Project Spotlight｜Building Solar Foundations in Sea Winds: Grace Solar Mounting Systems Take Root in Chiba, Japan

In Chiba Prefecture of Japan’s Kanto region, multiple ground-mounted power plants using Grace Solar aluminum alloy photovoltaic mounting systems have been successfully constructed and connected to the grid. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, Chiba faces persistent sea winds and salt mist year-round, posing serious challenges to the corrosion resistance and structural strength of PV mounts. Leveraging specialized mounting solutions and agile localization services, Grace Solar has established a stable and efficient solar array.

Anti-Corrosion Design

Tailored to Chiba’s marine climate with high salt mist and humidity, Grace Solar optimized the surface treatment and structural sealing of its mounting systems. The aluminum alloy structure features multi-layer anti-corrosion coating, and critical connection points are designed to resist salt mist, effectively blocking corrosive agents and ensuring long-term structural stability and performance in highly corrosive environments.

Wind-Resistant

Chiba frequently experiences monsoons and typhoons, creating complex wind pressure conditions. Through wind tunnel simulations and structural analysis, Grace Solar optimized the wind resistance design of its mounting systems, reinforcing joints and improving load distribution, enabling stable performance under strong wind loads and ensuring plant safety during severe weather.

Coastal-Optimized

Considering soft soil and high groundwater levels in coastal areas, Grace Solar provided tailored foundation solutions and installation techniques to ensure mounting system stability under complex geological conditions. The lightweight aluminum material and modular design also significantly improved construction efficiency and adaptability in coastal environments.

The successful implementation of these projects reaffirms the reliability and adaptability of Grace Solar products in harsh conditions. Moving forward, we remain committed to providing professional and reliable mounting solutions for PV projects across diverse global environments, offering solid support for the development of green energy.
