Product Features

High-Precision Forming for Optimal PV System Performance

Targeting the strict dimensional requirements of solar brackets (typical specifications: C-type 100×50×20×2.0mm, Z-type 120×60×20×2.5mm), our forming machine adopts advanced multi-point precision positioning sensors and a digital control system, ensuring the dimensional tolerance of finished brackets is strictly controlled within ±0.15mm. The rolling forming rollers are crafted from high-quality alloy steel through precision forging and heat treatment, ensuring uniform stress distribution during the forming process and avoiding defects such as wrinkles, cracks, or uneven edges. This high precision guarantees seamless assembly of brackets with PV modules and trackers, maximizing the stability of the entire PV system and improving power generation efficiency by ensuring optimal light absorption angles.

Integrated High-Efficiency Production Line

Our solar bracket forming machine features a streamlined integrated production process, seamlessly combining automatic feeding, precision leveling, multi-pass rolling forming, online punching (for bolt holes and installation holes), and fixed-length cutting into a single operation. Equipped with a high-torque servo drive system and optimized roller design, the machine achieves a forming speed of up to 28 meters per minute—30% higher than conventional equipment. This high-efficiency performance ensures it can meet the large-volume production demands of gigawatt-level PV projects. Unlike traditional segmented production methods that require multiple machines and manual handling, our integrated solution eliminates intermediate links, reduces labor input by over 50%, and minimizes material waste caused by repeated positioning, significantly lowering production costs.

Robust Structure for Long-Term Stable Operation

The main frame of the machine is constructed with thick-walled rectangular steel pipes, undergoing high-temperature quenching and tempering treatment to achieve exceptional rigidity and deformation resistance—essential for handling the forming forces required for high-strength solar bracket materials. Key components such as bearings, gears, and cutting tools are sourced from renowned international brands, ensuring reliable operation even under 24/7 continuous working conditions. The machine is specifically designed to process high-strength steel sheets and aluminum sheets (thickness ranging from 1.5mm to 4.0mm, width from 100mm to 300mm), perfectly matching the raw material requirements for different types of solar brackets. With proper maintenance, the machine maintains stable performance for over 15 years, even in harsh industrial environments such as dusty workshops and coastal high-humidity areas.

Intelligent Operation & Energy-Saving Design

The machine is equipped with a user-friendly touchscreen control interface, allowing operators to complete parameter setting, production monitoring, and fault diagnosis with simple clicks. The built-in process parameter database covers all common solar bracket specifications and international standards, enabling quick setup and reducing the learning curve for new operators. In terms of energy conservation, the machine adopts an intelligent power-saving mode that automatically reduces power consumption during idling, achieving an energy-saving effect of up to 25% compared to traditional hydraulic-driven equipment. The low-noise design (below 75dB) also creates a more comfortable working environment for operators.

Flexible Customization for Diverse Application Scenarios

We recognize that solar bracket requirements vary across different regions, climates, and project types (fixed or tracking systems). Our professional R&D team provides tailored solutions, including custom mold design for non-standard bracket sizes and adjustable punching positions to match different installation standards. Additionally, we offer flexible configuration options such as automatic stacking devices, galvanizing pre-treatment systems, and online powder coating lines, forming a complete production chain from raw materials to finished, corrosion-resistant brackets. The machine’s modular design facilitates easy maintenance and future upgrades, ensuring it can adapt to emerging market needs such as BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) special brackets.

Application Areas

Large-Scale Ground PV Power Stations

The solar brackets produced by our machine are widely used in large-scale ground PV power stations, the main application scenario of the PV industry. These brackets provide stable support for PV modules in open areas, withstanding harsh weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy snow, and extreme temperatures. The high-precision and high-strength brackets ensure the stability of the entire power station structure, reducing maintenance costs and extending the service life of the power station. Our equipment has been successfully applied in numerous gigawatt-level PV base projects around the world, providing a reliable supply of high-quality brackets for large-scale renewable energy development.

Distributed PV Projects

In distributed PV projects such as industrial and commercial rooftop PV, residential rooftop PV, and agricultural PV (agri-PV), the flexibility of our solar bracket forming machine shines. It can produce lightweight and customized brackets that adapt to different roof structures and space constraints, ensuring safe and efficient installation of PV modules. For agricultural PV projects, the brackets can be designed to meet the needs of crop growth, realizing the dual benefits of power generation and agricultural production. The corrosion-resistant brackets processed by our machine are also suitable for coastal and high-humidity areas, ensuring long-term stable operation of distributed PV systems.

Special PV Application Scenarios

Our high-quality solar bracket forming machine also serves special PV application scenarios, including BIPV, floating PV power stations, and mountainous PV power stations. For BIPV projects, the machine can produce brackets that integrate with building structures, achieving a harmonious combination of power generation and architectural aesthetics. For floating PV power stations, the brackets are processed with corrosion-resistant materials and special structures to adapt to the water environment. For mountainous PV power stations, the customized brackets can fit complex terrain, maximizing the utilization of solar energy resources.
