All Winture ground foundation products undergo systematic laboratory testing — from incoming raw material coils through to finished galvanized sections.
Key tests include: chemical composition (OES spectrometer), mechanical properties (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation), coating thickness measurement, adhesion verification, and salt spray resistance.

What Is an Agrivoltaic Mounting System?
Agrivoltaic (solar agriculture) mounting systems are ground-mounted solar structures erected above productive farmland, enabling simultaneous crop cultivation and electricity generation on the same parcel of land. Unlike utility‑scale ground mounting — where the land beneath the panels is largely unproductive — an agrivoltaic system is designed to preserve (or even enhance) agricultural productivity while generating clean energy.
The key engineering challenge is the trade‑off between solar energy capture and crop light transmission. Winture addresses this through three configurable structural parameters:
Ground clearance:
Minimum 2.5m standard clearance; adjustable up to 4m for tall crops or full combine harvester access
Shading rate:
Configurable from 20% to 70% depending on crop light sensitivity — leafy greens tolerate more shading; grain crops require less
Row spacing:
Configurable from 20% to 70% depending on crop light sensitivity — leafy greens tolerate more shading; grain crops require less

ZAM coated components provide self-healing protection at cut edges and punched holes — critical for structural
members in outdoor agricultural environments where edge corrosion typically initiates.

Key tests include: chemical composition (OES spectrometer), mechanical properties (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation), coating thickness measurement, adhesion verification, and salt spray resistance.
Bundling
All sections bundled by profile type and length using galvanized steel strip banding.
Zone-coded marking
Each bundle is labeled with installation zone code, profile type, and sequence number —matching the project BOM and installation drawing, minimizing on-site sorting on large farmland projects.
Pallet packaging
Bundled components palletized and stretch-wrapped for container stability.
Labeling
Product name, section designation, quantity, weight, batch number, destination.
Container loading
Suitable for 20ft and 40ft standard containers; loading plans provided.
Every agrivoltaic structure component passes Winture's full-cycle PDCA quality loop:
