Fastening for solar energy: screws, nuts and brackets for solar panels

Solar panels, or solar panels, are the main part of a solar power plant that converts solar energy into electricity. It is extremely important to ensure the secure mounting of solar panels and orient them in space so that the effect of savings and passive income from their use was maximized throughout the year.

It is most rational to place the mounting of solar panels so that the rays of the midday sun fall perpendicular to the surface of photovoltaic modules. The angle of the midday sun relative to the horizon depends on latitude and, moreover, its value in winter and summer is different. In addition, the features of mounting solar panels depend on the landscape of the land and the characteristics of the buildings on which they will be installed.

Sloping or flat roofs and facades of buildings are mostly used for mounting solar panels in the private sector, and therefore the ideal angle of 45-50 ° (for Ukraine) and direction (south, southwest, southeast) can not always be achieved. In addition, the specifics of the choice of mounting for solar panels are influenced by the materials of the facade and roof.

Screws, nuts and brackets for mounting solar panels

The subtleties of the choice and installation of mounting for solar panels in each case are determined individually, and universal hardware for solar panels in general does not exist. We offer you a list of available options for mounting solar panels.

• Combined screw-screw (screw-pin, threaded nail, plumbing pin) ART 9082 is designed for mounting solar panels on wooden structures (rafter roof system, wooden facade battens, etc.). A screw is a rod with a screw thread on the underside (for screwing into wood) and a smooth or threaded end with a metric screw thread on the other end (for fastening tasks). The end part for screwing the plumbing pin can have a different shape (for example, under a hex key or under a screwdriver with a six-beam slot type Torx). This hardware for mounting solar panels is made of stainless steel A2 and A4.

• T-bolt AN 612 and T-nuts (T-slot crackers) AN 601, AN 602, AN 604, AN 606, AN 607 for profiles of photovoltaic modules and grooves have protrusions of a special shape that protect the metal from turning. Choose T-shaped groove crackers, focusing on the height of the groove and T-shaped protrusion. In addition to standard T-shaped hardware, you should pay attention to the spring-shaped T-nuts AN 604 and T-nuts AN 606 with a ball lock. These products for mounting solar panels are made of galvanized steel.

• КBrackets and clamps ART 9521, ART 9525, ART 9543, ART 9583 from A2 steel are required for fastening of solar panels on various bases (for example, on a ceramic tile, slate, a metal tile, a professional flooring, a bituminous tile, etc.). Depending on the features of mounting solar panels use intermodule and end clamps, as well as the appropriate brackets and corners. Products are used in pair with the combined screw-screws and other metalware.

High-quality mounting of solar panels ensures their long-term, reliable and uninterrupted operation.
