REC
Ground frame for 10 REC Alpha Pro MG REC610AA Pro MG (HJT, bifacial) panels (1×10)
1 row of 10 panels, 6.10 kW. The Solispec engine chose the profiles, the frame pitch and the footings for three snow and wind zones: Kherson has the lowest load of the regional centres, Cherkasy the median, Chernihiv the highest.

Checks and cautions
Member utilisation as the engine computes it. Cautions are checks that pass, but with a small margin.
- Max. frame pitch, mmThe purlins between the frames are used above 80 % (strength or deflection): the structure passes, but the margin is small. A shorter frame pitch or a deeper purlin gives more margin.Kherson: Frame spacing 2 520 mm, 6 frames. Purlin C-channel 60×40×2: strength 90%, deflection 89% of L/200 (snow on panel 489 Pa).Cherkasy: Frame spacing 2 120 mm, 7 frames. Purlin C-channel 60×40×2: strength 88%, deflection 74% of L/200 (snow on panel 977 Pa).Chernihiv: Frame spacing 2 120 mm, 7 frames. Purlin C-channel 60×40×2: strength 95%, deflection 79% of L/200 (snow on panel 1 106 Pa).
- Embedment, mmThe footing resists wind uplift at above 80 % utilisation, or it is shallower than the frost depth. The soil resistance in the calculation is an estimate — check the soil on site.Kherson: Foundation Ø300 × 900: 0.064 m³ of concrete per post. Wind uplift on the front post ≈ 6.6 kN (with γ=1.5) vs ≈ 7.7 kN (concrete weight + soil friction, estimate) → 85%.
