Product Description
Solar panel pole mounts are structural supports designed to secure solar arrays to the ground, rooftops, or freestanding poles. They are typically manufactured from steel or aluminum and coated with hot-dipped galvanized or Zinc Aluminum Magnesium alloys for enhanced durability.
1.Material Selection: Steel (e.g., Q235 or Q345) or aluminum alloys are chosen for strength and weight efficiency.
2.Surface Preparation: The metal is cleaned, degreased, and pickled to remove impurities for optimal coating adhesion.
3.Coating Process:
3.1 Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG):
Steel is immersed in molten zinc (≈450°C) to form a metallurgical bond, creating a thick, corrosion-resistant layer.
3.2 Zn-Al-Mg Coating:
A thin, alloy layer (Zn-Al-Mg) is applied via electroplating or thermal spraying for lightweight, long-lasting protection.
4.Forming: The coated metal is shaped into pole mounts (e.g., U-shapes, clamps, or bases) using CNC machining, welding, or bending.
5.Quality Testing: Coatings are inspected for thickness, adhesion, and corrosion resistance (e.g., salt spray testing).
6.Packaging: Finished mounts are packaged to prevent scratching during transport.

FAQ
1. What's the difference between hot-dipped galvanized (HDG) and ZnAlMg-coated pole mounts?
• Galvanized:
• Thick zinc layer (7-12 μm) for heavy-duty protection.
• Best for high-corrosion environments (e.g., coastal areas).
• Higher weight than ZnAlMg.
• ZnAlMg-Coated:
• Lightweight (3-5 μm layer), with superior resistance to UV, salt, and humidity.
• Longer lifespan (30+ years) and lower maintenance.
• More cost-effective for large-scale projects.
2. Are these pole mounts suitable for extreme weather conditions?
• Yes: Both coatings excel in harsh environments:
• Galvanized: Resists rust, acid rain, and industrial pollution.
• ZnAlMg: Combine corrosion resistance with flexibility to stand freeze through cycles and UV degradation
• Ideal for: Beaches, deserts, high-humidity regions, and areas with frequent temperature fluctuations.
3. Can I install HDG/ZnAlMg pole mounts in acidic soil?
• Galvanized: May degrade in highly acidic soil (pH < 5) due to zinc oxidation.
• ZnAlMg: More resistant to acidic conditions but still requires proper foundation design (e.g., concrete base to isolate the metal from soil).
• Recommendation: Use ZnAlMg-coated mounts or add a protective coating (e.g., epoxy) for long-term stability.
4. How long do HDG/ZnAlMg pole mounts last compared to untreated steel?
• Untreated Steel: Corrodes within 5-10 years in most environments.
• Galvanized: Lasts 25-30 years in moderate climates; 15-20 years in severe conditions.
• ZnAlMg: Survives 30+ years even in aggressive environments (e.g., marine, industrial zones).
• Solar panel lifespan: Matches warranties (25-30 years), ensuring full system reliability.
5. Do I need to paint or maintain HDG/ZnAlMg pole mounts?
• Galvanized: Requires minimal maintenance (clean dust/f debris). Repainting is only needed if damaged.
• ZnAlMg: No painting required; clean with water periodically. Avoid contact with chlorine or strong acids.
• Both:Inspect annually for loose bolt fasteners or physical damage
