What are solar racking systems?

Solar racking systems are the structural frameworks used to mount solar panels on rooftops, ground surfaces, or other structures. These systems securely hold the solar panels in place, ensuring they are optimally angled to capture sunlight and withstand environmental elements like wind and snow. Solar racking is essential for both residential and commercial solar installations, as it affects the efficiency, durability, and safety of the solar power system. The racking may be made of materials such as aluminum or steel and comes in various designs to suit different mounting needs.
