Polyurethane-Based Solar PV Frames
Polyurethane composite frames offer a high-performance alternative to conventional aluminum extrusions for photovoltaic modules. Manufactured through pultrusion with glass fiber reinforcement, these frames combine lightweight properties with outstanding mechanical strength.
Key benefits include:
Low weight, high rigidity– About one-third the density of aluminum, yet excellent tensile strength. The thermal expansion closely matches that of glass, reducing micro-crack risks in solar cells.
Superior corrosion resistance– Inherently resistant to salt spray, humidity, acids, and alkalis. Ideal for harsh environments such as coastal, floating, or industrial rooftop PV systems.
Naturally non-conductive– No need for anodizing or grounding clips. Eliminates PID (potential-induced degradation) risks and enhances system safety.
Lower carbon footprint– Energy consumption in production is only 10–20% of that for primary aluminum, supporting greener solar manufacturing.
Typical applications:Offshore PV, distributed rooftop projects, and agrivoltaic installations where durability and insulation matter most.
