FAQ: Solar Mounting in Thailand

What’s the typical lifespan of steel supports?

Properly galvanized structures last 25-30 years – matching panel warranties.

How does soil type affect installation?

Clay-rich soils require deeper pile foundations (2.5m vs standard 1.8m).

Are tilt angles adjustable post-installation?

Modern systems allow ±15° adjustments for seasonal optimization.
