Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid While Choosing a Solar Mounting Partner

Your solar project is only as strong as the structure supporting it. Choosing the wrong mounting partner can lead to delays, failures, and long-term financial losses. Here’s how to avoid common mistakes.

1. Are you verifying the engineering certifications of the structure?

Many suppliers skip proper design validation — which leads to structural failures.
Always ensure the mounting structures are engineered and certified for wind load, panel weight, and regional conditions.

Why it matters:

• Non-certified structures may collapse in high winds
• You risk project approval delays
• Proper engineering = long-term performance and safety

Rudran Infra Metals structures are designed as per IS 875 and IEC standards with full load simulations.

2. Are you choosing based on price over material quality?

Opting for the cheapest quote often means sacrificing steel grade and thickness.
Low-quality steel bends, rusts, and deteriorates quickly under stress.

Avoid suppliers who:

• Use unverified or recycled steel
• Offer vague specifications (e.g., “1.5mm +/-”)
• Can’t prove zinc coating or tensile strength

Rudran uses IS-certified galvanized coils with consistent quality control at every stage.

3. Is the galvanization process durable enough for your site conditions?

Not all galvanization is the same — pre-galvanized steel corrodes faster in high-moisture or coastal areas.
Always prefer hot-dip galvanization for long-term durability.

Common issues with poor galvanizing:

• Rust at cut edges
• Surface flaking within 2–3 years
• Frequent maintenance and repainting

At Rudran, all structures are hot-dip galvanized for superior protection — even in coastal or industrial zones.

4. Does the supplier offer technical guidance and customization?

Standard structures don’t work for every terrain or module type.
If your supplier doesn’t offer engineering input, you risk misfit components and longer installation time.

What to expect from a good partner:

• Custom design based on layout and soil reports
• Load calculations for exact location
• Flexibility in tilt, leg height, and foundation anchoring

Rudran provides structural drawings, wind zone adaptations, and site-specific recommendations.

5. Are you getting reliable dispatch timelines and service support?

A delayed structure can stall the entire solar project.
Missed timelines and poor communication are major red flags.

Ask these before choosing:

• What is the production lead time?
• Do they have in-house fabrication or outsource it?
• Is there post-sale support for contractors?

Rudran ensures fast turnaround with its in-house manufacturing unit and dedicated project coordination.

Conclusion:

Don’t let simple mistakes affect your solar project’s success. A strong, certified, and well-supported mounting structure is non-negotiable. Choose Rudran Infra Metals — where quality meets commitment.
