Imagine trying to build a solar farm on unstable ground - it'd be like trying to balance champagne glasses on a wobbling dinner table. This is where ground mount solar steel structures become the unsung heroes of renewable energy projects. Tianjin Shengteng International Trade has been turning this structural magic into an art form, particularly through their 4.25MW photovoltaic projects along China's southern coast.
While some companies struggle with basic I-beam production, Shengteng's workshops hum with robotic welders crafting specialized C-section beams. Their secret sauce? A proprietary alloy blend that reduces material weight by 18% while maintaining load-bearing capacity - perfect for sites with challenging soil conditions.
Let's talk numbers from recent tenders. For a typical 1MW installation:
Shengteng's crown jewel near Shanwei City features 14,800 steel supports holding 72,000 photovoltaic panels. The kicker? Installation crews completed structural work in 47 days flat - 22% faster than industry averages. How? Pre-fabricated components that snap together like giant Lego blocks.
While domestic projects keep workshops busy, Shengteng's international division has been quietly conquering Southeast Asian markets. Their secret weapon? Container-friendly modular designs that slash shipping costs by 40% compared to conventional systems.
The industry's moving toward bifacial panel compatibility - essentially solar panels that work like double-sided toast. Shengteng's response? Adjustable-height structures that allow for optimal light capture on both sides. It's like giving solar panels a yoga mat and telling them to do downward dog.
Recent operational data shows their coastal installations require 30% less maintenance than competitors'. The magic lies in:
With Tianjin Port handling 70% of their international shipments, Shengteng's mastered the art of just-in-time delivery. Their warehouse near Binhai New Area stocks enough components to outfit three mid-sized solar farms simultaneously. Pro tip: They've even developed weather-resistant packaging that could probably survive a monsoon season.
Facing a site with 35-degree slopes? Shengteng engineers recently created helical pile foundations that drill into hillsides like giant corkscrews. For flood-prone areas, they've developed telescoping support columns that rise with water levels - solar panels that literally float on demand.
The Mubuga Solar Power Station is a grid-connected 7.5 MW power plant in . The power station was constructed between January 2020 and October 2021, by Gigawatt Global Coöperatief, the Netherlands-based multinational (IPP), through its local subsidiary Gigawatt Global Burundi SA. The off-taker for this power station is Régie de production et distribution d’eau et d’électricité (), the Burundian electricity u. [pdf]
The power station is located in the settlement of Mubuga, in the Gitega Province of Burundi, approximately 15.2 kilometres (9 mi), northeast of the city of Gitega, the political capital of that country. This power station is the first grid-connected solar project developed by an IPP in Burundi.
The pioneering 7.5 MW solar PV plant has increased Burundi’s generation capacity by over 10%, and is the country’s first substantial energy generation project to go online in over three decades, supplying clean power to tens of thousands of homes and businesses – just before the start of COP26.

7.5 MW utility-scale power plant increases East African country’s generation capacity by more than 10% on the eve of COP26 Gitega, Burundi – 25 October 2021: A multinational effort to bring solar power to Burundi has been realized with the commercial operation of the country’s first-ever solar field.
Another estimated 25-50 people were hired to operate the power station. In May 2023, Evariste Ndayishimiye, the president of Burundi toured the solar farm and personally gave his approval for the power station's capacity to be expanded to 15 megawatts.
According to Geoff Sinclair, Managing Director of Camco Clean Energy, which manages REPP: "Once built, the solar plant will add nearly 15% to Burundi’s generation capacity using clean energy." (This passage directly answers the question about the impact on the energy sector.)
Hexatron Technology is an innovative & dynamic organization that keeps exploring, developing and commercializing sustainable, innovative, cost-effective, practical clean energy solutions and technologies.
