Design around the farm—not just the panels
Agrivoltaics combines agricultural production and solar electricity on the same land. Its value depends on preserving practical farm operations, not simply placing modules above a field. Shading and water-related benefits vary with crop, climate and layout; higher crop yields must never be assumed for every project.
1. Define agricultural access first
Before requesting a mounting quotation, confirm crop height, machinery dimensions, turning space, irrigation routes and seasonal operations. Agree the required clear height and usable aisle width with the farmer. Module spacing and orientation should be assessed alongside crop-light requirements and the electrical layout.
2. Specify project-specific structural design
Ask the project engineer to define applicable local codes, wind and snow actions, terrain, soil conditions and foundation requirements. Tall structures and wide spans require project-specific checks. A standard ground-mount drawing or a low price per tonne is not evidence of structural suitability.
3. Treat corrosion protection as a specification
Describe coastal exposure, humidity, irrigation, fertiliser contact and drainage. Define steel grade, coating system, coating acceptance criteria, fastener compatibility and treatment of cut or welded areas. Do not compare quotations only by material thickness: drawings, coating requirements, inspection scope and quantities must also match.
4. Send a complete RFQ package
- Project country, delivery city, capacity and procurement schedule.
- Site layout, module dimensions, BOQ and available drawings.
- Crop and machinery requirements, clear height and aisle width.
- Engineering design inputs, geotechnical information and foundation concept.
- Material/coating requirements, inspection documents and delivery terms.

中文｜先兼容农业，再配置光伏
农业光伏是在同一土地上结合农业生产与光伏发电。其价值取决于能否保留实际农业作业条件，而不是简单地把组件架在农田上方。遮阴及与用水相关的收益受作物、气候和布局影响，不能承诺所有项目都会提高作物产量。
1. 先明确农业通行条件
询价前确认作物高度、农机尺寸、转弯空间、灌溉路线及季节性作业安排，与农场确定所需净高和有效通道宽度。组件间距、朝向应结合农作物光照需求及电气布局评估。
2. 按项目进行结构设计
由项目工程师明确适用的当地规范、风雪荷载、地形、土壤条件及基础要求。高架结构和大跨度需要专项核算。普通地面支架图纸或较低的吨价，不能证明结构适合该项目。
3. 把防腐要求写进技术规格
说明沿海暴露、湿度、灌溉、肥料接触及排水条件，明确钢材牌号、防腐体系、涂镀层验收要求、紧固件相容性，以及切口和焊接部位的处理方式。比价时不仅要比厚度，还要统一图纸、防腐要求、检验范围及数量。
4. 提供完整询价资料
- 项目国家、交货城市、容量及采购时间。
- 场地布局、组件尺寸、BOQ及现有图纸。
- 作物及农机需求、净高和通道宽度。
- 工程设计输入、岩土资料及基础方案。
- 材质与防腐要求、检验文件及交货条款。
