Double involution C-type steel photovoltaic mounting system
Double involution C-type steel photovoltaic mounting system is an advanced structural solution featuring C-section steel with rolled edges on both the upper and lower flanges — a design that provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard C-section profiles. Manufactured from high-strength Q355B steel with hot-dip galvanized coating (≥85μm), the double involution profile enhances bending resistance and torsional stability, enabling longer spans and reduced material consumption. The rolled edges also improve connection reliability by providing larger bearing surfaces at bolted joints. This system is engineered for large-scale ground-mounted PV plants where structural efficiency and cost optimization are critical. Compatible with module tilt angles from 10° to 50°, the system supports wind loads up to 55m/s and is designed for a 25-year service life in diverse environmental conditions.
Enhanced structural efficiency
Double rolled edges increase section modulus by 25-35% compared to standard C-sections, enabling longer spans with less steel.
Superior torsional stability
The involute edge design resists twisting under asymmetric loads, maintaining module alignment in high-wind conditions.
Hot-dip galvanized protection
85μm+ zinc coating provides 25-year corrosion protection with minimal maintenance requirements.
Optimized connection design
Rolled edges provide larger bearing surfaces at bolted joints, reducing stress concentrations and improving load transfer.
Material weight reduction
Achieves equivalent load capacity with 15-20% less steel compared to conventional C-section systems.
Rapid assembly system
Pre-punched holes and standardized connections enable fast installation with reduced labor requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
✦ What is the structural advantage of the double involution design?
The double involution (rolled edges on both flanges) increases the section's moment of inertia and radius of gyration, providing 25-35% greater bending resistance than standard C-sections of the same weight. This allows longer spans between supports, reducing the number of foundations and overall system cost.
✦ How does this system compare to standard C-section in terms of material usage?
The double involution profile achieves equivalent or greater load capacity with 15-20% less steel compared to standard C-section systems. This material efficiency translates to lower transportation costs, reduced foundation requirements, and overall project cost savings.
✦ Is the system compatible with both portrait and landscape module orientations?
Yes. The system supports both portrait and landscape configurations. The modular rail and clamp design allows for flexible module arrangement to optimize land use and electrical array design.
✦ What is the maximum span achievable with this system?
Maximum span depends on section size, load conditions, and site-specific wind/snow loads. For standard configurations using 100x50x20x3.0mm section with moderate loads, spans of 4.0-5.0m are achievable. For heavier loads or higher wind zones, reduce spacing or increase section size. Engineering load tables are provided for each project configuration.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Verify section orientation during installation; the double involution profile has a specific top and bottom orientation for optimal load distribution.
Use galvanized or stainless steel fasteners with appropriate torque values to prevent thread stripping and ensure connection integrity.
For long-span configurations, install temporary bracing during construction to maintain alignment until all connections are secured.
STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
Store steel components on level, elevated racks with adequate ventilation to prevent moisture accumulation and white rust formation.
Inspect galvanized coating for damage during transport and handling; apply zinc-rich touch-up paint to any exposed steel prior to installation.
Annual inspection of bolted connections and foundation integrity is recommended for long-term system performance.
