Solar Mounting Structure Steel in Bangladesh

Solar mounting sections need a zinc coat matched to the site and the design life of the plant. Coastal and heavy industry sites in Bangladesh wear zinc faster, so they call for a thicker coat. GBTL offers hot dip galvanizing on request. Solar buyers typically specify hot dip galvanizing to ISO 1461, with a zinc coat of about 85 microns. Ask for our coating data.

A 1 MW rooftop solar structure typically needs about 40 to 60 tonnes of steel. A 1 MW ground mount structure typically needs about 45 to 70 tonnes. These are typical ranges only, and the real figure depends on structure design, wind load and module layout.

GBTL makes SHS 40x40, 50x50, 60x60 and 75x75 mm, and RHS 50x100 and 60x120 mm, as standard solar sections. The standard purlins are C purlin 100x50x20 mm, C purlin 120x50x20 mm and Z purlin 150x65x20 mm. Round posts of 76.1 and 88.9 mm OD and 41x41 mm strut channel complete the standard range. The 114.3 mm OD torque tube blank and hot dip galvanizing are available on request.

The minimum order for GBTL standard solar sections is 2 MT. A custom solar section needs a full coil run, so GBTL sets a 20 MT minimum for it. Quantities are quoted in metric tonnes and delivered to your district.

For rooftop solar, GBTL supplies 41x41 mm strut channel for rails and bracing, plus SHS and RHS for rafters and frames. Ground mount structures add 76.1 or 88.9 mm OD round posts as ground posts and piles. C purlins 100x50x20 or 120x50x20 mm, or the Z purlin 150x65x20 mm, carry the modules on either type.
