Extruded Aluminum Mid Clamps are essential components in photovoltaic (PV) solar mounting structures, specifically designed to secure solar panels in place. These mid clamps are made from high-quality extruded aluminum, known for its strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. They are particularly suitable for thin-film solar modules, which require precise and gentle clamping to prevent damage. The clamp’s design ensures a secure grip on the thin-film panels, maintaining their proper spacing and alignment within the solar array.

Key Features

• Material: Constructed from extruded aluminum, offering excellent durability, lightweight properties, and resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor environments.
• Thin Film Compatibility: Specifically designed with appropriate dimensions and clamping surfaces to securely hold thin-film solar modules without causing damage to the delicate edges.
• Secure Panel Fastening: Provides a strong and stable grip on the solar panels, preventing movement and ensuring they remain in position even under various environmental conditions like wind and snow loads.
• Mid-Clamp Design: Positioned between two solar panels in an array, these clamps ensure consistent spacing and alignment, contributing to the overall structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the solar installation.
• Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward and efficient installation, often featuring pre-assembled components that reduce labor time and simplify the mounting process.
• Anodized Finish: Typically treated with an anodized finish to further enhance corrosion resistance and provides an aesthetically pleasing look that matches most solar panel frames.

Applications

• Residential Solar Installations: Used in rooftop solar systems for homes, ensuring secure and durable mounting of thin-film panels.
• Commercial Solar Projects: Ideal for large-scale solar arrays on commercial buildings, including warehouses, factories, and office complexes.
• Industrial Solar Farms: Employed in utility-scale solar farms where extensive arrays of thin-film panels require reliable and consistent clamping solutions.
• Thin-Film Solar Module Mounting: Essential for any installation utilizing thin-film PV technology, providing the necessary support and protection for these modules.
• Custom Solar Structures: Versatile enough to be integrated into various custom solar mounting solutions, including ground mounts and carports, where thin-film panels are preferred.

Advantages

• Optimized for Thin Film: Guarantees secure and damage-free mounting of thin-film solar panels, which are more sensitive to clamping pressure.
• High Durability: Extruded aluminum construction ensures a long lifespan and resistance to harsh weather conditions, reducing maintenance needs.
• Enhanced Stability: Provides superior stability and rigidity to the entire solar array, crucial for performance and safety.
