Ground-mounted system
The energy transition is facing major challenges and one of the key solutions is the use of photovoltaic systems (PV systems) to generate electricity from solar energy. While rooftop systems are already making an important contribution, it is primarily ground-mounted photovoltaic systems that have the potential to revolutionise the energy supply in the long term due to their size and performance. The fact that they are measured in megawatts instead of kilowatts gives an idea of the size of these systems.
Flexible and high-performance
Ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, often installed on large fields or unused areas, offer a significant advantage over roof-mounted systems: their sheer size and associated power output. These systems can generate considerably more electricity and therefore make a greater contribution to meeting energy needs. In contrast to rooftop systems, which are limited by the available roof area, ground-mounted systems can be designed flexibly and over a large area in order to maximise energy yield.
Significance for the energy transition
The energy transition requires a rapid and comprehensive expansion of renewable energies in order to replace fossil fuels and reduce CO2 emissions. Ground-mounted photovoltaic systems are crucial here, as they can provide large quantities of clean energy. They make it possible to meet the growing demand for energy in an environmentally friendly way while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The scalability and efficiency of these systems make them an indispensable building block in the fight against climate change.

Efficient and cost-optimised expansion
A key factor in the successful expansion of ground-mounted photovoltaic systems is efficiency and cost optimisation in the construction and operation of these systems. This is where FORM-TEC systems play a decisive role. These innovative systems enable quick and cost-effective installation of ground-mounted PV systems. Modular designs and optimised assembly structures reduce installation time and production costs can be significantly lowered. FORM-TEC systems are characterised by their robustness and durability, which minimises maintenance and operating costs. In addition, they offer flexible customisation options so that the PV systems can be optimally adapted to the respective site conditions. This leads to a higher energy yield and improved economic efficiency of the systems.

Planning & construction
The planning of PV systems is complex and requires detailed preparation. In particular, the mounting system, the creation of customised drawings and detailed parts lists are crucial for the smooth installation of such projects.
Occupancy & pile-driving plans
This process includes the creation of occupancy and piling plans as well as the optimal utilisation of space and the consideration of individual requirements. It is important that the available space is utilised in an ideal way. Minimising investment costs while at the same time optimising output is our maxim for this service.
Static calculations
These calculations are essential to ensure the safety and durability of the systems. Our company always has the structural analyses for our projects prepared by external engineering companies whose static and civil engineers are registered as structural engineers. On request, we can also have our structural analyses checked and green stamped by accredited structural engineers. This fulfils the high demands placed on structural stability, whether required by the relevant building authority or simply as a private-law inspection.
Geological surveys
Geological surveys are an essential part of the planning phase. Among other things, they also include a chemical analysis of the soil composition and thus not only guarantee the stability of the selected foundation form, but also ensure a professional definition of the service life in terms of corrosion protection.
Extraction test
Determining the ground conditions and load-bearing capacity is an essential step in the planning and realisation of photovoltaic projects. Various methods and techniques are used to ensure that the subsoil fulfils the requirements and that the safety of the construction is guaranteed. The most important methods include pull-out tests, which help to determine the load-bearing capacity of the soil.
More than just profiles
- Customised solutions that meet the specific requirements of each project.
- Additional services such as technical advice, project management support, occupancy and pile-driving plans and much more.
- Focus on a holistic view of the projects to ensure that the products are perfectly harmonised.
