How to select solar strut channel/ photovoltaic bracket?

When selecting a solar strut channel/photovoltaic bracket, multiple factors need to be considered, including solar strut channel / bracket type, material, installation environment, etc , to ensure the performance, safety and economy of the bracket. Here are some key elements and recommendations: 


1. Photovoltaic Bracket/Solar Strut Channel type:

  • Fixed bracket: Suitable for open and flat installation environments such as the ground, roof, water surface, etc., with simple structure and fixed angle, suitable for low latitude areas.
  • Adjustable brackets: including manual adjustable and electric intelligent adjustment brackets, which can adjust the angle of photovoltaic panels, provide more precise angle control, and are suitable for installation environments that require higher precision angle adjustment.
  • Tracking bracket: The angle can be adjusted according to the direction of sunlight to improve power generation efficiency. It is especially suitable for areas with high total radiation, but the technical requirements are high.
  • Floating bracket: Suitable for water photovoltaic projects, it needs to have strong corrosion resistance and stability and face the influence of complex environmental factors.
2. Material Selection:
  • Aluminum alloy bracket: lightweight and corrosion-resistant, suitable for civil construction.
  • Stainless steel bracket: high cost but good weather resistance.
  • Galvanized steel parts (such as Q235 hot-dip galvanizing): a cost-effective choice.
3. Installation Environment:
  • Roof type and slope angle: Sloping roofs are usually laid flat to follow the roof slope, while flat roofs can be laid flat or tilted at a certain angle.
  • Anti-corrosion measures: Take appropriate anti-corrosion measures according to the composition of the metal to ensure the durability of the bracket.
  • Environmental impact: Consider the impact of natural factors such as wind to ensure the stability and safety of the structure.
4. Budget considerations: Different types and materials of brackets have different costs and need to be considered comprehensively based on your budget.
