When installing photovoltaics, everyone is focused on the power of the photovoltaic panels, and it is easy to overlook the solar brackets. In fact, the bracket is the backbone of the entire photovoltaic system, carrying the photovoltaic panels and directly determining the stability and lifespan of the power station.

Simply put, a solar bracket is a support structure used to fix solar panels. The materials commonly used are aluminum alloy, galvanized steel, and a small amount of stainless steel. It is not just a simple shelf, but also needs to withstand typhoons, rain, and sun exposure, and remain rust and deformation free outdoors for a long time.

According to the installation scenario, it is generally divided into these categories:
✅  Roof bracket: used for color steel tiles and concrete roofs, most commonly for household roof photovoltaics, compact installation, and no additional space occupation
✅  Ground support: Laying on open spaces and slopes, adjustable tilt angle, better power generation efficiency
✅  Photovoltaic carport bracket: generates electricity while parking, very popular in commercial and factory areas, dual-use for one thing
✅  Tracking bracket: can rotate with the sun, with higher power generation and higher cost, commonly used in large power plants

The bracket also has a key point - inclination angle. The angle is not randomly set, adjusted according to the local latitude. Photovoltaic panels receive more sunlight and naturally generate more electricity.

Many people think that the bracket is not important and just choose a cheap one. Poor quality brackets will corrode and loosen after two to three years, posing a safety hazard when encountering strong winds, and the maintenance cost in the later stage is very high. Priority should be given to products with proper anti-corrosion technology and compliant structural design, and quality assurance and load-bearing reports must be confirmed.

A reliable photovoltaic system, where photovoltaic panels are the core of power generation and solar brackets are the long-term and stable guarantee.
