Iron frame for solar power generation

Why do you need a steel frame for a solar module?

Replacing aluminum frames with Origami Solar’s patented, roll-formed steel frame improves the performance of the entire module by protecting module glass and solar cells from damage. Higher performing Origami steel frames reduce installation breakage and cell cracks that reduce energy production and increase O&M costs over the life of a project.

Should you choose a steel solar panel frame provider?

Aesthetics: Some may find the silver color of steel frames less visually appealing compared to the black frames commonly used with aluminum. However, powder coating can be applied to steel frames for a more aesthetically pleasing finish. When selecting a steel solar panel frame provider, consider expertise, quality, and customization options.

Where are origami solar patented steel frames made?

Origami Solar’s manufacturing partners will produce Origami Solar patented steel frames from multiple locations across the United States offering redundancy, reliability, and optimal logistics. Manufacturing is ready to scale in the US and Europe and can be adapted for other regions.

Are ground mounting steel frames suitable for PV solar power plant projects?

In the photovoltaic (PV) solar power plant projects, PV solar panel (SP) support structure is one of the main elements and limited numerical studies exist on PVSP ground mounting steel frames to be a research gap that has not be addressed adequately in the literature.

Should solar developers switch from aluminum to steel frames?

For an industry committed to delivering clean energy, the switch from aluminum to steel frames delivers a dramatic decarbonization benefit and is the obvious procurement choice for solar developers and investors.

What is a solar panel frame?

A crucial component of a solar panel is its frame, which provides structural support and protects the delicate photovoltaic cells within. Traditionally, aluminum has been the dominant material for solar panel frames. However, steel frames are gaining traction due to their unique advantages.
