Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in your PV panel frames?

Our PV panel frames are manufactured from high-quality steel, specifically selected for its strength and corrosion resistance. We offer hot-dip galvanized steel (typically with an average coating weight of 550 g/m²) as standard. This coating meets the ASTM A123 standard, providing excellent protection against corrosion in harsh environments. For additional protection in particularly corrosive locations (such as coastal areas), we can also supply frames with a powder-coated finish or additional paint that enhances durability and aesthetics. The steel is sourced from reputable mills and undergoes rigorous incoming inspection to ensure compliance with international standards like ASTM A36 or S235JR. Our frames are designed to offer a service life of at least 25 years, matching the expected lifespan of solar panels.
Absolutely! We specialize in customized engineering and OEM manufacturing. Our in-house engineering team can design PV panel frames to meet specific dimensions, load requirements, and mounting configurations. Whether you need frames for unusual roof profiles, ground installations with adjustable tilts, or special wind load resistance, we can tailor our products accordingly. We also provide technical support, including structural calculations and drawings, to ensure compliance with local building codes. For OEM orders, we can imprint your brand logo and provide custom packaging. Our production line is flexible enough to handle both standard and bespoke orders with short lead times. Contact us with your specifications, and we will deliver the perfect solution.
Our PV panel frames are designed to withstand high wind loads and snow loads, complying with international standards such as Eurocode and ASCE 7. The exact load capacity depends on the frame design and installation configuration, but our standard fixed-tilt frames can support wind speeds up to 200 km/h and snow loads up to 1.5 kN/m² (approximately 150 kg/m²). For higher loads, we can reinforce the frame or use a denser support system. We perform rigorous structural analysis using finite element analysis (FEA) to validate the designs. Each project receives a specific calculation to ensure safety and performance. Our goal is to ensure that your PV installations remain stable and secure throughout their operational life.
Yes, we provide a 12-year product warranty for our PV panel frames, covering manufacturing defects and material failures. This warranty reflects our confidence in the durability of our products. Additionally, we offer a 25-year performance guarantee on the galvanization coating, ensuring that the frame does not corrode to the point of structural failure under normal conditions. In the unlikely event of any issues, our customer service team is ready to provide technical support and replacement parts. Our warranty is backed by internationally recognized quality assurance processes, and we are happy to provide a detailed warranty certificate upon request.
Our PV panel frames are engineered to optimize the performance of your solar system in several ways. Firstly, the precise angle of the frame ensures maximum solar irradiation capture throughout the day. Secondly, the frames are designed with minimal shading on the panels, allowing for optimal light absorption. Thirdly, the robust construction maintains the exact tilt and orientation even in adverse weather conditions, preventing energy losses due to misalignment. Additionally, our frames allow for proper airflow around the panels, reducing operating temperature and improving efficiency. By choosing high-quality frames, you not only enhance energy yield but also reduce maintenance downtime. At STEEL, we are committed to providing products that maximize the return on your photovoltaic investment.

Reviews

Michael Johnson

"We have used STEEL's PV panel frames for two large-scale solar farms in Australia. The frames are incredibly sturdy and held up well during strong windstorms. The galvanization is top-notch, no signs of rust even after a year. The installation crew appreciated the pre-drilled holes and easy alignment, which saved us significant time. STEEL's team provided excellent technical support, helping us customize the frames for our specific load requirements. I highly recommend their PV panel frames for any commercial project."

Elena Rodriguez

"Our company specializes in rooftop solar installations, and we needed a frame that could adapt to different roof types. STEEL delivered custom PV panel frames that perfectly matched our specifications. The quality is outstanding—the steel is thick and the coating is uniform. Despite the custom design, the lead time was shorter than expected. The frames are now installed on over 50 residential and commercial rooftops, and customers have given positive feedback about the sturdiness. The OEM service allowed us to brand the frames, enhancing our company image. STEEL is now our go-to supplier for PV panel frames."

Advanced Corrosion Protection

Advanced Corrosion Protection

Our PV panel frames feature hot-dip galvanized coating that conforms to ASTM A123 standards, ensuring a thick, uniform layer of zinc that guards against rust and corrosion. This protection is critical for frames exposed to harsh weather conditions, such as humidity, rain, and salt spray in coastal areas. The coating is self-healing, meaning minor scratches are protected by sacrificial zinc. This results in a frame lifespan of over 25 years, reducing replacement costs and downtime. Our commitment to superior corrosion protection sets STEEL apart, giving your solar project a competitive edge.
