FOCUS Solar PV Modules Alloy Steel Frame

Short summary Italian company search technology in the fields of Solar PV Modules Alloy Steel Frame. Difference between Alloy Steel and Aluminum frame in order to achieve the carbon peak & carbon neutralization target and to reduce the total cost of solar system. The company is looking for partner to sign technology transfer agreements.

Full description The technology request have to achieve the carbon peak & carbon neutralization target, compared with the electrolytic aluminum industry, the energy consumption of steel material has decreased by 3 times and the carbon emission has decreased by 6.2 times. To reduce the total cost of solar system: the international aluminum price increased by over 70% to peak recently. The possible Issues are: 1) HigherWeight: for Titan series module with steel frame no more than 2Kg than that of the aluminum framed module 3E test passed for the packaging and transportation assessment. In terms of system installation: no need to readjust the bracket design and no increasing in the cost. 2) Corrosion Resistance: test passed thanks to a dense ternary eutectic structure composed of Zn, Al and Zn2Mg that forms a dense barrier on the surface of the steel plate, preventing the penetration of corrosion factors.

Advantages and innovations The actual Bill Of Materials of the company PV module provide the use of aluminum standard frame, anyway equipment could be readapted with no big problems(if the dimensional specification are the same) --Thermal expansion steel is close to glass lower the risk of glass broken when module worked under extremely environment of temperature change --Higher tear resistance adaptability in extreme weather

Technical Specification or Expertise Sought Expertise in new material (steel, plastic, etc.) from a technical and economic point of view
