Solar panel mounts are critical to the effectiveness of your solar system. Of course, the amount of power are able to generate is dependent on how much sun of your solar panels can absorb, and this is affected by the solar mounts. Therefore, to get the very best out of your solar power system, it is the top importance that you havereliable and effective mounts.

One of the main considerations when constructing or buying solar panel mounts is that they are strong enough, as ideally they should withstand several years of exposure to the elements.

What Materials Are Solar Mounts Made of?

The main materials of the solar mounts are aluminum and steel. Which material you choose will depend on your budget and your location. For example, aluminum is lightweight, making it easy to shape and weld. In addition, it is hardwearing and will resist corrosion. However, it can be an expensive option.

In the meantime, steel is more economical and strong.

What is Wind Load?

Depending on the angle that your solar panels are placed, the mounts will be exposed to varying pressure from the wind. This pressure, known as wind load, needs to be taken into consideration when choosing a material and building.

You may need to ask the advice of a local contractor to establish what your wind load will be. Obviously, it is a good idea to prepare for the worst case scenario. In other words, consider the very worst conditions that your locale may experience.
