Solar Panel Aluminium Frame
A solar panel aluminium frame plays a critical role in the structure, durability, and performance of solar PV modules. These frames are not just supportive elements—they are essential for mounting, protecting, and maintaining the stability of solar panels in harsh environmental conditions. At Vaibhav Laxmi Industries (VLI), we specialize in manufacturing precision-engineered solar panel aluminium frames that meet the quality and sustainability standards required by solar EPCs, panel manufacturers, and installers across India.
We understand the importance of strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation when it comes to solar mounting solutions. That’s why our frames are designed using high-grade aluminium with excellent surface finishing, tailored to suit diverse module sizes and mounting applications.

Key Features of Solar Panel Aluminium Frame
Corrosion-Resistant Surface
Our aluminium frames come with anodized or powder-coated finishes that protect them from rust, chemical exposure, and salty coastal air—making them ideal for all weather conditions, including desert, marine, and tropical climates.
Lightweight but Strong
Aluminium provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, which means the frame adds minimal weight to the panel while maintaining excellent structural integrity during installation and operation.
Easy to Install and Assemble
Designed for quick installation, our frames are compatible with common fasteners and mounting systems. The precise cuts and standard hole placements help save labour time and reduce overall installation costs.
UV and Weather Protection
The material’s natural resistance to UV rays and fluctuating temperatures ensures a longer operational life and reduced wear, keeping solar panels securely in place for over 25 years.
Customizable Designs
We offer both standard and custom aluminium frame profiles suitable for framed and frameless modules, providing complete flexibility for solar OEMs and EPC contractors.
What is the Role of a Solar Panel Frame in Solar PV Installation?
Mechanical Support
A solar panel frame provides the necessary rigidity to the glass, EVA, and cell structure, preventing bending, twisting, or cracking under external loads such as snow, wind, or installation stress.
Mounting and Fixation
Frames act as a base for clamping and attaching the panels to roof mounts, ground mounts, or tracking systems. Their compatibility with standard clamps and rails ensures efficient and safe fixation.
Enhanced Panel Life
By protecting the edge of the glass and encapsulation layer, the aluminium frame acts as a shield against moisture ingress, dust, and other environmental contaminants, ensuring long-term reliability.
Electrical Grounding
Frames may also act as grounding paths in certain installations, helping to dissipate static and avoid electrical surges, which enhances safety in solar PV systems.
Different Aluminium Solar Panel Frame Designs
In India, a range of aluminium solar panel frame designs is available to suit various panel sizes and use-cases. Some of the most common ones include:
L-Type Frame
The most basic design with an L-shaped cross-section, used mainly for small or lightweight panels.
C-Type Frame
A more robust option, the C-frame offers additional strength and is commonly used in 60-cell and 72-cell panel configurations.
Box-Type Frame
Box-type designs are used for high-load applications and give maximum rigidity. They are suitable for high-wind or high-snow areas.
Custom Slot Frames
Some installations require slots for grounding or cable routing. VLI offers custom profiles with integrated grooves and fastening slots for specialized applications.
Types of Solar Panel Frame Material
While aluminium is the industry-standard material for solar frames, a few other materials are also used depending on budget and application:
Aluminium (6063 / 6061)
The most widely used material due to its corrosion resistance, lightweight nature, and ease of fabrication. Perfect for rooftop and utility-scale solar installations.
Stainless Steel
Used in specific applications where ultra-high strength is required. However, it is heavier and more expensive than aluminium.
Galvanised Steel
Provides good strength but lacks the corrosion resistance of aluminium. Requires coatings for extended durability.
Plastic / Polymer
Rarely used in structural frames due to low strength. Sometimes used in junction boxes or for cosmetic components.
At Vaibhav Laxmi Industries, we specialize in high-quality aluminium profiles only, as they deliver the best mix of affordability, longevity, and structural reliability.
