Solar module frames & mounting systems

Frames for the module and racking for the site — two product lines, quoted separately, made in the same plant.

Solar module frames & mounting systems — extruded aluminium profile

01Have these ready

Six things that turn a slow quote into a fast one.

01
Which product line — frames for modules, or mounting/racking
They are separate products with separate specs and prices
02
The module drawing (frames), or the site and array layout (racking)
One sets the section, the other sets the load case
03
Wind / snow load (for racking)
Rail section and wall follow the load, not the other way round
04
Anodized colour — clear or black
Module frames usually run black; say if yours differ
05
Project volume (sets or MW)
Sizes the production plan and the price
06
Certification or test requirements
Names the documents that must ship with the goods

02Where it's used

Module frames

Extrusions that wrap the laminate edge, machined for corner keys and mounting holes to the module maker's drawing.

Edge protection — Module frames, Solar module frames & mounting systems

Edge protection

Frame sections that seal the laminate against handling damage and weather.

Machined corners & holes — Module frames, Solar module frames & mounting systems

Machined corners & holes

Corner-key pockets and mounting holes cut to the module drawing.

Clamp fit — Module frames, Solar module frames & mounting systems

Clamp fit

Frame geometry sized so standard mid- and end-clamps seat correctly.

Mounting / racking systems

Rails and supports sized against the site's wind and snow case, cut and drilled for the array layout.

Rooftop systems — Mounting / racking systems, Solar module frames & mounting systems

Rooftop systems

Rails and clamp interfaces for pitched and flat roof installations.

Ground-mount structures — Mounting / racking systems, Solar module frames & mounting systems

Ground-mount structures

Structural rails and posts for fixed-tilt ground arrays.

Load-rated sections — Mounting / racking systems, Solar module frames & mounting systems

Load-rated sections

Wall thickness and section chosen from the project's load case.

04Three confirmations before production

01

Can we make it?

The chosen section — frame or rail — plus wall and alloy get checked against the load case and the press range.

02

Machining & finish agreed

Corner-key pockets, mounting holes, cutting and the anodize or mill finish are fixed in the quote.

03

Proof before shipping

Dimensional and coating checks run per batch, with load or material documentation as your project requires.

Machining and surface treatment happen here, in the same plant — CNC & machining · Finishing.

05Quality & certification

Heat and lot numbers follow every batch
Dimensional reports measured against the signed drawing
Coating-thickness and salt-spray checks on finished surfaces
Third-party inspection arranged on request

06Frequently asked questions

Do frames and racking come from the same supplier here?

Yes — they are two product lines out of one plant. The frame fits the laminate; the racking carries the array. Order one or both; each is quoted against its own drawing and load case.

Bare frame profiles, or machined and ready to assemble?

Both exist: plain lengths, or frames with corner-key pockets and mounting holes machined to the module maker's drawing so assembly is a press-fit exercise. The RFQ just needs to say which.

How is wind and snow load handled on racking?

The load case comes first: you share the site figures and array layout, and the rail section, wall and alloy are chosen to carry them. We do not publish a generic load number, because your site is not generic.

Clear or black anodize on module frames?

Black is the common call for module appearance, clear is the durable default — both run on our lines, and the shade is matched to your module maker's spec before the batch.
