Solar power generation stainless steel frame

Why do you need a steel frame for a solar module?

Replacing aluminum frames with Origami Solar’s patented, roll-formed steel frame improves the performance of the entire module by protecting module glass and solar cells from damage. Higher performing Origami steel frames reduce installation breakage and cell cracks that reduce energy production and increase O&M costs over the life of a project.

Could steel PV frames shore up the solar industry?

Steel PV frames could shore up (and on-shore) an inherent weak spot in the current industry. This is the potential that sealed the DOE American-Made Solar Prize last year, and why the support is rallying for Origami’s innovation. “The solar industry has been around for 45 years,” Patterson notes.

Is stainless steel the future of solar energy?

The challenge lies in capturing its radiation and transforming, transporting and storing the energy. As in many areas of energy transformation and use, stainless steel plays a key role in solar technology – and has the potential to grow further.

Should solar developers switch from aluminum to steel frames?

For an industry committed to delivering clean energy, the switch from aluminum to steel frames delivers a dramatic decarbonization benefit and is the obvious procurement choice for solar developers and investors.

Does solar energy use stainless steel?
