Free-standing PV mounting system SILENOS
PV elevation
Open space
Use open spaces efficiently to generate energy!
The SILENOS PV mounting system uses low-yield areas
in open spaces to generate energy sustainably.
The construction of a solar park can enhance the ecological value of certain open spaces. Through the appropriate design of the installation and maintenance management, species-poor arable land or intensive grassland develops into species-rich grassland. This contributes to greater biodiversity. In addition, the soil recovers by removing the open space from intensive arable farming, as biocide and nutrient inputs are reduced.
The installation of photovoltaics on open spaces also pays off economically. Fallow land and converted areas can be put to good use again through sustainable energy generation and generate economic returns. Compared to cultivated biomass, the area efficiency of electricity generation from photovoltaics remains significantly higher. Photovoltaics can generate around 40 times more electricity per hectare per year.
Stepless adaptation to slopes and undulating terrain
Photovoltaic substructure rammed, concreted or on gabions, depending on requirements
High dead weight of the elevation guarantees maximum stability and robustness
Module orientation east-west or south, depending on local conditions
The SILENOS outdoor mounting system is characterized by a simple and low-maintenance system structure as well as flexible adjustment and compensation options. No drilling work is necessary. In addition, a cable duct integrated into the module support rail reduces the material and installation costs.
As standard, 2 or 3 modules are mounted upright. A different arrangement, e.g. transverse mounting, is possible on an individual basis. The module inclination and the length of the tables are adapted to the specific project. Endlostics are provided with defined thermal expansion interruptions. All standard modules can be installed.
Stepless compensation of uneven terrain.
The new compensation clamp from T.Werk, THEMIS, aligns the horizontal rail with the terrain and the support point. This allows terrain unevenness of up to 30 degrees to be compensated for steplessly and without interrupting the tables.
THEMIS is threaded into a keyhole on the crossbar and clamped after the horizontal rail has been fitted. The horizontal rail is then screwed to the SILENOS rail holder as usual. THEMIS is supplied completely pre-assembled for quick installation on site.

Technical information SILENOS substructure
- 1- and 2-post system with C-profiles, with square profiles for dowel system, alternative fastening on 40′ containers
- 2 or 3 modules vertically on top of each other, 4, 5 or 6 modules horizontally on top of each other
- Inclination 15° to 25°, special solutions possible
- Customized table sizes, endless tables with defined heat exchange interruptions
- Mounting on the long side of the module, no approval from the module manufacturer required
- GOK module lower edge: 0.8 m, adjustment is possible
Advantages of SILENOS for open spaces
- Use on all floors, including difficult and uneven terrain
- Quick and easy installation thanks to pre-assembled parts and infinitely adjustable slotted holes
- Project-related structural analysis with load assumptions according to Eurocode 1
- More weight, stability and safety thanks to the use of high-quality materials
- Optional services: Integration into an equipotential bonding system, module earthing when clamping the modules, inverter support walls, fence construction
General advantages of ground-mounted PV
- Ground-mounted photovoltaics is often more cost-efficient than smaller, decentralized systems
- Economies of scale significantly reduce the cost per kilowatt hour
- Low installation costs per unit
- Sustainable use of otherwise low-yield or fallow open spaces
- Regeneration of soil life and biodiversity of the open space, as only 0.5 to 1 percent is actually sealed by the solar park
