A Review on Role and Quality of Module Mounting Structure of Solar PV Power Plants Installed in India

India has kept a target of installing 100GW capacity by 2022 and the present installed capacity as on December 31, 2019 is 33.730GW. Half of these installed Power Plants are Ground Mounted by nature. The life of Solar PV Module is 25 years so that should also be the life of Module Mounting Structures (MMS) to hold the Solar PV Modules for 25 long years. India is a vast country and much of it's areas are considered as Seismic Zones of different Grades. It is important to be sure about the performance of MMS during installation of the Solar Power Plants in both Seismic and Non-Seismic Zones to avoid any damages. This paper reviews the work that has been done on this issue and also gives ideas about the proper protection that to be taken to protect the power plants.
