Aluminium has been widely used in creating light, durable frames and structures for solar panels as it offers heat bearing capability, corrosion resistant and weather-resistant advantages to solar panel architectures. The malleability of aluminium allows the manufacturers to give shapes as per customer’s requirement.
Aluminium is used for photovoltaic (PV) solar application because it saves installation cost and is much lighter and does not compromise on the strength quotient.
We are trying to analyse some of the top players in PV Aluminium Frame market around the world covering United States, EU, China, and Japan with some information on the company profiles, product details, capacity, PV Aluminium Frame production etc.
Here is a list of top five PV Aluminium Frames Manufacturers of 2017. The list takes reference from a research report PV Aluminium Frame Market 2017 by Market.biz and is dynamic depending on changing market conditions.
