Solar Photovoltaic Bracket Manufacturers

What types of solar photovoltaic brackets are there?

There are many types of solar photovoltaic brackets, which can be divided into the following main types according to the installation environment and function:

1. Fixed bracket
Features: The angle is fixed and is usually installed according to the optimal local tilt angle.
Application scenario: Suitable for roof and ground installation, suitable for areas with stable light angle.
Advantages: Simple structure, low cost and easy maintenance.
2. Adjustable bracket
Features: Allows manual adjustment of angle to adapt to seasonal changes.
Application scenario: Suitable for projects that want to optimize power generation efficiency in different seasons.
Advantages: High flexibility, which can maximize the sunlight reception of photovoltaic panels throughout the year.
3. Single-axis tracking bracket
Features: It can track on one axis according to the movement of the sun, usually in the east-west direction.
Application scenario: Large photovoltaic power stations, especially flat and open areas.
Advantages: Increase power generation by about 20%-30%, but the cost and complexity are also increased accordingly.
4. Dual-axis tracking bracket
Features: Able to track the movement of the sun on two axes, providing maximum sunlight capture.
Application scenario: Occasions with extremely high requirements for power generation efficiency.
Advantages: It can increase power generation to more than 40%, and is one of the most efficient bracket systems.
5. Ground bracket
Features: It is installed on the ground and the supporting structure is stable.
Application scenarios: Large photovoltaic power stations and off-grid systems, especially in areas with sufficient land resources.
Advantages: Easy to install and maintain, and supports large-scale installation.
6. Roof bracket
Features: It is specially designed for installation on building roofs and adapts to different roof shapes and materials.
Application scenarios: Residential, commercial buildings and industrial plants.
Advantages: Effective use of roof space, easy installation, and usually no need to change the roof structure.
7. Floating bracket
Features: Floating platform installed on water bodies (such as reservoirs and lakes).
Application scenarios: Photovoltaic systems above water bodies to solve land shortage problems.
Advantages: Reduce land occupation and use the cooling effect of water bodies to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic panels.
Each type of bracket has its specific advantages and applicable scenarios. The selection of the appropriate bracket type can be determined based on the specific needs and environmental conditions of the project.

What materials are solar photovoltaic brackets made of?

Solar photovoltaic brackets are mainly made of the following materials, each of which has its specific advantages and applicable occasions:

1. Aluminum alloy

Easy to process: Aluminum alloy is easy to process into different shapes and sizes, suitable for customized design.
Application scenarios: Widely used in roof brackets and small ground brackets.
2. Stainless steel
Advantages:
High strength: Stainless steel has high strength and can withstand large mechanical stress.
Corrosion resistance: Especially suitable for marine environments and areas with severe industrial pollution.
Long life: Strong durability and low maintenance cost.
Application scenarios: Used for bracket systems that require high durability and high load-bearing capacity.
3. Carbon steel (galvanized steel)
Advantages:
High strength: Can provide good support capacity, suitable for large ground brackets.
Economical: Relatively low cost, suitable for large-scale applications.
Surface treatment: Improve corrosion resistance through hot-dip galvanizing or other anti-corrosion treatment.
Application scenario: Ground brackets for large photovoltaic power stations.
4. Hot-dip galvanized steel
Advantages:
Corrosion resistance: The hot-dip galvanizing process can effectively prevent steel from rusting and improve the durability of the bracket.
Cost-effectiveness: A balance between strength and durability.
Application scenario: Suitable for large ground projects that require a long service life.
5. Composite materials
Advantages:
Lightweight: Composite materials such as glass fiber reinforced plastics have a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Corrosion resistance: Suitable for special environments such as chemical plants.
Application scenario: Specific applications, especially when there are strict restrictions on material weight.
Material selection considerations
Project budget: Select materials with better economy to control costs.
Environmental conditions: Select materials with appropriate corrosion resistance according to the local climate and environment.
Structural requirements: Select appropriate strength materials according to the weight that the bracket needs to bear and the structural design.
Easy to install: Lightweight materials can reduce installation complexity and cost.
The selection of different materials needs to be weighed according to specific project requirements and environmental conditions to ensure that the performance and life of the bracket meet the needs of the solar photovoltaic system.
