Distributed photovoltaic bracket can be dispersed in urban residences, enterprises, institutions,  and other places; the scale is relatively small. Because it is connected to the distribution network through low-voltage lines, and the maintenance is more convenient, the technical demand is low, and the electricity demand of urban residents, enterprises, and institutions can be more easily met. The primary common distributed photovoltaic power generation is on the roof or on the factory roof. According to the difference in location, distributed photovoltaic power generation can be divided into color steel tile photovoltaic and cement roof (concrete) photovoltaic, of course, they need the photovoltaic bracket category, which is similar.

Centralized photovoltaic brackets are mostly used in harsh environments such as mountains, beaches, and the Gobi. Common ones are medicine light complement, fish light complement, forest light complement, tea light complement, animal light complement, green belt photovoltaic, and slope protection photovoltaic projects. Medicine and light complementarity refers to the use of local unique advantages of altitude, light, geography, and climate combined with local characteristics of the herbal medicine planting industry, with photovoltaic panel power generation, under the photovoltaic panel planting Chinese herbal medicine, thus forming photovoltaic power generation, herbal medicine planting, functional agriculture, and other industries complementary utilization, mutual integration of the development model, greatly saving land resources and improving the utilization of land. Fish-light complementarity refers to the combination of fishery aquaculture and photovoltaic power generation on the water surface of the fish pond. The photovoltaic panel array is set up above, and the waters below the photovoltaic panel can be cultured for fish and shrimp, and the photovoltaic array can also provide a good shelter for fish farming, forming a new power generation model of "upper power generation and lower fish farming."

Tracking photovoltaic mounts significantly enhance power generation efficiency by real-time tracking of the sun's position. They are mainly classified into types such as horizontal single-axis and inclined single-axis. Among them, the simple-structured horizontal single-axis system is suitable for low-latitude flat ground and large-scale ground power stations; the inclined single-axis system, which is suitable for mid-to-high latitudes, can better adapt to changes in the sun's altitude angle and is often used in agrivoltaic projects; the dual-axis mount can achieve full-angle tracking and has the highest power generation gain, and is mostly used in demonstration projects or high-precision power generation scenarios.
