Solar photovoltaic bracket is a special bracket designed for placing, installing and fixing solar panels in solar photovoltaic power generation systems. The general materials are aluminum alloy, carbon steel and stainless steel. The related products of the solar support system are made of carbon steel and stainless steel.
The general materials are aluminum alloy, carbon steel and stainless steel. The related products of the solar support system are made of carbon steel and stainless steel. The surface of the carbon steel is hot-dip galvanized and will not rust for 30 years in outdoor use.
The metals in solar PV racking and mounting systems can be faced with corrosion if wrong metals are used together. The life of a solar PV system is 25 years, therefore system installers must target a similar life span for the racking materials. How does galvanic corrosion occur?
In the solar industry, most of the racking system components (including the solar module frames) are either mill finish aluminum (aluminum alloy) or anodized aluminum (increased corrosion resistance). There are some bolts and nuts that are stainless steel, bronze or brass. The installer has to be careful in choosing the right material.
