HYPSET specializes in cable-supported flexible PV mounting systems for challenging project sites
The system offers spans of 20 m to 70 m and ground clearances of 2 m to 15 m
According to HYPSET, the design can reduce foundation requirements and preserve the space beneath the modules for other uses
Chinese PV mounting systems supplier HYPSET presented its cable-supported flexible PV mounting system at SNEC 2026. The system uses steel cables to support PV modules across wide gaps between foundations, making it suitable for sites where conventional mounting structures may be difficult to install.
The system allows distances of 20 to 70 m between supporting foundations and provides ground clearances of 2 to 15 m. These features allow the structure to cross ground-level obstacles, including ravines, mined-out areas, and fish ponds, says HYPSET.
For mountainous projects, the system supports distances of up to 60 m between foundations and terrain inclinations of up to 45°. This design helps accommodate uneven ground, dense vegetation, and trenches. HYPSET says the system can be combined with conventional fixed mounting structures in a hybrid layout. It adds that this approach can increase land utilization at mountainous PV projects to as much as 99%.
The system is also intended for deserts, fish ponds, agricultural greenhouses, livestock sheds, industrial parks, and storage yards. Its elevated structure allows agricultural, aquaculture, and other activities to continue beneath the modules. HYPSET says the wider distance between foundations can reduce the number of pile foundations required to about one-third of what conventional mounting structures use, depending on the project.
To improve stability under wind loads, the structure uses prestressed steel cables and a mechanism designed to control wind-induced vibration. According to HYPSET, wind-tunnel and aeroelastic tests evaluated the system’s vibration response, structural behavior, and wind-load distribution.
