Solar Overhead Water Tank Structure

A Solar Overhead Water Tank Structure is a specially designed elevated mounting system installed above an existing overhead water tank. It allows solar panels to be placed on top of water tanks—maximizing unused space while ensuring stability, safety, and optimal power generation.

This structure is common in residential societies, commercial buildings, institutes, and industries where rooftop space is limited or obstructed.

Design Considerations

  • Tank Type

    • RCC Water Tank

    • Steel Water Tank

    • Plastic/Sintex Tank

    • Terrace Water Tank Rooms

  • Structure Type

    • Elevated Solar Structure over Tank

    • Cantilever Structure (when tank diameter is smaller than platform)

    • Braced Support Structure for taller tanks

  • Foundation

    • Chemical anchoring

    • RCC base supports

    • Separate pedestal foundation (if not directly on tank)
