What is aluminum frame for solar panel
Solar panel frame is an important part of solar system. Its main functions include fixing and protecting the solar panel, as well as enhancing the strength of the module and extending its service life.
The following is a detailed analysis of solar panel aluminum frame:
1. solar panel aluminum frame function:
Solar panel aluminum frame is the fixed frame of pv panel it is usually made of aluminum alloy material. It is mainly used to fix and protect solar panels to ensure stable operation of panels in outdoor environment.
It fixes and protects the solar panel by fixing and protecting the solar panel, the aluminum frame also enhances the overall strength of the module and improves the solar panel’s resistance to wind, pressure and impact.
2. Material of solar panel frame:
Aluminum frames for pv panels are mostly made of 6063, 6061, 6005 aluminum alloy, which is an alloy with good strength and corrosion resistance, and can meet the needs of long-term outdoor use of solar panels.
The surface of the aluminum frame is usually anodized to form a dense oxide film, which further improves its corrosion resistance.
3. aluminum frame structure and size
Its cross-section shape: mostly U-shaped with slots, the internal cavity is used for installing angle code connectors, which facilitates the installation and fixing of solar panels.
Diversity of sizes: According to the size and power of solar panels, Hugh Aluminum’s aluminum frames are available in a variety of sizes, such as 30x25mm, 35x35mm, 40x35mm, or customized sizes
Benefits of choosing solar panel aluminum frame:
- STRENGTH & SOLIDNESS: Aluminum frames have high strength and solidity, which can effectively enhance the wind, pressure and impact resistance of PV panels.
- Tensile strength performance: tested by special tensile experiment, aluminum frame has strong tensile strength performance.
- Elasticity and metal fatigue value: aluminum frame has high elasticity, rigidity and metal fatigue value, not easy to deform, which can protect the solar system well.
- Conductivity: Good conductivity enables the aluminum frame to play the role of lightning protection in thunderstorms, and at the same time ensures the efficiency of the PV panel’s power output.
Service life of aluminum frame:
PV panel aluminum frames have a long service life, usually more than 30-50 years, far more than the life of the solar panel itself (20-25 years), ensuring the long-term stable operation of the solar panel.
Mechanical properties of aluminum frame：
| Alloy | Temper | Thickness | T.S./σb (MPa) | Y.S/σ0.2 (MPa) | ELOG./δ% | Hardness/HW |
| 6063 | T5 | ≥ 0.8 | ≥160 | ≥110 | ≥8 | ≥8 |
| 6063 | T6 | ≥ 0.8 | ≥205 | ≥180 | ≥8 | ≥10 |
| 6005 | T5 | ≥ 0.8 | ≥260 | ≥240 | ≥6 | ≥12 |
| 6005 | T6 | ≥ 0.8 | ≥270 | ≥250 | ≥6 | ≥14 |
Final Summary:
The solar panel aluminum frame is an important part of the solar panel. It plays an important role as a component of a solar system.
Hugh Aluminum is an aluminum extrusion factory located in China, which has 14 years of experience in aluminum extrusion. It has supplied more than 400 tons of aluminum frames to customers all over the world.
