The main function of the water drain clip used for the solar panel frame is to help guide and manage the discharge of rainwater or condensation water, prevent water from being retained on the surface of the solar panel or in the structure around it, thereby protecting the equipment and optimizing the operating efficiency of the system.
Solar water drain clamp can be divided into plastic, stainless steel, copper and aluminum alloy according to the material.
Common plastic water drain clip have light weight, low cost and corrosion resistance, but poor high temperature resistance, suitable for solar energy systems with relatively low temperatures;
Stainless steel Solar water drain clamp have strong corrosion resistance, can resist acid and alkali environments, and have good high temperature resistance, suitable for solar energy systems with high temperatures and long service life;
Copper has excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, so it is suitable for high-efficiency solar energy systems, especially in the case of large temperature differences, copper materials help to better conduct heat. But the cost is high, suitable for projects with higher requirements;
Aluminum alloy is light in weight, good in corrosion resistance, and has certain strength and durability. It is often used in solar energy equipment that needs to reduce the weight of the system.
Solar water drain clamp made of different materials are suitable for different use scenarios. When choosing, factors such as temperature, environmental conditions, and service life should be considered.
Solar water drain clamp can guide rainwater or condensed water to drain along the frame of the solar panel, prevent water from being retained on the panel, and prevent long-term accumulation of moisture from causing surface contamination or corrosion of the panel, affecting the efficiency of photovoltaic modules.
Through a properly designed water guide, it can effectively prevent rainwater or condensed water from penetrating into the frame from the edge of the panel, protect the electrical components and internal structure of the solar panel, and reduce the risk of short circuit or aging.
In short, the water drain clip installed on the frame of the solar panel can effectively manage water flow, protect the solar panel and its mounting system from damage by rainwater or condensed water, and improve the durability and power generation performance of the equipment.
