Solar panel rack prices and popular types of mounting frames

Install solar power system

Installing a solar power system depends not only on the quality of the panels or inverters, but also on the support frame - the "foundation" that helps the entire system operate stably and durably. In this article, Ego Solar will help you understand the price of solar power systems, the factors that affect costs, and the popular types of galvanized iron frames that are trusted by households and businesses. From there, you can choose a suitable solar power installation solution, saving costs while still ensuring safety and aesthetics for the roof.

Introduction to solar energy installation costs

The role of the frame in the solar power system

When installing solar power systems, many people only pay attention to the panels and inverters, forgetting that the support frame is an equally important part. The frame is responsible for fixing the panels, creating an optimal tilt angle to absorb sunlight most effectively and ensuring safety and durability throughout 25 years of operation. A system with a poor quality support frame is prone to problems such as: shaking, electric leakage, or rapid corrosion - directly affecting the efficiency and lifespan of the solar power system.

Why does the cost of the bracket affect the overall installation price?

In the cost of solar installation, the frame part accounts for about 10-15% of the total investment, but determines the durability and safety of the entire project. With corrugated iron roofs, concrete roofs, or tile roofs, each type requires a separate frame design, ensuring grip, wind resistance and appropriate load.

With practical experience in hundreds of projects, Ego Solar uses industrial standard galvanized iron frames, capable of:

• Good wind and storm resistance.

• No warping or rusting in sunny or rainy weather.

• Average life expectancy over 20 years.

• Easy to maintain, installation cost is more reasonable compared to other materials.

This is the most suitable solution for Vietnam's climate, especially the Southern and Central regions with year-round humidity and harsh sunlight.

Factors that make up the cost of installing solar power

A complete solar power installation quote usually includes:

• Solar panels (45–50% of the cost).

• Grid-tie inverter (15–20%).

• Galvanized iron truss and construction materials (10–15%).

• Wiring system, electrical cabinet, lightning protection (10%).

• Installation, inspection and warranty labor (10%).

Thus, the iron truss is a factor that both ensures construction quality and helps optimize the overall investment cost for customers.

What type of iron frame should be chosen to install solar energy for households?household solar panels

When installing solar power for households, many people often pay attention to the solar panels or inverters, but pay little attention to the support frame - while this is the main load-bearing part of the entire system. A quality galvanized iron frame not only helps to firmly fix the solar panels, but also directly affects the performance, aesthetics and life of the roof. Choosing the right type of frame will help the system operate stably, absorb energy better and reduce maintenance costs in the long run.
Below are the popular types of racks that Ego Solar is deploying for different types of roofs:

Low-roof iron truss – The most economical and effective solution

This is the most commonly used type of truss in households, especially townhouses, level 4 houses or houses with pre-sloped corrugated iron roofs.

• Structure: Galvanized iron frame is clamped directly onto corrugated iron with bolts and specialized accessories, ensuring firm adhesion without puncturing the roof or causing leaks.

• Advantage:

  • Fast construction, low cost.

  • Keep the roof structure intact, light weight, suitable for residential houses.

  • Take advantage of the existing roof slope to optimize performance.

  Suitable for: Households with small roof area (10–40 m²), solar power system from 3–5 kWp.

Triangular truss on concrete roof – Optimizing performance and aesthetics

For modern townhouses, villas, offices or houses with flat roofs, the triangular truss is designed to create an ideal tilt angle (10-15 degrees) to help the solar panel absorb maximum light throughout the day.

• Structure: Hot-dip galvanized square iron frame, with triangular base and sturdy connecting braces.

• Advantage:

  • Optimized power output by adjusting tilt direction.

  • Low, compact truss ensures aesthetics for the roof.

  • Can be flexibly arranged, taking advantage of flat concrete roof as an "energy yard".

  Suitable for: Flat-roofed houses, villas or office buildings, with 5–10 kWp capacity systems.

Ego Solar galvanized iron frame quality – The difference from small details

All scaffolding products provided by Ego Solar are processed in the factory according to technical standards, fully hot-dip galvanized to prevent rust, and load tested before construction.

Production process ensures:

• The thickness of the square iron ensures that it can withstand wind load level 12.

• Seamless weld, no porosity, ensuring bond strength.

• Additional protective coating for environmental exposure areas.

• Use industry standard rust-proof screws and bolts.

Thanks to that, the Ego Solar system is durable, safe and has a lifespan of more than 20 years, suitable for all climate conditions in Vietnam - from the hot sun in the South to the humid rain in the North.

Tips for choosing galvanized iron scaffolding for households

• Prefer hot-dip galvanized trusses over electroplated ones, to ensure long-term durability and rust resistance.

• Check carefully that the frame structure and support legs are firmly fixed and do not cause roof leakage.

• Choose a reputable contractor like Ego Solar – a place with practical experience, standard installation process and clear warranty policy.
