Let's cut through the industry jargon first - photovoltaic brackets aren't just metal frames. They're the backbone of solar farms, responsible for maintaining optimal panel angles and surviving decades of environmental abuse. With the global solar tracker market projected to grow at 16.8% CAGR through 2030, manufacturers like Zeruitong Steel face both opportunities and challenge

Let's cut through the industry jargon first - photovoltaic brackets aren't just metal frames. They're the backbone of solar farms, responsible for maintaining optimal panel angles and surviving decades of environmental abuse. With the global solar tracker market projected to grow at 16.8% CAGR through 2030, manufacturers like Zeruitong Steel face both opportunities and challenges.
Here's where it gets interesting. Dryang Technology's recent project in Jining demonstrates how new composite materials reduce material costs by 18% while increasing corrosion resistance. Zeruitong's expertise in steel processing could position them well here, but... (we'll get to that "but" later).
Take Qiansteel's 160 million RMB expansion - they transformed from basic material suppliers to full-system providers within 2 years. Their secret? Vertical integration. By controlling everything from coil processing to bracket assembly, they achieved 40% faster production cycles.
Now, about Zeruitong Steel. Our industry radar shows:
| Strengths | Concerns |
|---|---|
| Established steel processing base | No track record in PV-specific designs |
| Geographic proximity to solar hubs | Lack of smart tracking system patents |
| Cost-effective material sourcing | Limited large-scale project references |
While giants like Trina Solar just patented anti-fracture mounting systems (CN 222531576 U), newer players must catch up. Consider this: a 1% improvement in bracket durability translates to $2.4 billion in saved maintenance costs industry-wide by 2030.
Remember the 2024 Zhejiang solar farm incident? Subpar brackets caused $12M in typhoon damage. Modern solutions like adjustable tilt mechanisms (similar to CSCEC's new patent CN 222531607 U) demonstrate where the industry's headed. Can Zeruitong's existing production lines adapt to these requirements?
As the market evolves toward dual-use solar structures (think agrivoltaics + carports), flexibility becomes paramount. Manufacturers must now engineer brackets that serve as both energy harvesters and functional infrastructure - a tall order for traditional steel fabricators.
