Thornova Solar, a global PV module manufacturer, announced a cooperation agreement with Nextpower to integrate US-manufactured steel frames into its domestically produced solar modules. The steel frames are designed for compatibility with both tracker and fixed-tilt mounting systems. According to the companies, the frames reduce module deflection, lower glass breakage risk, and improve uplift resistance in high-wind regions. Steel frames can increase allowable panel loading by up to 125% in tracker applications while reducing mounting hardware requirements. In some projects, the design enables the use of 400 mm mounting rails across up to 100% of installations. Thornova plans to deploy the frames across selected utility-scale and commercial and industrial (C&I) module series as it expands U.S. manufacturing capacity.
