Summary: Selecting the best bracket material for solar photovoltaic systems impacts durability, cost, and energy efficiency. This guide explores aluminum, steel, and composite options, backed by industry data and real-world examples, to help installers and project developers.
Eurocode-related PV mounting design commonly references EN 1990 (basis of design), EN 1991 (wind/snow actions), EN 1993 (steel design), and EN 1998 (seismic design), which are frequently listed together for compliant mounting-system calculations and documentation.
6061 aluminum alloy, as a 6-series aluminum magnesium silicon alloy, has moderate strength, good weldability, high corrosion resistance, can be heat treated to improve strength, and good mechanical properties, making it the mainstream material for solar photovoltaic brackets.
The deformation of photovoltaic brackets and components shall meet the requirements of "Design Specifications for Photovoltaic Power Stations" GB50797-2012 and other national specifications.
The components of a photovoltaic bracket play a crucial role in solar energy systems. A typical bracket consists of several key elements: the mounting frame, anchors, and adjustment hardware.
Solar brackets that support photovoltaic modules can be divided into rooftop, ground, and water surface types according to the usage scenarios of the modules; According to whether the component angle can be adjusted during the operation of the power generation system, it can be.
