Designed for aluminum profiles, steel purlins and solar tracker structures.
Typical Solar Industry Applications
- 12.7mm Carbon Steel Boom Lock is Used in Solar Tracking System
- 6.4mm Hem Firm is Used in Solar Tracking System
- 10.0mm Carbon Steel Boom Lock is Used in Flexible Mounting System
- Carbon Steel Strucural Rivets Mono-Lock is Used in Fixed Mounting System
- A4 Stainless Steel Rivets Mono-Lock Is Used Offshore Solar PV Platform
Why Solar Manufacturers Choose Blind Rivets?
Single-Side Installation — Perfectly Adapted to On-Site Construction Conditions
Solar projects frequently encounter the following scenarios:
- C-shaped steel / Z-shaped steel purlins
- Closed-profile aluminum extrusions
- Structural components already installed, inaccessible from the rear
Blind rivets enable single-side connection without requiring rear-side nuts:
- Ideal for rooftop PV and ground-mounted solar field installations
- Reduces challenges in high-altitude and confined-space operations
- Significantly lowers construction risks
Higher installation efficiency —— ideal for large-scale PV projects
In large-scale solar projects, connection points often number in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
Compared to bolts, blind rivets offer distinct advantages:
- No thread alignment required
- No torque control needed
- Installation completed in a single operation
This translates to:
- Higher installation volume per worker per hour
- More predictable overall project timelines
- Significantly reduced labor costs
For project owners seeking delivery efficiency, this represents a tangible cost advantage.
Improved connection consistency —— reducing human error
Bolted connections heavily depend on:
- Installer experience
- Proper torque application
- Correct anti-loosening measures
In contrast, the clamping force of blind rivets is primarily determined by the product structure itself:
- Consistent forming process for each rivet
- Stable, repeatable installation results
- Better suited for standardized project management
For solar manufacturers, this translates to lower risk of quality fluctuations.
Lower maintenance costs —— better suited for long-term operational projects
Once a solar system is grid-connected and operational:
- On-site maintenance costs are extremely high
- Failure of fasteners carries significant consequences
Blind rivets offer the following characteristics:
- No risk of thread loosening
- No need for periodic retightening
- Stable connection integrity
This precisely aligns with the solar industry’s core requirement of “install once, operate for the long term”.
Why Use The Blindbolt/Rivet Instead of Bolt in The Trackers?
Bolt:
- Bi-directional fastening requiring repeated wrench operation – low installation effciency.
- Requires scheduled periodic inspection for loosening within the service cycle.
- During maintenance or replacement, wrench access is restricted by installation position – dismantling is cumbersome.
Rivet:
- Single-sided fastening with quick installation – improves work efficiency by 20%+.
- Designed for solar industry service life – no failure for 15 years.
- Compatible with professional removal tools – easy maintenance and replacement.
