When procuring solar mounting systems, many international buyers focus on price and delivery time, while overlooking critical technical and compliance factors. Below are the five most common pitfalls—and how to avoid them.
1️⃣ Focusing on Price Instead of Standards & Certifications
Some suppliers offer low prices but fail to meet required standards such as CE, EN, AS/NZS, UL, or ISO.
Risk: Project approval delays, failed inspections, or non-compliance with insurance requirements.
Best Practice: Work with manufacturers that design and test mounting systems according to international standards and support third-party inspections (e.g., SGS).

2️⃣ Ignoring Local Wind, Snow, and Soil Conditions
Using “one-size-fits-all” designs without proper load calculations can be risky, especially in regions with high wind or snow loads.
Risk: Structural deformation, component damage, or long-term safety issues.
Best Practice: Choose a supplier capable of providing project-specific structural calculations and customized designs.
---
3️⃣ Unclear Material Specifications
Solar mounting systems may look similar, but material quality varies significantly—
from aluminum alloy grades to steel thickness and galvanization levels.
Risk: Corrosion, reduced lifespan, and higher maintenance costs.
Best Practice: Ensure full transparency on material specifications (e.g., AL6005-T5 aluminum, Q235/Q355 steel, zinc coating ≥80–120 μm).
---
4️⃣ Underestimating Installation Complexity
Low-cost systems often require extensive on-site cutting, drilling, or adjustment.
Risk: Increased labor costs, longer installation time, and installer dissatisfaction.
Best Practice: Select mounting systems with high pre-assembly levels and modular design to improve installation efficiency.

5️⃣ Choosing a Product Supplier Instead of a Solution Partner
Some suppliers only deliver hardware, offering limited technical support after shipment.
Risk: Installation issues, delays, and unresolved technical problems.
Best Practice: Partner with a manufacturer that provides design support, engineering coordination, installation guidance, and after-sales service.
