What is a fixed photovoltaic structure?
A fixed photovoltaic structure is the simplest and most common system for installing ground-mounted solar panels.
The modules are mounted at a preset tilt, with no automatic movement, to ensure maximum stability and long-term durability.
Compared to solar trackers, a fixed structure offers:
- lower upfront costs
- near-zero maintenance
- reliability even in extreme weather conditions
With Sailfix, Solward combines the robustness of traditional fixed structures with a modular, certified design, ideal for projects that prioritize simplicity, durability, and cost effectiveness.

Tracker One
Tracker One vs Fixed Structure
To better understand the benefits, here’s a direct comparison between our Tracker One and a traditional fixed structure:
| Feature | Fixed structure | Tracker One |
|---|---|---|
| Annual production | Standard | +25–30% |
| ROI (return on investment) | 8–10 years | 4–6 years |
| Initial cost | Lower | Higher |
| Maintenance | Minimal | Low |
| Energy yield | Limited | Optimized every day |
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Sailfix
-
How much does Sailfix cost compared to a solar tracker?
Sailfix has a lower upfront cost than trackers and is the ideal choice when a tracker’s ROI wouldn’t be justified.
-
How long does a fixed photovoltaic structure like Sailfix last?
Thanks to certified materials and anti-corrosion treatments, the lifespan exceeds 25 years with minimal maintenance.
-
Is Sailfix suitable for all terrains?
Yes. With flexible foundations (piles or ballasts), it can be installed on different ground types.
-
Which panels are compatible with Sailfix?
The structure is designed to host all major photovoltaic modules, including bifacial.
-
Does it require maintenance?
No—only standard periodic checks on bolts and fasteners, with no complex servicing.
-
When is it better to choose Sailfix instead of a tracker?
When the site has regulatory constraints, the budget is limited, or climate conditions demand maximum stability.
