7MW Aluminum Solar Ground Mounting System in Portugal

Portugal’s solar sector reaches new heights with YIJIA SOLAR’s 7MW Aluminum Ground Mounting System, a pioneering project redefining utility scale solar efficiency in Southern Europe. This installation underscores YIJIA SOLAR’s leadership in delivering lightweight, corrosion resistant solutions tailored to Iberia’s coastal and arid climates.  

 Project Overview  

Designed for Portugal’s Alentejo region—a solar hot spot with 2,900+ annual sunlight hours—the YIJIA SOLAR engineered system deploys 21,000+ bifacial panels on recyclable aluminum racks. The modular design generates 11.2 GWh annually, powering 3,200 Portuguese homes while displacing 8,400 tons of CO₂ emissions.  

 Technical Innovations  

1. YIJIA SOLAR’s Aluminum Advantage:  

    EN AW6063T6 alloy structures reduce weight by 40% vs. steel, cutting transportation/logistics costs by 25%.  

    Saltspray certified (ISO 9227) for 30year coastal durability, ideal for Portugal’s Atlanticfacing sites.  

2. Adaptive Installation:  

    Hybrid foundations (ground screws or concrete blocks) enable deployment across rocky or sandy terrains, achieving 98% land use efficiency.  

    Adjustable tilt (10°–35°) and clearance (0.5–1.2m) optimize agrivoltaic compatibility, aligning with EU’s FarmtoFork strategy.  

 Market Impact  

 Cost Efficiency: Achieves €1.7M annual savings with 6year ROI under Portugal’s Renováveis 2030 incentives.  

 Circular Economy: 95% recyclable components meet EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan targets.  

YIJIA SOLAR continues to drive Portugal’s green transition, proving that lightweight engineering and industrial scale solar can coexist sustainably.
