Aluminum extruded frames are now used to support, mount, and protect solar panels. These frames are usually fastened to the roof shingles, or mounted on a special support. The frames act as a form of guard for the solar panels and keep them from breaking. Without the frames, the solar panels can be displaced by wind and rain storms. Furthermore, because aluminum remains chemically stable and corrosion resistant, the glass will stay in place, even after many years of use. In order to successfully provide the extended warranty that accompany the sale of most solar panels, it is important use the high quality solar panels edge frames that we manufacture.

The following qualities make our solar panels edge unique and outstanding:

Strength and Light Weight
The frames and supports we produce through our advanced aluminum extrusion technology are lighter than other metals like steel. Therefore, they are easy to transport and install in very remote areas where many solar power stations are located. For rooftop installations, these lightweight frames are very essential because of the limited capacity that most residential and commercial roofs have to support the extra weight of solar panels. In addition to their light weight, these aluminum frames provide adequate strength to keep the solar panels in place. The strength of aluminum solar panels edge is comparable to that of steel so they can withstand the effects of rain and wind storms.

Chemical Stability Corrosion Resistance
After solar panels are assembled and installed, they are constantly exposed to harsh weather elements. The intense heat of the sun coupled with rain, snow, wind, and other elements can have a devastating effect on the surface of the frame. However, due to aluminum's corrosion-resistance and chemical stability, the frames remain strong and sturdy for several decades. Aluminum does not rust or corrode so it can be left out exposed without the need for additional coating or maintenance.

Dimensional Accuracy
Extruded aluminum frames maintain their structural integrity under all weather conditions. Whether they are exposed to the intense heat and humidity during summer or the ice cold temperatures during winter, they neither melt, expand or contract. Aluminum frames do not get warped so the glass base of the solar panels will remain stable. For improved power efficiency, the solar panels must remain in one position without any movement, vibration, or shadows.

Design Flexibility
Aluminum's malleability makes it an excellent choice for production of customized solar panel frames. Using aluminum for the production of solar panel frames permits flexibility in design and manufacture of various structural shapes, and strength to meet the needs of various kinds of residential, commercial and industrial solar installations.
