Solar structure machine unistrut c channel roll forming machine are production begins with coils of sheet metal (typically pre-galvanized steel or aluminum).The material is fed through a series of tandem rolling stations, where each set of precision rollers gradually bends and forms the metal into the final C-channel profile without removing any material. Key steps include:
-
Pre-punching: Slotted holes are precisely punched into the flat strip before forming, allowing for high-speed, accurate hole placement.
-
Progressive Forming: The strip passes through successive roll dies that cold-form it into the desired shape.
-
Cut-off: The continuously formed channel is cut to specified lengths.
This cold-forming process creates a strong, work-hardened product with excellent dimensional consistency and surface finish.
Solar structure machine capable of producing 41×21, 41×41, 41×52, 41×62, 41×72 and 41×82 profiles.

Specialized & Emerging Applications For Solar Mounting Structures
| Carport Canopies | Dual-purpose structures that provide shade for vehicles while generating electricity. They require robust channels to span large areas and support significant loads. |
| Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) | Systems where the mounting structure is an integral part of the building envelope, such as facades or skylights. |
| Agricultural Applications (AgriVoltaics) | Mounting structures are elevated to allow farming activities to continue underneath the panels. |
| Floating PV Systems | Specialized structures designed to support panels on bodies of water, such as reservoirs and lakes. They are highly corrosion-resistant. |
