However, there&#8217;s an equally essential component that often goes unnoticed: the <strong>supporting structure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These structures are subjected to constant dynamic loads. To ensure they fulfill their function throughout the system&#8217;s entire lifespan, it is crucial to carry out <strong>preventive maintenance<\/strong>. Here we explain what you should evaluate annually and why it&#8217;s important.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What should be checked during maintenance?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>1. Torque settings<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This involves verifying that all screws are tightened to the torque values specified in the structure\u2019s assembly manuals. This is done through a <strong>representative sampling<\/strong> that covers all types of joints, ensuring everything is properly secured.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Verification of ballasts and anchors<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>For ballasted structures: check that the counterweights are correctly positioned and match the assembly drawings.<\/li>\n<li>For structures anchored to footings, counterweights, substructures, or directly to the building, verify the <strong>condition and placement of the anchor bolts<\/strong>, ensuring there is no looseness or movement that could affect the system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>3. Inspection for deformations<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Look for any impacts or permanent deformations in the structure or profiles that could alter the support\u2019s functionality.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If a component is deformed, it <strong>must be replaced<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>If the deformation affects the entire structure, <strong>complete replacement is necessary<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>4. Corrosion control and cleaning<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Although Enstall structures are made from highly corrosion-resistant materials, it\u2019s essential to keep them clean and <strong>protected from aggressive agents<\/strong> such as acids or salts. Dirt buildup or contact with chemical substances can accelerate deterioration.<\/p>\n<p>At Enstall, we offer <strong>specific maintenance manuals<\/strong> for each type of structure. Request the materials you need and keep your system in optimal condition, extending its lifespan and ensuring the safety of the installation.<\/p>\n<p>A poorly maintained structure can compromise your entire photovoltaic system. With regular inspections, attention to technical details, and adherence to the manuals, you ensure your installation remains durable, safe, and efficient.<\/p>\n<h5 data-start=\"158\" data-end=\"477\"><strong data-start=\"378\" data-end=\"410\">Visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vicoexport.com\/categoria-producto\/estructura-metalica-paneles-solares\/\">online store<\/a><\/strong> to find the ideal structure for your next installation, or <strong data-start=\"575\" data-end=\"614\">contact our team<\/strong> for personalized advice and to choose the most suitable structural solution for your project.<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" style=\"margin-top: 30px; color: #fffff; background-color: #558f98; border-color: #558F98;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vicoexport.com\/categoria-producto\/estructura-metalica-paneles-solares\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy ENSTALL (Sunfer) Structure\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Extend the Lifespan of Your Installation Preventive Maintenance for the Structure When we think about a photovoltaic system, we usually think about the modules.
