More and more companies in the solar industry are realising the clear benefits of using aluminium. The combination of strength, ductility, elasticity, corrosion resistance and low weight is hard to beat.
Sunal Solar Module frames
Design feature
Solar modules are becoming increasingly important design features in public urban environments. This places stricter aesthetical demands on the solar absorbing surface ? and on the module?s frames. Sunal?s PV frame profiles are renowned for their neat design and superb surface finish.
Machining and processing
Sunal offers a number of processing methods for PV frames. These include surface treatment methods such as powder coating and anodisation as well as mechanical processing methods such as drilling holes for grounding and drainage purposes.
New frame kit
Sunal has launched a new easy-to-assemble solar module frame. Profiles easily click into position, speeding up frame assembly. The profiles feature inbuilt water drainage, grounding without drilling, lower material consumption and reduced machining costs.
Sunal Solar Mounting system
Roof tops
Most roofs were not designed to carry the additional load of solar power units and their mounting systems. Aluminium makes it all possible.
Offloading roofs
PV units are attached to rooftops using a mounting system. Aluminium dramatically reduces the total weight of these mounting systems compared to using a steel structure, thus securing the load-carrying capacity of the roof.
Easier to move and install
The low weight of aluminium also makes the mounting system easier to transport and mount on the rooftop. Each truckload can carry more material, adding up to substantial cost savings in a year.
Pre-assembled, if you like
Suppliers of mounting systems can reduce their manufacturing costs by handing over the task of fabrication and machining of profiles to Sunal. To simplify on-site work, Sunal offers to pre-assemble mounting systems in its factories
Mounting systems for PV plants
Sunal aluminium structures are used to mount up to thousands of photovoltaic modules in solar farms ? including some of the largest in the world.
Eliminating truckloads
Aluminium is a highly suitable material for mounting systems in solar power plants. It is resistant to corrosion and it is lightweight, which simplifies transportation of up to thousands of units to a solar field.
Easier manual fieldwork
Unlike steel products, even large structures of aluminium profiles can be handled manually on site. This reduces the mounting time while reducing the need for cranes and other machinery in the field.
On time
High delivery performance is a crucial success factor when mounting PV units in solar energy fields. Delivering too early creates costly stockpiles on the site unnecessarily. Delivering too late delays the project, adding to the total project cost.
