How Much Do You Know About Photovoltaic Brackets?

Photovoltaic brackets are an important part of solar photovoltaic power generation systems. They are used to install and support solar panels and securely fix the panels to the ground or roof. The design and installation of photovoltaic racks play a vital role in the effectiveness and safety of solar power generation systems. The following is some basic introduction to photovoltaic brackets:

## Types of Strut Channel

Our common strut channel are divided into the following types:

1. Combined solar photovoltaic support: This kind of bracket is usually used in large-scale solar power stations and can be adjusted according to the installation location, direction and inclination.

2. Ground solar photovoltaic support: This kind of bracket is usually used for vertical installation of solar panels, such as array type or convection stack type.

3. Rooftop solar photovoltaic support: This type of mount is commonly used to install solar panels on roofs.

## Material of photovoltaic bracket

Generally, when designing and manufacturing photovoltaic brackets, the materials used should have a certain weight and resistance strength to ensure that the structure of the bracket is stable enough to avoid damage or collapse in harsh environments such as wind, rain or earthquakes. Generally made of the following materials:

1. Aluminum alloy: Aluminum alloy has low density, light weight and good corrosion resistance, which makes the photovoltaic system have long-term stability.

2. Stainless steel: Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, and its strength can be greatly improved after heat treatment.

3. Carbon steel: Steel can obtain higher strength after heat treatment, but the density of steel is high, which affects the stability of the support system.

The use of different materials depends on the design of the photovoltaic bracket and the selection of materials to meet the stability and safety of the photovoltaic power generation system in different environments and climates.

## Installation of photovoltaic brackets

When installing photovoltaic brackets, factors such as direction, inclination, location and connection locks need to be considered to ensure that the power generation efficiency of the solar panels is maximized. When installing, you also need to pay attention to environmental factors such as terrain and wind direction to choose a suitable installation location. For steel frames and aluminum alloy frames installed in high-altitude areas, special consideration should be given to seismic factors and the seismic resistance of the brackets should be designed.

In summary, photovoltaic supports are a key component of solar power systems, have a great impact on solar system operation and durability, and should be better installed and maintained where appropriate.
