We specialize in customizable steel mounting solutions for all your commercial and industrial solar projects.
Why Choose Steel for Your Solar Panel Mounting System
Solar panel mounting components are typically composed from either steel or aluminum. When choosing between these two materials, there are several factors to consider. In particular, it is important to determine the type of environment in which the mounting system will be used. Steel has several advantages that make it well-suited for both average and harsh climates. These advantages include:
Strength
Aluminum brackets are not as strong as brackets made from steel. Stronger brackets offer overall better security and are especially vital in areas that experience high levels of wind.
Corrosion Resistance
Steel offers a high level of corrosion resistance, which is extremely important as corrosion will impact both the appearance and the longevity of the solar panel mounting system. When properly maintained, stainless steel components will offer a service life of approximately 20 years.
Price
In addition to their superior strength, steel brackets are more affordable than their aluminum counterparts. This price difference is particularly notable in mounting systems that are intended for use in extreme environments, as the stronger steel components are more affordable upfront while also reducing the risk of needing expensive repairs in the future.
