Professional Analysis: Why Aluminum 6005 Is the First Option forSolar Mounting Brackets
As an experienced solar mounting manufacturer, we have recently received many inquiries regarding materials for solar PV brackets, especially for solar panel clamps. Customers often ask: What is the difference between solar aluminum extrusions like 6005, 6063, and 6061 when applied in solar racking systems, and which one is more suitable for my solar power project?
We understand your concerns. In solar mounting systems, choosing the right material is directly connected to the long-term safety and stability of the solar structure. This article provides a professional analysis of why we primarily recommend 6005 aluminum for solar racks.
Core Analysis: Strength Is the Key for Solar Power Station
In solar structural analysis,yield streng this a key measure of a material's ability to resist permanent deformation, which directly concerns the safety of solar projects.
6005-T5: Yield strength ≥240 MPa
6063-T6: Yield strength ≈160 MPa
This data means that under an identical design,6005 aluminum extrusion profiles can bear a larger load, providing a higher safety margin. For solar power projects facing wind and snow loads, higher material strength is the foundation of long-term reliability.
The Comprehensive Advantages of Aluminum 6005
Besides higher strength, 6005 aluminum also offers excellent extrudability and corrosion resistance. It can be formed into complex and precise solar profiles while maintaining structural integrity, making it perfectly suitable for innovative solar clamp and pv rail designs. Its superior weather ability ensures long-term durability in outdoor environments.
Understanding and Flexibility: Why We Also Offer 6063
We deeply understand that markets vary. Many customers, especially those from the window and door industry, are familiar with and trust 6063 alloy for its good for mability and surface finish.
To respect customer choice while ensuring solar project safety, when we use 6063 for solar components, we employ the stricter T66 temper. T66 is based on the T6 process (solution heat treatment and artificial aging) but with more precise control, ensuring the material's mechanical properties consistently reach the higher end of the specification, thereby better meeting the strength requirements for photovoltaic mounting systems.
Our Commitment: Supporting Your Green Energy Project with Professionalism
Choosing a material is about selecting long-term security and value. We are not just a manufacturer but your solar structure technical partner. We are committed to:
1.Professional Design: Calculating and designing mounting brackets based on your project's specific environmental and load requirements.
2.Reasonable Suggestion: Recommending the most cost-effective solar material solution(typically 6005) based on pv structural analysis and life cycle value.
3.Flexible Production: Respecting your supply chain preferences. When you choose 6063, we ensure enhanced performance through our optimized T66 processing.
