Introduction
The company has developed a modular ground mount system that was adopted and improved from large scale solar farms. In a time where focus has been placed on tracking systems, we have kept to a system that has ease of installation with minimum maintenance for the service life of the Plant.
The technology used by UVSS is the latest designs which results in a clean productive manufacturing environment with minimal energy consumption. We are proud to be part of the race to create a greener South Africa.
Track Record
We have supplied various Large, Medium and Small scale projects and our structures support over 300 MW of PV panels in South Africa and abroad. We have the experience and technology to design, manufacture and deliver quality cost-effective structures, with a good understanding of local conditions to supply a quality product.
We have supplied the following projects since the business started in 2015:
| Year | Country | Location | Size | Structure Type |
| 2015 -2016 | South Africa | Tom Burke | 60MW | Static |
| 2015 | South Africa | Paleisheuwel | 75 MW | Static |
| 2015 -2016 | South Africa | Adams | 82.5 MW | Static |
| 2015 -2016 | South Africa | Jacobsdal | 75 MW | Static |
| 2017 | Eritrea | Asmara | 1 MW | Static |
| 2019 | Nigeria | Lagos | 1 MW | Static |
| 2016 | South Africa | Dube Port | 750 kW | Solar Track |
| 2016 – Present | SADAC | 25 MW + in smaller applications (3.6 – 500 kW) | Static |
Our Product Offering
Our system is modular and components are kept to the minimum, this makes installation much simpler and saves cost and time on installation.
We have standardized to a single and double row Portrait (Vertical) layout from 10 to 30 ° with 5° increments. With Maximum row length of 40 Panels. This gives the PV System designer a wide range to choose form to optimize Plant Efficiency.
