Solar & Renewable
Energy
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum solar panel frame profiles and wind turbine components — manufactured to ISO 9001:2015 and available in custom cross-sections for utility, commercial, and residential solar installations worldwide.
the Solar Transition
Aluminum is the material of choice for solar mounting systems — its light weight reduces structural load on rooftops and ground-mount foundations, while its natural corrosion resistance ensures a service life that matches or exceeds the 25-year warranties typical of PV modules.
CANEX manufactures solar panel frame profiles, mounting rails, racking system extrusions, and wind turbine structural components in standard and custom cross-sections. Our ISO 9001:2015 quality system and comprehensive documentation package support the procurement and bankability requirements of solar developers, EPCs, and panel manufacturers globally.
With in-house die design and fast custom die turnaround, CANEX can develop proprietary frame cross-sections for panel OEMs requiring differentiated designs.

Energy Questions
Does CANEX manufacture aluminum solar panel frame profiles?
Yes. CANEX manufactures aluminum solar panel frame profiles in standard and custom cross-sections for utility-scale, commercial, and residential PV installations. Profiles are available in mill finish, anodized, and powder-coated finishes, with custom CCD up to 350 mm.
What alloy does CANEX use for solar frame profiles?
CANEX primarily uses 6063-T5 and 6063-T6 for solar frame profiles — the industry standard for PV frames due to excellent corrosion resistance, surface quality, and extrudability. 6061-T6 is available for structural mounting rail and racking applications requiring higher mechanical strength.
What is the difference between mill finish and powder coat for solar profiles?
Mill finish aluminum has a natural oxide layer providing basic corrosion resistance suitable for most solar environments. Powder coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and UV stability for coastal, high-humidity, and premium residential installations. CANEX offers both, with QUALICOAT-certified powder coating available.
Can CANEX supply custom solar frame cross-sections?
Yes. CANEX offers in-house die design and manufacture for custom solar frame cross-sections. Submit your CAD or DXF file and our engineers will review for extrudability, manufacture the die, and deliver first article samples within 4–6 weeks of die approval.
Does CANEX hold ISO 9001:2015 certification for solar procurement?
Yes. CANEX is ISO 9001:2015 certified and provides full material test certificates, dimensional inspection reports, and ISO quality documentation with every shipment — meeting solar project procurement and bankability requirements in Europe, MENA, and North America.
Can CANEX deliver aluminum solar profiles DDP to project sites?
Yes. CANEX offers Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping to project sites in Europe, North America, the Gulf, and across MENA. We manage all freight, insurance, and customs documentation — simplifying procurement for EPC contractors and solar developers worldwide.
