Solar racking system is a general term for a class of objects that secure solar energy in a suitable location to enable it to operate safely and efficiently. The choice of solar racking will affect the later operation of the solar system, but also affect the service life of the solar system. Therefore, the choice of solar racking is particularly important.

How to choose the right solar bracket

   

Metal solar mounting bracket, Tile Roof mounting bracket

Tile roof solar mounting brackets are generally made of aluminium alloy rather than steel. Although these aluminium alloys are more expensive than steel materials, they have a longer service life and are less susceptible to moisture and rust. Another user-friendly advantage is that it is simple and can be installed on its own.

Triangular Solar Mounting Bracket

Compared with other solar mounting brackets, the triangular solar mounting bracket is commonly used for solar panels installed on flat ground or flat roofs, and the material used is aluminum alloy which is not easy to rust, easy to install, and almost no need to be replaced or repaired for more than ten years.

Ground Mount Solar Racking

Ground-mounted solar racking is mainly used in large-scale photovoltaic power plant, suitable for installing a large number of continuous and compact solar panels. Its main raw material is galvanized steel, which ensures structural strength while preventing rusting caused by rainwater corrosion.

Solar Farm Racking

Solar farm stents are commonly used for solar energy systems in agricultural production. The whole is made of high-strength galvanized iron, which has good anti-corrosion, rainproof and rustproof functions.

What other components should be considered when choosing solar panels?

Fixed clamps for solar panels

In order to make the solar system more stable in the roof operation, to overcome the bad weather, the installer will use the two fixed parts of the middle clamp and end clamp, the size of the end clamp is larger than the middle clamp, both of them play a fixed role between the solar panels and the end of the solar cell system respectively, these clamps fix the solar panels on the track, so that they become a whole, more secure and solid.

Preparatory work to be done before installing the bracket

1. Inspection of the quality of the stent

All the mounting products will be scrutinized strictly before they are put into the market, and get the certificates in accordance with the national standards and industry regulations. Undoubtedly, these certificates are an important basis for you to check whether the products you receive are qualified or not. Qualified products tend to have better performance and longer service life, which can save you the cost of later replacement and maintenance. The certification criteria include the materials used, reference hours of use and product test results. You need to double check these qualifications before making a choice that will last for decades to come.

2. Make a detailed understanding of the roof condition

Installing a solar energy system requires a comprehensive understanding of the roof conditions. For example, in terms of the amount of solar power you need, you need to examine the area of the roof and the size of the solar panels, and then make a reasonable arrangement, including the space that needs to be left for later maintenance. The condition of the roof has a bearing on whether the solar racking can be installed smoothly and how long it will last. Considerations must include the size of the roof, whether there is any equipment on the roof that will be affected by the racking, and so on. In short, an examination of the roof condition before installation is necessary.

3. Special construction of roof fixing brackets

Want to build the bracket material tightly fixed in the roof, we need special structure to complete this work, rafters are often used one, this structure is simple, but can play a good role in fixing, and easy to operate. However, it is important to note that the integrity of the structure must be ensured in order to maximize its effectiveness, so you should always double-check before installing the rafters. The next thing is that the reasonable arrangement of the spacing between the rafters can make the whole system of the bracket more stable.

4. Installation of the rails of the bracket

Bracket made of track is one of the components of the solar bracket, and its main purpose is to carry solar panels. The material of the bracket track is usually made of aluminium. The use of bracket rails can be accurately and clearly divided into several areas of the installation of solar panels, can be clear about the alignment of each panel, reducing the space utilization caused by cluttered installation is reduced, and can enhance the overall installation of solar panels safety and aesthetics.
