Aluminum vs Steel: Which Lightweight Metal Reigns Supreme for Solar?

A side-by-side comparison of aluminum and steel solar panel frames, highlighting aluminum's lightweight and rust-resistant properties compared to the heavier, rust-prone steel frame.

Consider the weight: Aluminum offers substantial weight savings over steel, weighing about one-third as much. This lightness makes aluminum solar panel mounting frames easier to transport, handle and install on rooftops.
Assess the strength-to-weight ratio: Despite its light weight, aluminum provides excellent structural strength. Aluminum’s high strength-to-weight ratio means thinner, lighter frames can support the same loads as thicker, heavier steel.
Factor in corrosion resistance: Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer, making …
