Kalash EnergyWhat is a Solar Mounting Structure?
The mounting structure holds your solar panels securely on the roof for 25+ years.
Non-Welded vs Welded
| Feature | Non-Welded ✅ | Welded ❌ |
|---|---|---|
| Corrosion resistance | High — zinc coating intact | Low — welding burns zinc |
| Lifespan | 25+ years | 5–10 years (rust risk) |
| Strength | Engineered, load-tested | Depends on welder skill |
⚠️ Why welded fails: Welding burns zinc galvanization at joints. Exposed metal rusts within 2–4 monsoon seasons — structure silently weakens.
Kalash Energy Standard
- Legs: GI 160×50 mm, 2mm gauge — heavy-duty load-bearing
- Rafters & Purlins: GI 80×41 mm, 2mm gauge — engineered load distribution
- Finish: Hot-dip galvanized — 25+ years rust-proof
Budget vs Premium
| Type | Specs | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| GI Non-Welded (Recommended) | 160×50 legs, 80×41 rafters, 2mm gauge | Best budget — excellent durability |
| HDGI (Heavy-Duty) | Same design, thicker zinc coating | No-budget / harsh environments |
What to Avoid in Market
- ❌ Welded box pipe structure — rusts in 4–6 years
- ❌ 41×41 mm undersized non-welded structure
- ❌ Thin 1.2mm–1.6mm gauge
✅ Kalash Energy Assurance: 2mm gauge GI non-welded, full documentation. Verify on-site during installation — we welcome it.
