End Clamp for Solar Panel Systems
End clamps are essential components designed to securely fix solar panels to mounting rails. Various types are available, including fixed-end clamps, adjustable end clamps, and clamps with integrated grounding for electrical safety.
Spare Parts for an Ordinary End Clamp Set
- 1 AL 6005 end clamp body: Durable and corrosion-resistant main body.
- 1 SS bolt and 1 SS flange nut: Fasteners to secure the clamp to rails and panel frames.
- 2 pcs SS spring washers: Rubber washers protect the panel while providing a firm grip.
Production Procedure
- Material Selection: High-quality aluminum or stainless steel for strength, durability, and environmental resistance.
- Cutting and Shaping: Precision tools shape the material into required forms.
- Surface Treatment: Anodization or coating enhances corrosion resistance.
Installation Instructions
- Positioning: Place clamps at panel frame edges aligned with mounting rails.
- Attaching Bolts: Insert bolts through clamp and rail holes, then fasten with nuts.
- Applying Rubber Washers: Align rubber pads inside clamp body to prevent panel damage.
- Tightening: Use a torque wrench to secure bolts to manufacturer specifications.
- Repeat: Apply to all panel edges.
Advantages of End Clamps
- Unwavering Stability: Keep panels securely fixed even in harsh weather.
- Vibration Protection: Absorb external vibrations, maintaining efficiency.
- Effortless Maintenance: Easy inspection and replacement.
- Flexibility: Adaptable to different panel sizes and mounting systems.

What Are the Most Common Sizes of End Clamps?
Common sizes range from 30 mm to 50 mm to fit different panel frame widths. Follow manufacturer standards for selection.
Can End Clamps Be Adjusted for Panel Tilt Angles?
Certain clamps offer adjustable features for tilt angle changes. Verify specifications before use.
Can End Clamps Be Fitted on Different Types of Mounting Rails?
Yes, compatible with standard, rail-less, and shared rail systems. Choose suitable clamps for your system.
How Long Do End Clamps Typically Last?
High-quality end clamps can last 20+ years with proper installation and maintenance.
How Do End Clamps Function in a Solar Panel System?
They secure panels at edges in conjunction with mid clamps, holding them firmly on mounting rails.
