1. Introduction
In any solar mounting system, especially for ground-mounted and tilted rooftop installations, the Leg Base forms the essential support structure that elevates and stabilizes the solar panels. At Jeho Ashar Energy, the leg base is more than just a physical anchor—it is a strategic element in delivering robust, climate-adaptive solar solutions across Nigeria and other African regions.
2. What is a Leg Base?The Leg Base is the foundational part of the mounting structure that:
-
- Supports the vertical frame or tilted racking of solar panels
-
- Transfers mechanical loads (weight, wind, vibrations) to the building or ground
-
- Allows for adjustment of panel tilt angle
-
- Anchors the entire solar array securely
Leg bases are typically made from materials like hot-dip galvanized steel or aluminum alloy, chosen for their strength and resistance to corrosion.
3. Importance in Solar Installations
The Leg Base is critical because it:
-
- Provides elevation and clearance beneath panels for airflow, reducing overheating
-
- Ensures panel stability and resistance to high winds or heavy rain
-
- Allows the system to be custom-fitted to uneven surfaces (e.g., sloped roofs or unlevel ground)
-
- Enables modular expansion, allowing new panels to be added easily
4. Jeho Ashar Energy’s Leg Base Solution
