Solar industry FAQs

Why is aluminium used for solar panel mounting systems?

Aluminium is a highly versatile material, offering a number of advantages for solar panel mounting component manufacturing. As a lightweight metal with a high strength-to-weight ratio, aluminium components remain durable and consistent for holding solar panels once installed. The lightweight properties are ideal for installation in raised applications, particularly in roof and wall mounted installations, reducing load on structures. Aluminium is additionally naturally resistant to corrosion, forming a protective layer of aluminium oxide to prevent structural degradation, making it an ideal material for installation in outdoor environments as solar panels are used.

The exact type of aluminium alloy used for component manufacturing can influence the physical properties and suitability for your requirements, including durability and project costs. To discuss your options, our expert team today.

Where is extruded aluminium used in solar panel mounting systems?

Extruded aluminium is used throughout the solar industry, including for:

Mounting Rails: Designed to mount a range of solar panels, often featuring channels and slots for secure clamping of your solar panels.

Mounting Brackets and Clamps: Used to attach the solar panels to the mounting rails, extruded aluminium brackets and clamps offer a lightweight, durable, and long-lasting solution for solar panel installations.

Splices and Connectors: Used to join mounting rails together for longer spans to mount solar panels.

Have a new or existing design you require aluminium extrusion engineering services for?

What are the environmental impacts of using aluminium extrusions for solar panel components?

Aluminium is a highly recyclable and sustainable material for manufacturing. By re-using aluminium at the end of a product's lifespan, the material can be endlessly recycled without any loss of its properties, minimising waste and environmental impact.

As an industry dedicated to the manufacture of eco-friendly and sustainable energy source infrastructure, aluminium is an ideal material choice for component manufacturing in the solar sector.
