The Solar Weight Test: Why Frame Thickness is the Secret to Surviving 200 km/h Storms

The Solar Weight Test Why Frame Thickness is the Secret to Surviving 200 km per h Storms

Let me say at the outset, Solitech Solar is another name for sustainability and quality.

When we buy a solar panel, the first thing we pay attention to is the price and wattage. But have you ever thought about its frame? Especially in Gujarat, there are many areas where wind speed is very high. In such a situation, if the panels do not work, the investment goes to waste. 25-year warranty means nothing.

Here’s why the frame of our panels is a stunning example of engineering.

1) Wet Test and Structural Engineering

It is a natural thing that temperature or climate are not fixed, so it is important for the panel to withstand all these challenges. We use premium grade anodized aluminum that is thicker. This thickness gives the panel torsional stiffness, which prevents it from bending or breaking under wind pressure.

2) Protection against 200 km/h storms

Many states in India are prone to cyclones. It is essential for solar panels to survive in such conditions.In such a situation, if the panel is thin and weak, there is a possibility of breakage. Solitech panels are tested to withstand snow loads of 5400 Pascals and wind loads of 2400 Pascals.

3) Protection against corrosion

In life, not only thickness is important, but also quality. Our panels are manufactured in a way that prevents the panels from rusting even in the humid environment of the marine area.

Conclusion

Solar panels are a long-term investment for your home or business. If you choose a panel with a weak frame, you are putting your entire investment at risk during a storm.

How Solitech’s Hydrophobic Coating Saves You Thousands in Cleaning Costs?

It is said that when it comes to making important decisions in life, you should make them now because a good opportunity doesn’t come around again. Last month, when the Solitech Solar team was on a site visit, they saw people cleaning the panels by climbing very high, that is on top of the solar panels. There was a risk of slipping while doing this work. Those people were unfortunate that they did not order solar from Solitech Solar. We provide special hydrophobic coating panels. This automatically cleans the dirt or dust on your panels. People are installing solar panels in large numbers, the main purpose of which is to eliminate the cost of electricity bills. You must have heard many times that something that benefits us also has disadvantages. One such disadvantage is the dust that remains on the solar panels after they are installed. Solitech Solar has received many customer questions that when we clean solar panels, water or dust remains on them, which reduces their efficiency. That’s why we have brought you special hydrophobic coating panels.
