Light technology from Sapa Aluminium Profiles

Aluminium is three times lighter than steel. It is strong, resistant to corrosion and can be recycled many times without any loss of metal. These are only some of the properties that make aluminium profiles the preferred alternative to heavy steel structures in the design of mounting systems for solar energy systems – from photovoltaics (PV) and thermal collector systems to new concentrated solar power (CSP) plants.

Sapa is the world’s leading provider of extruded aluminium profiles and has a dedicated business that provides solutions to the fast-growing solar industry. This dedication and the resulting experience and expertise are reflected in Sapa having the world’s largest number of aluminium structures for solar applications.

The global solar industry is expanding rapidly. As solar energy projects are
growing in scale, so does the quantity of material required for their mounting systems. Sapa is one of only a few suppliers capable of providing today’s increasing volumes of aluminium profiles and structures in sufficient quantity and quality.
