Tokushima 366.6 kW Ground Mount Solar Project

Project reference · Tokushima, Japan
366.6 kW Fixed-Tilt PV Installation

This project reference shows how a 940-module array was arranged across an irregular site using several table sizes, a 15° fixed tilt and a ground-screw foundation concept. The published values below are specific to this project and should not be reused as design values for another site.

Key design inputs from the project documents

The project package records the electrical capacity, module dimensions, structural tilt and environmental inputs used for the mounting design.

Site layout

Multiple table sizes were used to fit the available site

The modules are distributed across several array zones rather than a single rectangular field. The mounting package records 23 structural tables, including standard and irregular geometries.

PV array zones across the Tokushima site

The layout uses repeated table structures across separate areas of the site.

  • Table depth: mainly four module rows
  • Largest standard table: 4 × 23
  • Irregular table: 8 × 20 minus 28 modules

Mounting structure

Fixed-tilt aluminum structure with braced supports

The drawings show framed modules fixed to aluminum rails with module clamps. Rail clamps, beams, pillars and diagonal braces form the load path to the foundation.

Materials and interfaces recorded for this project

  • Main members: AL6005-T5

  • Foundation interface: screw + base connection
Foundation

Ground-screw dimensions are project-specific

The quotation package records 320 ground screws. The project drawings also state that final foundation selection should be based on geotechnical investigation or on-site testing.

Reference screw information

  • Quantity: 320
  • Material: Q235B steel
  • Reference length: 1600 mm
  • Flange diameter: 200 mm
  • Wall thickness: 3 mm
  • Final selection: subject to soil / field verification
The 1600 mm length is a reference from this project, not a standard value for other sites.

Connection detail

Module, rail, brace and foundation changes must stay coordinated

Why coordination matters

Module dimensions, table geometry, rail spans, pillar spacing, bracing and foundation reactions are interdependent. A change to the module or layout should therefore be reviewed against the structural configuration and bill of materials rather than treated as an isolated substitution.

Reference condition: 1840 × 1030 × 32 mm module at 15° fixed tilt.

Planning a site-specific ground mounting layout?

Share the module datasheet, site plan, target tilt, wind and snow requirements, and available geotechnical or field-test information so the mounting configuration can be reviewed against the actual project conditions.
