All the profiles used in our solar panel structure systems are made of S350-GD galvanized structural steel (from Zn 450 up to ZnMg 310 gr/m²), corrosion resistant, have a very low weight and have a high strength. . When it comes to selecting the material for photovoltaic (PV) support structures,it generally adopts Q235B steeland aluminum alloy extrusion profile AL6005-T5. Each material has its advantages and considerations,and the choice depends on various factors. Let's compare steel and aluminum for PV. . Grade 50 steel shall be used for columns, sloped beams and purlin. These structures are designed not only to bear the weight of the machines but also to withstand the vibrations generated during operation. Furthermore we can manufacture according to customer wishes. Long span, light weight, strong load c pacity, and adaptability to complex terrains.
