Built for Diverse Terrain and Climate Conditions

Amerimax, known for its solar ground mounting solutions, offers a range of products designed to address diverse terrain and climate conditions. Here’s an overview of different I-beam piles, Amerimax offers for ground mount solar applications.

Description: These are the most common type of I-beams used in construction. They have a wider flange compared to the height of the web, which provides better load distribution and stability.

Use in Solar Fields: W-beams are often used for support structures such as racks and mounting frames for solar panels. Their strength and stability make them ideal for withstanding environmental stresses like wind and snow loads.

Description: S-beams have a narrower flange and a proportionally deeper web than W-beams. They are typically used in applications where vertical space is limited.

Use in Solar Fields: These beams can be used in solar field infrastructure where space constraints are a concern, or where a more lightweight structure is needed.

Description: HP-beams are characterized by their parallel flanges and greater depth compared to other types. They are often used in heavy load-bearing applications.

Use in Solar Fields: HP-beams are used in solar fields for large, heavy-duty support structures or in situations where substantial load-bearing is required.

Description: These beams have a tapered flange, meaning the flange width decreases from the center towards the ends. This design helps reduce the weight while maintaining strength.

Use in Solar Fields: Tapered I-beams can be used in solar installations to reduce material costs while still providing adequate support for the solar panels and their mounting systems.

Description:
Custom I-beams are designed to meet specific engineering requirements. They can vary in flange width, web depth, and other dimensions based on the needs of the project.

Use in Solar Fields:
When unique structural demands arise, custom I-beams may be designed and manufactured to ensure that the solar field’s framework meets all the necessary specifications for stability and support.
