AL6005/AL6063 Oxidation Supporting System Aluminum Solar Panel Aluminum Profile Extrusions are critical components in photovoltaic (PV) solar mounting structures, providing the structural framework for securing solar panels. These profiles are meticulously engineered from high-grade aluminum alloys—specifically AL6005-T5 and AL6063-T5/T6—each selected for its unique combination of strength, workability, and corrosion resistance. The oxidation (anodized) finish applied to these profiles further enhances their durability and aesthetic appeal, making them ideal for long-term outdoor solar installations in diverse environmental conditions.

Key Features

• High-Quality Aluminum Alloys:
  • AL6005-T5: Known for its superior strength and excellent fatigue resistance, making it suitable for high-load-bearing applications and main support structures.
  • AL6063-T5/T6: Offers good strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior surface finish, commonly used for versatile profiles and components requiring precise extrusion.
• Oxidation (Anodized) Treatment: An advanced surface treatment process that creates a thick, protective oxide layer on the aluminum. This layer significantly boosts corrosion resistance, protects against UV degradation, and provides an attractive, durable finish.
• Customizable Profiles: Aluminum extrusion allows for the creation of a wide variety of complex and precise cross-sectional shapes, catering to specific design requirements for rails, clamps, and other mounting components.
• Lightweight yet Strong: Despite being lightweight, these aluminum profiles offer exceptional structural integrity and high strength-to-weight ratios, crucial for simplifying installation and minimizing the load on rooftops.
• Excellent Thermal Conductivity: Aluminum’s inherent thermal conductivity helps dissipate heat from the solar panels, which can contribute to maintaining optimal operating temperatures and efficiency.
• Recyclability: Aluminum is 100% recyclable without loss of its natural properties, making it an environmentally friendly choice for sustainable solar energy systems.

Applications

• Rooftop Solar Mounting Systems: Extensively used in both residential and commercial rooftop installations as rails, clamps, and support structures for securing solar panels.
