Lightweight Flexible Solar Energy Support Frame

• Lightweight construction: Reduces structural load on roofs or installations, making it suitable for locations with weight constraints.

• Flexible and adaptable: Customizable to different dimensions and load capacities; able to accommodate varied installations. 

• Durable finishes: Available in galvanized, epoxy-coated, or unbonded finishes, meeting standards such as ASTM A123, ISO 1461, EN10346, UL 797, etc. 

• Terrain/structure adaptability: Flexible mounting systems allow large spans, elevated clearances, and use on uneven or challenging terrain. 

• Cost and installation efficiency: Reduced supporting structure/steel use, simpler installation methods, and better land or roof‐utilisation in certain setups.

• Roof installations on buildings where the structural bearing capacity is limited — the lightweight frame helps minimise added load.

• Ground‐mounted solar farms or “PV +” schemes (e.g., agrivoltaics, fishery PV, forestry) where large spans or elevated clearances are beneficial.

• Installations on uneven terrain, slopes, tidal flats, or sites requiring elevated clearances for dual‐use beneath the array. 

• Retrofits or installations where adaptability and customization of frame dimensions and load specification are needed.

• Environments require corrosion‐resistant support systems due to the finishes offered.

1. What is the Lightweight Flexible Solar Energy Support Frame used for?
This frame is designed to support solar panels on roofs, grounds, or uneven surfaces. Its flexible and lightweight structure makes it ideal for both residential and commercial solar installations.

Q: What materials are used to manufacture the support frame?
A: The frame is typically made from high-strength steel or aluminum alloy with surface finishes such as hot-dip galvanizing, epoxy coating, or anodizing to ensure corrosion resistance and long-term durability.

Q: Can the frame be customized for different project sizes?
A: Yes. The system allows customization in terms of dimensions, load capacity, and finish type to meet specific project requirements and local environmental conditions.

Q: Is the installation process complicated?
A: No. The frame is designed for easy assembly with pre-drilled holes and modular components, which significantly reduces installation time and labor costs.

Q: How does this frame perform in extreme weather conditions?
A: It is engineered to withstand heavy wind loads, snow, and temperature fluctuations. The corrosion-resistant coating and flexible design ensure stability and long service life even in harsh environments.
