New Concept Mining, Rustenburg: 628 kWp multi-site solar, on rooftop structures and cantilevered carports, on Lumasol rooftop structures and cantilevered carports

The project

NCM was one of the more demanding projects Lumasol has been involved in. The site spanned four separate tie-in locations, with complex civils and constantly changing site conditions throughout the build.

Two of the tie-in points required purpose-engineered, fully cantilevered carport structures with a level of civil and structural engineering that has to be seen in person to be truly appreciated.

Lumasol designed and supplied these custom mounting solutions, working through the engineering sign-offs and site coordination required to bring them to life.

The system features 620 W Canadian Solar panels, with mounting structures engineered to suit the site's specific layout and conditions. The scale of the carport structures is striking, and the precision required to execute them tested every layer of our capability.

NCM is a project Lumasol is proud to have delivered and is a strong demonstration of our ability to engineer reliable mounting solutions in even the most challenging site conditions.
