Solar PV racking is an important part of installing solar PV panels, and its longevity directly affects the stability and long-term profitability of the system. Here are some ways to improve the life of your PV racking:

Choose high quality materials and manufacturer: When purchasing solar mounts, it is crucial to choose quality materials and a reputable manufacturer. Choose materials that are weather resistant and corrosion resistant, such as aluminum, stainless steel or galvanized steel. These materials are able to withstand climate change and external environmental erosion of the mount, extending its lifespan. Choosing an experienced manufacturer ensures that the product meets industry standards and provides good after-sales service.

Appropriate anti-corrosion treatment: For the solar bracket made with common steel, anti-corrosion treatment can be carried out, such as hot-dip galvanizing, spraying antirust paint and so on. This can effectively prevent the generation of corrosion and slow down the aging speed of the stent.

Reasonable structural design: Solar power generation systems often face strong winds, so the wind resistance of PV mounts is an important factor in extending their life. The structural design of PV racking should be reasonable, taking into account various external forces, such as wind and snow loads. By optimizing the structural design, the stress concentration and damage risk of the bracket can be reduced, and its wind resistance and carrying capacity can be improved, thus prolonging its life.

Regular inspection and maintenance: Regularly check the condition of the PV racking, paying special attention to key parts such as welding points, bolts and fixing bases, so as to timely detect and repair possible damages or breakage, and prevent small problems from evolving into big ones. In addition, regularly clean the surface of the bracket and the space underneath the bracket to maintain good ventilation and heat dissipation to prevent corrosion and damping. According to the actual situation, carry out appropriate maintenance measures, such as cleaning the dust and dirt on the surface of the bracket, to ensure the normal operation of the PV panels.

Reasonable installation method: When installing PV racking, it is necessary to choose the appropriate installation method, strengthen the connectors of the racking, increase the rigidity and stability of the racking frame, and adopt appropriate foundation fixing methods to ensure that the connection between the racking and the foundation is solid and reliable, and provide better fixing performance. In addition, the mounting angle of the PV racking can affect the power generation efficiency of the system and the life of the racking. During the design and installation process, the appropriate mounting angle is selected according to the local sunlight angle and climate conditions to maximize solar energy capture.

Pay attention to wire wiring: when arranging the wires, the lines should be reasonably planned to avoid wires being laid on the bracket, so as to avoid friction and damage caused by the contact between the wires and the bracket. Ensure the safe distance and fixation of the wires to avoid damage to the PV bracket due to wire problems.
