Although solar brackets account for only a small part of your total PV system cost, choosing the right one is make-or-break for 25+years of reliable performance.

At Jinda Solar, we design both C-type and U-type brackets to solve your biggest pain points, whether you’re building a rooftop residential system or a large-scale ground farm. Let’s break down the differences and how our engineering makes each solution stand out:


1. Design & Appearance

  • U-Type Brackets: A clean "U" cross-section with no curled edges, featuring pre-punched holes for quick, on-site adjustability.

    Jinda Advantage: We precision-punch every hole to ensure perfect alignment, so installers can adapt to any roof layout without extra cutting.


  • C-Type Brackets: Curled-edge design, roll-formed from high-grade steel for unmatched structural integrity.

    Jinda Advantage: Our automated production lines ensure consistent, burr-free edges, eliminating weak points that cause rust or failure over time.

2. Performance & Durability

  • U-Type Brackets: Built for long-term support with high pressure resistance and anti-deformation properties.

    Jinda Advantage: Made with hot-dip galvanized steel, our U-brackets pass 600+hours of salt spray testing, make them ideal for coastal areas like the Philippines. They stay rust-free even in high-humidity, typhoon-prone environments.


  • C-Type Brackets: Engineered for superior shear, anti-slip, and impact resistance.

    Jinda Advantage: Our C-type brackets use high-strength Al-Mg-Zn coated steel, combining thin-wall light weight with extreme structural strength. They easily withstand heavy wind/snow loads and harsh environmental erosion, perfect for utility-scale ground farms and mountain installations.



3. Installation & Connection

  • U-Type Brackets: Fastened through the web with pre-processed holes, allowing flexible, on-site adjustment of fixed points.

    Jinda Advantage: Our modular design cuts installation time by 30% compared to generic brackets, reducing your labor costs and getting your project online faster.


  • C-Type Brackets: Connected via flanges and web bolts, with customized hole positions for rock-solid connections.

    Jinda Advantage: Every C-type bracket is pre-engineered for maximum stability, with custom hole layouts tailored to your project specs. No guesswork, no on-site modifications, just fast, secure assembly.
