Japanese solar specialist Takamiya has introduced a new vertical photovoltaic (PV) mounting system, targeting environments where space is limited or conventional installations are impractical.
Dubbed the H-V system, the innovative structure is designed for a wide range of applications, including agricultural land, snowy regions, factory perimeters, and parking facilities. By leveraging bifacial solar panels in a vertical setup, the system enables high-efficiency energy generation in locations that have traditionally posed challenges for solar deployment.
“The combination of vertical mounting and bifacial modules allows for effective power production in tight or previously unsuitable areas,” the company stated. The system measures 4,343 mm in height and 5,000 mm in length, and supports bifacial modules sized 2,278 mm x 1,134 mm x 3.5 mm. Notably, the lower edge of the panels can be installed at a 2-meter clearance, deterring unauthorized contact with the system.
Constructed from hot-dip galvanized steel, the frame is engineered to withstand wind speeds up to 38 meters per second. Installation is facilitated using hydraulic vibratory pile drivers, which offer quiet, rapid deployment—a key advantage in reducing labor requirements, construction time, and overall system costs.
The vertical orientation also delivers operational benefits, minimizing the buildup of snow, sand, and debris, which in turn lowers maintenance frequency. Beyond durability, the design provides a strategic performance edge: it captures solar energy more effectively during early mornings and late afternoons, aligning energy production with peak electricity pricing periods.
Takamiya’s H-V system positions itself as a smart solution for modern solar development—one that balances efficiency, environmental adaptability, and economic viability in a compact footprint.
