When selecting solar mounting materials, understanding the yield strength difference between steel and aluminum becomes crucial for structural integrity and long-term performance. Steel typically offers yield strength between 250-1000 MPa, while aluminum alloys range from 100-455 MPa, making steel the superior choice for high-stress applications. However, this mechanical advantage comes with important trade-offs in weight and corrosion resistance.
For European installations, where varied climate conditions demand careful material selection, the…
