What to prepare for a solar mounting structure quotation
A practical guide to site, module, foundation and schedule information for a solar mounting structure enquiry.
Start with the site
Identify the site location and intended use before requesting a mounting structure quotation. Share a site layout where available, together with any restrictions and access requirements. Existing geotechnical information helps the foundation discussion. If the project is at an early stage, explain which documents are available and which still need to be prepared. The team can help clarify missing inputs before a structural solution is selected.
Prepare module and configuration information
Estimated capacity provides a starting point, while module specifications help define structural geometry. Explain whether the project is a ground-mounted park, a carport or a dual-use installation. Include any specified orientation or inclination. South and East–West layouts are considered against the site and project objectives. Identify unknown inputs rather than assuming values that could affect the proposal.
Discuss foundations and structural requirements
The FORTZA Solar catalogue includes driven-pile, ballasted and drilled-pile systems. These options are not suitable for every site without assessment. Ground conditions, installation restrictions and structural requirements must be considered before selection. A catalogue product starts the discussion; it does not establish suitability for a particular site. Sizing, loading and execution details require project-specific information and technical documentation.
Clarify commercial and delivery stages
State the project stage, known quantities and expected schedule. The team can discuss analysis, design and manufacturing against those requirements. Prices, delivery and warranty terms are confirmed in the commercial offer for the requested configuration. Information from a different project should not be assumed to apply automatically. A well-documented enquiry supports a more focused technical and commercial discussion.
Frequently asked questions
What information is needed for a mounting structure quotation?
Site location, estimated capacity, site plan and module model are the starting inputs. Geotechnical information, the intended configuration and project schedule help the team clarify the structural solution and offer.
Who manufactures FORTZA Solar structures?
FORTZA Solar is the photovoltaic structures activity of FORTZA.RO SRL, established in 1997. Structural components are manufactured in our own workshops in Mediaș, Romania.
How do I choose between South and East–West layouts?
The choice is site-specific and considers ground shape, modules, row spacing and project objectives. The catalogue includes both configurations; the team helps clarify the choice during analysis.
Are alternatives to driven piles available?
Yes. The catalogue includes ballasted and drilled-pile systems alongside driven-pile structures. Foundation selection depends on geotechnical conditions and site restrictions.
