Aluminum Solar Mounting Rails (Our Base) | Residential metal roofs, flat roofs | - Anodized finish (ASTM B580, 20μm thickness) - 6063-T5 aluminum alloy (Yield strength: 18 ksi) - 10-year warranty | ▲ Lightweight (Density: 2.7 g/cm³) ▲ Corrosion-resistant (Salt spray test: 1,000 hrs) | Warranty duration shorter than premium tiers Lower load capacity (Max: 1,200 N/m²) |
Aluminum Solar Mounting Rails (Our Advanced) | Commercial rooftops, carports | - Hardcoat anodized finish (ASTM B580, 25μm) - 6061-T6 aluminum alloy (Yield strength: 27 ksi) - 20-year warranty | ▲▲ Enhanced durability (Salt spray test: 2,500 hrs) ▲▲ Higher load capacity (Max: 2,000 N/m²) | Premium pricing due to advanced alloy and coating |
Steel Solar Mounting Systems (Industry Standard) | Industrial ground mounts, heavy-duty sites | - Galvanized steel (ASTM A123, 85μm zinc coating) - Carbon steel (Yield strength: 50 ksi) - 15-year warranty | ▲ High load capacity (Max: 3,000 N/m²) ▲ Lower cost for bulk purchases | ▲▲ Heavier (Density: 7.8 g/cm³) Risk of corrosion without premium coatings |
Concrete Ballasted Mounts | Flat roofs with limited weight capacity | - Modular concrete blocks (Weight: 50–100 kg/unit) - No roof penetration required | ▲ No structural roof modifications needed ▲ Cost-effective for short-term installations | ▲▲ High maintenance (Requires re-leveling after rain) Space-intensive |
Roof-Mounted Clamps | Sloped roofs, residential installations | - Stainless steel clamps (ASTM A182 F321) - Adjustable pitch compatibility (15°–45°) | ▲ Easy installation (No drilling) ▲ Compact design for aesthetic sites | ▲▲ Limited load capacity (Max: 800 N/m²) Not suitable for high-wind zones |
Ground-Mounted Tubular Systems | Open fields, agricultural sites | - Galvanized steel tubes (OD: 4"–6", ASTM A53) - Adjustable tilt (0°–60°) | ▲ Optimal sun tracking flexibility ▲▲ High ground coverage for large arrays | ▲▲ Requires land permits and excavation Higher upfront cost for large-scale setups |
