Solar Mounting Structure Manufacturer in India | Cold Roll Formed Sections for Rooftop & Ground Solar
India’s solar industry is growing rapidly, and every solar project depends on one critical component — the mounting structure. Solar panels may generate the power, but the structure is what supports the entire system for decades against wind loads, rain, heat, and environmental exposure.
Ajmera Metals is an ISO 9001:2015 & IATF 16949 certified solar mounting structure manufacturer in India, operating from our cold roll forming facility in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. We manufacture precision cold roll formed sections and structural components for rooftop, ground-mount, industrial, and utility-scale solar projects across India.
With over 15 years of manufacturing experience and a production capacity of 3,000 MT per month, we supply solar mounting sections to EPC contractors, solar developers, industrial projects, and infrastructure companies requiring reliable, dimensionally accurate, and corrosion-resistant structural systems.
What Are Solar Mounting Structures and Why Do They Matter?
A solar mounting structure — also called a module mounting structure (MMS) or solar racking system — is the engineered metal framework that supports and positions solar PV panels at the optimal tilt angle for maximum sunlight capture. It anchors the panels to the roof, ground, or other surface and holds them securely through every weather condition the installation site may experience.
Under India’s IS 875 (Part 3) wind load standard, solar mounting structures must be engineered to withstand site-specific wind speeds. A structure that’s under-designed for wind load is not just an equipment risk — it’s a safety risk. This is why the quality and precision of your solar mounting structure manufacturer in India matters enormously.
Types of Solar Mounting Structures We Manufacture
We manufacture cold roll formed structural sections and components for all major solar installation types. Here’s what we supply and for which applications:
Rooftop Solar Mounting Structures
Rooftop solar is the fastest-growing segment in India, driven by PM Surya Ghar and PM-KUSUM schemes as well as commercial and industrial rooftop adoption. Our rooftop solar mounting structure sections are manufactured for RCC flat roofs, metal sheet roofs, tin shed roofs, and industrial warehouse rooftops.
RCC Flat Roof Sections
For RCC rooftop installations, we manufacture the rails, hat sections, top hat sections, and support channels that form the mounting framework. Sections distribute panel weight evenly across the roof slab without concentrated point loading. Tilt angles are typically 10–15 degrees for flat RCC roofs to maximise annual energy yield.
Metal Sheet / Tin Shed Roof Sections
Industrial rooftop installations on metal sheet or tin shed roofs use hook bolts and purlin clamps that attach directly to the existing sheet roofing. We manufacture the secondary structural members and rails that run across the roof, onto which panel clamps are fixed — lightweight, precision-formed, and pre-punched for clean on-site installation.
Elevated Rooftop Structures
Where additional height clearance is needed — for ventilation, aesthetics, or to avoid parapet shading — elevated rooftop mounting frames are used. As a cold roll forming company in India with custom profile development capability, we manufacture the structural columns, rails, and bracing sections required for elevated rooftop systems, including configurations up to 8–10 feet elevated height.
Ground-Mount Solar Mounting Structures
Ground-mounted solar structures are used in utility-scale solar farms, solar parks, and open-land installations. As India pushes toward its 500 GW renewable energy target, demand for solar mounting structure manufacturers in India capable of handling large-volume orders has never been higher.
Fixed Tilt Ground-Mount Systems
Fixed-tilt ground-mount structures are the most common type for utility and commercial solar projects. They use driven or concrete foundation piles, upon which rafters, purlins, and rails support the panel array at a fixed tilt angle — typically 20–28 degrees in Central India for maximum annual energy generation. We manufacture the purlin sections, rafter sections, cross-bracing, and rail components for fixed-tilt systems.
Elevated Ground-Mount / Agri-Solar
Agrivoltaic installations — where solar panels are elevated above agricultural land to allow simultaneous farming — require taller structures with longer columns and stronger bracing to handle increased wind moment loads at height. We manufacture precision cold roll formed sections for elevated agri-solar configurations, with consistent profile geometry across long spans.
Industrial & Commercial Solar Mounting Structures
Factories, warehouses, and large commercial buildings are installing solar as part of energy cost reduction and ESG commitments. Industrial rooftop solar involves large panel arrays across complex roof configurations, requiring a solar mounting structure manufacturer in India who can supply consistent, precision sections at scale — and meet project-specific drawing requirements. We supply sections for both primary structural frameworks and secondary mounting rails in industrial solar installations.

Why Cold Roll Formed Sections Are Better for Solar Mounting Structures
Most EPC contractors who have worked with both fabricated/welded structures and cold roll formed sections quickly develop a strong preference for CRF. Here’s why :
Dimensional Consistency Across Every Piece
Cold roll forming produces the same profile geometry from the first metre to the last — across every section in the supply batch. Every rail, every purlin, every rafter fits exactly as the installation drawing specifies. No on-site cutting, grinding, or alignment correction. For large-scale solar projects where thousands of sections are installed, this consistency translates directly into faster installation and fewer field complications.
Higher Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Cold roll formed sections are produced from thin, high-strength steel strip that is shaped — rather than cut — into structural profiles. This produces sections that are lighter than equivalent hot-rolled or welded fabrications, without sacrificing structural capacity. For rooftop solar, reduced dead load on the roof structure is a significant engineering advantage.
Faster On-Site Installation
CRF sections are pre-punched, dimensionally accurate, and consistent in length — requiring minimal on-site preparation. EPC teams can install them directly off the truck. On large solar farms, this speed difference adds up to significant savings in labour time and project timeline.
Long-Term Corrosion Resistance Through Galvanization
Solar mounting structures face the elements for 25 years. Galvanized CRF sections — hot dip galvanized or pre-galvanized with Galvalume coating — provide the corrosion protection needed for long-term outdoor performance. As a cold roll forming company in India experienced in both standard and coastal-grade galvanization, we can recommend the right surface treatment for your project’s location and wind zone.

FAQ — Solar Mounting Structures
We manufacture cold roll formed structural sections for rooftop solar mounting structures (RCC flat roof, metal sheet / tin shed, elevated rooftop) and ground-mount solar structures (fixed-tilt, elevated / agri-solar). Sections include purlins, rafters, module rails, hat sections, top hat sections, U channels, strut channels, cross-bracing, columns, and angle sections , Cabel Trey,Walk rack.
Rooftop solar mounting structures are attached to an existing roof surface — RCC, metal sheet, or tin shed — and must distribute panel loads without overloading the roof. Ground-mount structures are anchored independently to the ground via driven piles or concrete foundations and carry all panel and wind loads themselves. Section sizes, profiles, and galvanization specifications differ based on installation type.
Yes, we supply solar mounting sections in hot dip galvanized (HDG), pre-galvanized (PG), and Galvalume-coated options. The appropriate coating depends on your project’s location, wind zone, and proximity to the coast. Our team can advise on the right specification for your project’s requirements.
