4 FAQs about Steel frame of photovoltaic panels

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.

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.

Are origami solar frames commercial-ready?

Origami Solar's commercial-ready frames are available for module company evaluation and testing and meet or exceed the following test standards: Static Mechanical Load Testing per IEC 61215, required to validate essential frame strength. Salt Spray Corrosion Testing per IEC 61707, Method 6, required to validate essential corrosive durability.

What is a recycled steel frame?

Origami's steel frames made from recycled steel are designed to meet or exceed aluminum performance, comply with current frame dimensions, while providing a seamless transition into current module manufacturing and installation procedures.
