Metal Trade Show | Photovoltaic Aluminum Profiles: The Metallic Pillars of Green Energy

In recent years, with the acceleration of domestic infrastructure construction and the rapid development of sectors such as automotive, rail transportation, and consumer electronics, the market demand for industrial aluminum profiles has remained robust. In particular, driven by the photovoltaic (PV) industry, the consumption of aluminum profiles has shown rapid growth. At Metal Trade Show, photovoltaic aluminum profiles have garnered widespread attention.

Within the photovoltaic industry chain, the demand for aluminum primarily focuses on photovoltaic frames for solar modules and photovoltaic brackets for distributed PV power stations. Photovoltaic frames are used to fix and seal solar cell components, while photovoltaic brackets are used to place, install, and secure solar panels. Aluminum frames are an important auxiliary material in photovoltaic modules, accounting for a significant proportion of costs. As the photovoltaic industry continues to develop, the demand for these frames is steadily increasing.

Currently, the photovoltaic industry faces two major development goals: "cost reduction" and "efficiency enhancement." To achieve these objectives, module manufacturers have implemented various strategies, such as reducing glass thickness, decreasing wafer thickness, and increasing module size. These changes place higher requirements on the strength of aluminum alloy frames. Therefore, the research and production of high-quality photovoltaic aluminum profile products have become particularly crucial.

With the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, many companies are actively building a "photovoltaic power generation-electrolytic aluminum-aluminum processing" industry chain, continuously exploring new directions within the aluminum industry. In the future, more enterprises will join this trend, accelerating the development of the photovoltaic industry and gradually forming a complete layout from solar frames and accessories to end products, creating new growth opportunities.
