Solar thermal collector frames

Mounted on slanting rooftops, solar thermal collector frames are an important design feature with stringent demands of surface quality.

Sapa provides frames for solar thermal collectors, i.e. devices that use solar energy to heat up fluids in pipes. The purpose of the frame is to hold the structure together and to carry the devices that attach the module to a mounting system.

Smooth finish

Thermal collectors are becoming more and more common on rooftops around the world. To gain full acceptance in the long term, these modules must blend in nicely with the rest of the building. Thanks to their consistently high surface finish, Sapa extrusions add to the aesthetic appearance of rooftop-mounted thermal collectors.

Durable design

Solar thermal collectors must carry heated fluid and its associated piping, adding significantly to the weight of these structures. Sapa frames are robust and durable enough to withstand heavy weight, while adding minimum extra load to roofs.
