In a significant engineering advancement, VERSOLSOLAR has successfully designed and installed a photovoltaic array on a challenging 70° cliff slope at a camellia oil farm in Qiandao Lake, China — establishing new possibilities for solar deployment in extreme terrain conditions.
Overcoming Unique Technical Challenges
The project site presented exceptional difficulties:
· An average slope of 40° with sections reaching 70°, complicating structural anchoring and equipment access
· A 10-meter-deep vertical gap from previous construction, where conventional support systems would be inadequate
· Strict ecological requirements: preserving valuable camellia trees while maintaining agricultural operations
Engineering Breakthroughs
Our team developed innovative technical solutions to address these challenges:
Technical Achievements
· Advanced slope adaptation: The system underwent rigorous simulation testing for wind, snow, and seismic conditions
· Agricultural integration: Camellia trees continue to thrive beneath the elevated structure with unimpeded farming access
· Minimal environmental impact: Installation required no terrain alteration or ecological disruption
This project demonstrates how innovative engineering can enable solar energy generation in previously challenging environments while maintaining environmental and agricultural sustainability.At VERSOLSOLAR, we continue to advance solar technology through practical engineering solutions tailored to complex project requirements.
