Taiwan Nano developed plastic solar photovoltaic stent new materials

In the overall cost structure of a solar power system, the solar photovoltaic rack typically accounts for around 10% of the total expenses. Traditionally, these structures have been made from heavy metals such as hot-dipped galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys. However, with the increasing demand for more efficient and sustainable solutions, there is a growing need to explore alternative materials. Solar panels are usually installed outdoors, exposing the supporting structures to harsh environmental conditions like UV radiation, rain, corrosion, and even salt damage in coastal areas. Additionally, each solar module weighs between 16 to 30 kilograms, and when multiple units are assembled, the overall load becomes significant. As a result, future stents must be both durable and lightweight to meet the evolving demands of the industry. In response to this challenge, Europe and the United States have started developing solar stents made from advanced plastic materials. These new designs have gradually replaced some metal brackets in real-world installations due to their improved performance and cost efficiency. In Taiwan, the Nano Carbon Tube Corporation, located at the Zhunan Base of the Hsinchu Science Park, has also made significant progress in this area. The company's Composites Division has developed a unique technology that incorporates carbon nanotubes into plastic materials, significantly enhancing their strength and resistance to corrosion. This innovation has led to the creation of high-performance plastic solar brackets that are not only strong but also lightweight and weather-resistant. According to Lin, the director of the Composite Materials Division, the plastic solar stent developed by the company matches the strength of aluminum alloy while weighing approximately one-third less. It also offers excellent resistance to weathering and corrosion without requiring additional protective coatings. Moreover, its light weight and flexibility make it easier to integrate with building designs, reducing the structural load on the installation site. Cai Qunxian, an executive from the carbon nanotube company, stated that this innovative plastic solar stent has already been adopted by leading solar manufacturers worldwide. The product is expected to generate sales of around 10 billion Taiwanese dollars within two years, with projections reaching 100 billion in the market over the next five years. This development marks a significant shift in the solar industry, paving the way for more sustainable and cost-effective solutions.

Wire Mesh Wound Polyethylene Pipe

Cross helically wound steel wires reinforced-polyethylene composite pipe (SRCP) is a kind of composite metal plastic pipe with excellent overall performance. With excellent pressure bearing performance, good flexibility, long-term resistance to acid and alkaline corrosion and abrasion, it is suitable for long-distance underground pipes for water supply and drainage, slurry transportation and the like, especially for subsidence region such as mining area, river channel.
