Solar Panel Aluminum Frame — Anodized, G1/M6/M10/M12
Solar panel aluminum frame, anodized and cut for G1/M6/M10/M12 module sizes, with complete extrusion, cutting and corner-key supply from one line.
Quick answer: A solar panel aluminium frame is the anodised extrusion that forms the structural backbone of a PV module. It carries mechanical load, protects the glass edge, provides the mounting interface and gives the module its stacking strength for transport. Frames are extruded from 6063 aluminium alloy, cut to length, punched for mounting holes and corner-keyed, then anodised for corrosion resistance. Profile wall thickness typically runs 2.0 mm to 2.5 mm, and the anodising layer 0.2 mm and above, depending on snow and wind load rating. Frames must satisfy IEC 61215 mechanical load and UL 1703 requirements. Corner keys and the silicone seal between frame and glass carry much of the wind and snow load, and the mounting holes are positioned so the module clamps onto the rail without point-loading the glass edge. Ooitech supplies complete aluminium frame production equipment — extrusion, cutting, punching and corner assembly — for module lines from 5 MW to 1 GW.
