What Is an O-Type Anchor Assembly for PV Projects?
An O-type anchor assembly, commonly referred to as a ground screw or helical pile in the solar industry, is a steel foundation component designed to secure photovoltaic brackets without concrete. Unlike traditional footings that require excavation and curing time, this mechanical ground screw foundation screws directly into the earth, providing immediate load-bearing capacity.
For global EPC contractors and project developers, choosing the right solar panel mounting anchor system is critical. It ensures your PV array withstands wind loads and soil pressure for decades. Hebei Shijing Changtian Metal Structure Products Co., Ltd. (SJCT) specializes in manufacturing these high-strength anchors, leveraging our location in Yongnian—the "Capital of Fasteners in China"—to deliver cost-effective, high-quality solutions.
No Concrete Required
Eliminates curing time and site disruption, speeding up your project timeline significantly.
Immediate Load Bearing
Start construction on top structures immediately after installation, reducing idle labor costs.
Eco-Friendly Design
Zero-excavation method protects soil structure. Materials are 100% recyclable, supporting green building goals.
Why Choose SJCT for Your O-Type Anchor Needs?
As a leading manufacturer of photovoltaic ground screw foundations, SJCT combines scale with precision. Our dual-base operation in Hebei and Xingtai covers 25,000 square meters, enabling us to produce up to 30,000 units per day. This massive capacity ensures you never face supply chain delays, even for large-scale utility projects.
Our competitive edge lies in our integrated supply chain. Rooted in Yongnian, we have direct access to raw materials like Q235B and Q355B steel, allowing us to offer highly competitive pricing without compromising on quality. Every solar anchor assembly undergoes strict self-inspection and follows GB/T 13912 standards for hot-dip galvanizing, ensuring a zinc layer thickness of at least 85μm for superior corrosion resistance.
- 3 Million Annual Output: Reliable volume for gigawatt-scale projects.
- ISO Certified Quality: ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO45001 compliant processes.
- Global Export Experience: Serving clients in 15+ countries across Europe, Asia, and Africa.
How to Select the Right O-Type Anchor Assembly for Your Site
Selecting the correct solar mounting ground screw depends heavily on your specific geological conditions. A one-size-fits-all approach can lead to structural failures or unnecessary material costs. Here is how to choose the optimal anchor for your project:
1. Assess Soil Geology
Soft soils (clay, sand) may require longer piles or wider helix blades to increase surface area and friction. Hard rocky soil might need shorter, stronger piles with reinforced tips. SJCT offers diameters from 60mm to 140mm to match these varied conditions.
2. Calculate Wind & Snow Loads
Your anchor must withstand local environmental forces. Higher latitudes with heavy snow or coastal areas with strong winds require higher load-bearing capacities. Our engineering team can simulate these loads to recommend the exact specification.
Industry Applications for O-Type Anchor Systems
O-type anchor assemblies are versatile foundational components used across multiple sectors. Their ability to adapt to different terrains makes them the preferred choice for modern infrastructure.
Photovoltaic Power Stations
The primary application. Securely holds solar panels in large-scale farms, adapting to uneven terrain without extensive civil works.
Infrastructure & Bridges
Used as deep foundations for bridges, docks, and retaining walls, providing stability in water-crossing and soft-ground scenarios.
Commercial Buildings
Foundations for prefabricated modular buildings, sound barriers, and temporary structures where rapid deployment is key.
Common Procurement Issues & Solutions
When sourcing helical pile foundations internationally, buyers often encounter specific challenges. Understanding these helps mitigate risk.
Issue: Corrosion Failure in Coastal Areas
Salt spray environments accelerate rust. Standard galvanized coatings may fail prematurely. Solution: Specify hot-dip galvanization following GB/T 13912 with a zinc layer >85μm. For extreme CX-class environments, request customized anti-corrosion schemes meeting EN-ISO-1461 standards.
Issue: Supply Chain Delays for Large Orders
Small factories lack the capacity to handle GW-scale orders, leading to missed deadlines. Solution: Partner with manufacturers like SJCT who have 25,000 sqm of factory space and automated lines capable of producing 30,000 units daily, backed by 10,000-ton inventory reserves.
Issue: Mismatched Specifications for Local Geology
Generic products may not suit specific soil types (e.g., sandy vs. clay). Solution: Work with suppliers offering OEM/ODM services. SJCT’s R&D team customizes pile length, diameter, and helix design based on your geological survey data.
Buyer Decision Checklist for Anchor Suppliers
Before finalizing a contract, verify these critical factors to ensure a smooth procurement process.
Production Capacity Verification
- Does the supplier have >10,000 tons of inventory buffer?
- Can they demonstrate automated production lines (not just manual)?
- Do they have experience with similar project volumes?
Quality & Certification
- Are ISO9001/14001 certificates valid and current?
- Is galvanizing thickness verified by third-party testing?
- Do they offer a minimum 10-year warranty on main structures?
Technical Support
- Can they provide custom drawings based on your terrain data?
- Do they offer English-speaking technical support?
- Is on-site installation guidance available for large projects?
Logistics & After-Sales
- Do they have experience exporting to your region?
- Is there a clear policy for defective product replacement?
- Are packaging methods suitable for long-distance sea freight?

Frequently Asked Questions About O-Type Anchors
What is the typical installation time for a single O-Type Anchor?
Installation is highly efficient. Using hydraulic torque drivers, a single pile can be installed in approximately 3 minutes. This is 50% faster than traditional concrete foundations, significantly reducing labor costs and overall project duration.
How does SJCT ensure corrosion resistance for overseas projects?
We strictly follow the GB/T 13912 standard for hot-dip galvanizing. Our zinc layer thickness is guaranteed to be no less than 85μm, passing salt spray tests for over 3,000 hours. For extremely corrosive environments (like offshore platforms), we offer customized solutions compliant with EN-ISO-1461.
Do you offer OEM/ODM services for custom anchor designs?
Yes. Our R&D team, consisting of 20 technical personnel and 10 senior engineers, provides full-process OEM/ODM services. We can customize pile specifications, thread spacing, and helix designs based on your project's unique geological and load requirements.
What is the warranty period for your ground screws?
The main structure of our photovoltaic ground screws carries a 10-year warranty, ensuring service life over 10 years under normal environments. Core accessories like pile tips have a 5-year warranty. For specialized anti-corrosion applications, warranties can be extended to 15 years.
