10MW solar PV ground-mount system utilizing zinc-aluminum-magnesium (ZAM) coated steel structures and cement pile foundations installed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia represents a high-durability, climate-optimized utility-scale solar solution. Engineered specifically for the extreme desert environment of the Arabian Peninsula, this project combines advanced metallurgical corrosion protection, robust foundation engineering, and high-efficiency bifacial PV technology to deliver reliable, long-term clean energy generation under one of the world's harshest climatic conditions.

Installation Site: Saudi Arabia

Installation Date: 2024.8

Generating Capacity: 10MW

 Structural System: ZAM-Coated Steel Frames

• Material Innovation: The mounting structure utilizes Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium (ZAM) coated steel

• Coating Composition: Approx. 90% zinc, 6% aluminum, 4% magnesium – forming a dense, self-healing protective layer that withstands Saudi Arabia's coastal sabkha (salt flat) environments, high humidity, and abrasive sandstorms.

• Service Life: Designed for >35 years structural integrity with minimal maintenance.

Foundation System: Cement Pile (Concrete Pier) Foundations

• Foundation Type: Bored cast-in-place concrete piles or precast concrete driven piles, typically 250–400mm diameter, 1.5–3.0m depth depending on geotechnical conditions.

• Engineering Rationale:

• Provides superior pull-out resistance against high wind uplift forces (≥35 m/s gust loads).

• Eliminates concerns of steel pile corrosion in aggressive desert/coastal soils.

• Suitable for rocky, sandy, or sabkha terrain common in Saudi project sites.

• Installation: High-productivity pile-driving rigs or auger-cast piling methods, enabling rapid installation at utility scale.
