Telescopic Purlins: The system's true innovation lies in its telescopic purlins. Each purlin consists of an inner and outer section that can slide, allowing for adjustable table widths from 3390 mm to 11600 mm without needing to cut or modify material on-site.
- Customizable Table Sizes: The system can be configured to fit module dimensions of up to 2500 mm in length and 1350 mm in width, accommodating a wide variety of panel sizes. Installations are easily achievable in spaces starting from just 3150 mm in width and 6000 mm in depth.
- Stepless Tilt Adjustment: To maximize energy yield, modules can be continuously adjusted between 10 and 20 degrees using a perforated grid system. The piles are available in various lengths to adapt to ground conditions, and the system can compensate for uneven terrain, eliminating the need for costly groundwork.
Rethinking Installation: Speed, Safety, and Simplicity
PMT TITAN is designed to significantly reduce installation time and enhance safety through several innovative features.
- Innovative Clamping System: Unlike conventional methods that rely on bolts, PMT TITAN uses an innovative clamping system. The cross clamp hooks directly into the purlin's contour, creating a stable connection without the need for drilling or cutting, which speeds up the intuitive assembly process.
- Bottom Up Mounting: To protect solar modules from microcracks, a frequent issue with top-down installation methods, PMT TITAN features a bottom-up mounting system. Installing module clamps from below greatly reduces excessive pressure on the panels and makes ongoing maintenance safer and easier for technicians.
- Fast and Intuitive Assembly: As a standardized system, PMT TITAN has high availability and fast delivery times. The design minimizes the number of parts, includes pre-assembled components, and uses simple connection mechanisms to guide installers effortlessly through the setup.
Built to Last with a Sustainable Approach
Durability and sustainability are at the core of the PMT TITAN design.
- Advanced Weather Protection: All components are coated with ZM310, a durable protective layer that shields against environmental impacts. This special coating also has a self healing effect, ensuring that minor scratches repair themselves over time.
- Resource-Efficient Materials: The primary material is steel, chosen because it is relatively energy efficient in both production and recycling. The company also utilizes optimized logistics to ensure only essential transportation routes are used, reducing emissions.
- Rigorous Testing: Every element has undergone rigorous testing at PMTs in-house test center to guarantee maximum safety and durability.
As COO Jörg Weber-Schorsch states, We have consistently received feedback from small businesses and project developers about their challenges. Instead of ignoring them, we develop solutions. PMT TITAN is our answer to their needs.
With its smart design, modular flexibility, and sustainable approach, PMT TITAN provides an accessible gateway to renewable energy, empowering small and medium sized businesses to finally embrace solar without unnecessary complexity or cost.
