stand-alone PV array aluminium frame supplier ?

[Cymerau]

We, like many suppliers, are up against it timewise to install a field-based 16 panel pv array. The main problem is to find Uk stocks of the aluminium extrusions designed to build a panel support framework
Our original German supplier needs 2 months which rules it out.
Any suggestions ?

You could failing all else, for just 16 panels, erect a temporary timber staging to keep them tied down and connect it up to commission. Then sort out the frame later. Or get some steel channel and ally channel and make your own triangles mounted on two rails. Single row in portrait. Structural engineer would confirm specs for you.

Or try Mage Sunfixings, they just had a cancellation off us. They are very good and will get a answer to you.

Thanks for your thoughts. We will now erect a temporary wooden groundmount, which will get us out of trouble until the real kit arrives from Germany.
On another subject any thoughts on where there might be stocks of black PV panels ? Kyocera KD 240 was the original spec, but cannot find srocks.

Thanks for the referral. In the interim we decided to go for a temporary fix in wood so time has become less of an issue.
