What is aluminum framing for solar panels?

  • Aluminum alloy material is one of the most commonly used materials in solar frame.
  • It has high strength and corrosion resistance and is very lightweight and easy to install.
  • Aluminum is easy to process and can be customized according to specific needs.

Specific aluminum alloy profiles:

6063-T5 profile:

It has excellent corrosion resistance, plasticity, deep punchability, and a smooth surface. In addition, it as a solar energy frame is with high tensile strength, bending strength is also high. Thus it is widely used.

6061-T6 profile:

It belongs to high strength aluminum, tensile strength even exceeds some iron and high hardness alloy. And it has superior corrosion resistance and painting performance. This kind of aluminum alloy is also commonly used as the material of solar photovoltaic bracket. Because it has the characteristics of medium strength, good weldability, high corrosion resistance, and can be heat-treated to improve strength.

Profile 6082-T6:

It is mainly used for specific applications requiring high bending resistance and creep strength, such as construction, rail transportation and other fields. For example, photovoltaic frames installed in high-speed railways and airports.

Profile 6005-T6:

It has better processing performance and mechanical properties. Especially the bending property is better, it can go through the curved surface with smaller curvature, which is suitable for the fabrication of photovoltaic products such as curved bracket.

This material is commonly used for solar framing materials installed on the roofs of our buildings or factories.

Most common solar framing material:

Most solar frames are made of 6005 aluminum alloy. In addition to aluminum alloy, some solar installed in the desert or mountains will choose galvanized stainless steel as the frame material.

Overall.

Aluminum photovoltaic frames are mainly made of aluminum alloy.  Among them, 6005, 6061, 6063, 6082, etc. are commonly used aluminum alloy models. Which material to choose depends on the specific use scenario, performance requirements and cost budget.
