Engineered for performance. Designed for simplicity. Built to save.

 

By replacing heavy steel cross sections with high-strength, lightweight wire rope bracing, our Solar Bracing Kit helps you dramatically reduce material, transport, and logistics costs while cutting embodied CO₂.

Developed by our engineers, this innovative kit delivers structural performance that rivals traditional steel bracing, but with a fraction of the material. That means less weight, lower emissions, and easier handling, without compromising on strength or durability. It’s a smarter way to build, and it’s already helping PV frame OEMs around the world stand out and stay competitive.

Installation is quick and straightforward, using only hand tools, thanks to our pre-engineered Dynamic tensioner. Our kits are supplied in compact, easy-to-handle boxes, no more struggling with awkward lengths of steel or needing powered machinery to lift them into place.
