The Use of Aluminium Profiles in Solar Systems

aluprime.com

It is of great importance that the supporting structures used in solar energy systems are robust, lightweight and long-lasting.

Thanks to these properties, aluminium solar profiles are amongst the most commonly chosen solutions for solar panel installations.

Lightweight and Durable Construction

Whilst aluminium’s lightweight nature simplifies installation processes, its robust construction ensures that solar systems can be used reliably over the long term. Thanks to the variety of profile cross-sections available, it is possible to adapt to a wide range of panel and mounting system designs.

Solutions Suitable for Solar Projects

The requirements of each project may vary. Therefore, solar system profiles should be selected to suit the specific project by evaluating them according to their dimensions, cross-sections and intended application.

At Prime Aluminium, we contribute to the infrastructure of sustainable energy systems by providing aluminium profile solutions suitable for solar energy applications.

Robust and reliable aluminium solutions for the energy of the future.

Raw materials

Approximately 85 per cent of global bauxite production is used as a raw material in the production of alumina via the Bayer process.

Alumina Formula

Alumina is, chemically speaking, aluminium oxide, and its formula is Al₂O₃.

Melting Point

The melting point of aluminium is approximately 660 °C.

The Third Element

Aluminium is the third most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, after oxygen and silicon.

Recyclable

Aluminium can be recycled at the end of its service life and used in new production.

Light

Aluminium is about a third lighter than steel.

Areas of Application

Aluminium profiles can be used in a wide range of applications, such as joinery, furniture, curtains, shutters, awnings, automatic doors and solar systems.
