With the wide application of solar energy system, photovoltaic racking as an important part of supporting solar modules, its selection has an important impact on the stability, efficiency and cost of the system. Color steel tile photovoltaic racking as a special type of solar racking, in recent years, gradually received attention. So, what is the difference between color steel tile photovoltaic solar racking and other types of racking? And where are its advantages and disadvantages? This article will provide you with a detailed analysis.
What is color steel tile solar racking?
Color steel tile solar racking is a type of solar racking system specifically designed to be installed on color steel tile roofs. Color steel tile is a common building material, widely used in industrial plants, warehouses, agricultural greenhouses and other building roofs. Due to its lightweight, durability and low cost, color steel tile roofs are ideal for installing distributed photovoltaic systems. Color steel tile solar racking is designed to adapt to the special structure of color steel tile roofs to ensure that solar modules can be firmly installed without damaging the waterproof performance of the roof.
The difference between color steel tile solar racking and other racking
1. Different installation scenarios
Color Steel Tile Solar Racking: It is specially used for color steel tile roofs, applicable to industrial plants, warehouses and other buildings.
Other mounts: such as ground mounts, concrete roof mounts, etc., applicable to ground power stations, flat roofs or pitched roofs and other scenarios.
2. Different structure design
Color Steel Tile Solar Racking: Adopting clamping or penetrating design, it is directly fixed on the peaks or valleys of the color steel tiles without extra holes to avoid damaging the waterproof layer of the roof.
Other mounts: such as ground mounts usually need to be fixed by piling, and concrete roof mounts need to be fixed on the roof by expansion bolts.
3. Different materials and weight
Color Steel Tile Solar Racking: It is usually made of lightweight aluminum alloy or stainless steel, which is lighter in weight and suitable for color steel tile roofs with limited load-bearing capacity.
Other brackets: Ground bracket is mostly made of hot-dip galvanized steel, which is heavier and suitable for ground installation.
4. Different installation difficulty and cost
Color steel tile solar racking: relatively simple to install, no need for complex foundation works, low cost.
Other mounts: Ground mount requires piling and concrete foundation, complicated installation and higher cost.
How to choose the right solar racking?
When choosing solar racking, you need to consider the actual installation scene, roof type, budget and system capacity:
If it is a color steel tile roof, color steel tile solar racking is the best choice, which can protect the roof and reduce the cost.
If it is a ground power station, ground mount is more suitable, with strong bearing capacity and large installation capacity.
If it is a concrete roof, you can choose concrete roof racking, good stability and wide range of applications.
Color steel tile solar racking has become the ideal choice for color steel tile roof solar system because of its lightweight, economic and quick installation. However, the limitations of its load-bearing capacity and applicable scenarios also need to be noted. When choosing solar racking, be sure to weigh the actual needs to ensure the stability and efficient operation of the solar system.
