Rooftop Solar Aluminium Mounting Rail (6005A-T5)

Technical Data & Specification Review

Published parameters are reference configurations for this series. Final values are subject to approved drawings, manufacturer technical documents, samples and project inspection records.

Dimensional and performance figures are taken from the manufacturing partner’s own product catalogue. Mill certificates, spectrometer analysis reports and coating thickness records are issued with each shipment.

What we can change for your project – and what we cannot

Material and Grade

Extrusion grades are 6063-T5, 6005-T5 and 6061-T6. The choice is a structural decision, not a marketing one: 6063-T5 gives the best anodised surface and covers most sections, 6005-T5 buys mechanical capacity where a slender section still has to carry load, and 6061-T6 handles the heaviest duty. Each heat is spectrometer-checked and the result is traceable to the delivered lot.

Surface Finish

Finish is specified from the full in-house range: anodising, powder coating, fluorocarbon (PVDF) coating, electrophoretic lacquer, wood-grain heat transfer and decorative finishes. Pre-treatment is chromium-free chemistry, electrostatic powder is first-tier, and colour is signed off against a physical sample before the production run starts.

Custom Tooling

Tooling is made in-house, which is what makes bespoke sections practical rather than theoretical. Flow behaviour is checked by simulation before steel is cut, the die is then machined and hardened in a vacuum nitriding furnace, and a first sample length is produced for approval before the run starts. Customer drawings and physical samples are both accepted as the starting point.

Made-to-Order Sizing

Everything that can reasonably be varied is varied to order – cut length, wall thickness within the section’s design envelope, finish colour and bundle size. A length schedule supplied with the order is cut to as issued, so material arrives ready to fabricate.

Factory and Export Capability

The approved partner manufacturer holds its own import-export licence for aluminium and aluminium products, so shipments are made direct from the factory rather than through an agent. Design capacity at the partner manufacturing base is 50,000 tonnes a year, over 100,000 tonnes across the group including multiple partner manufacturing bases. Export packing is moisture-barrier wrapping, protective film, foam interleaving and timber crating; FOB, CIF and DDP terms are all quoted and container loading is supervised in-house.

Extrude, Then Finish

The confirmed alloy and temper go through the press, then through whichever finish was agreed – anodising, powder, PVDF, electrophoresis or wood-grain transfer – matched to the approved colour panel.

Packed for the Voyage

Protective film, moisture-barrier wrap, foam between profiles and timber crates, loaded into the container under our own supervision, on FOB, CIF or DDP terms.
