A Solar Panel waterproof EPDM rubber seal strip is an essential component for ensuring the integrity and longevity of solar panel installations. It provides a reliable seal against water, dust, and debris, enhancing the overall performance of solar energy systems.
Main Purpose & Function of Solar Panel waterproof EPDM rubber seal strip:
- Waterproofing: Creates a watertight barrier between solar panels and mounting rails/frames, preventing rain, snow, and moisture ingress.
- Debris Protection: Blocks dust, leaves, insects, and small debris from accumulating under panels.
- Wind Uplift Resistance: Helps secure panels by filling gaps, reducing wind-induced vibration or lifting.
- Thermal Expansion Buffer: Absorbs natural expansion/contraction of panels and metal frames due to temperature changes.
T-shaped waterproof EPDM rubber seal strip is used for solar photovoltaic panels. And EPDM rubber seal strip fits in between the panels to seal the gaps, making a Solar cover a water – tight shelter, ideal for Solar car ports or structures. It has great heat resistance. Silicone rubber extrusion seal has excellent chemical and physical property, high and low temperature resistant, wearing resistant,oil resistant, dust resistant etc. Besides, It also can be used in ship building, tele-communications, aviation, home appliances, lighting, medical, beauty salon equipment etc.
Features of T-shaped solar panel waterproof EPDM rubber seal strip:
- High-Quality EPDM Material: Made from durable EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, known for its excellent weather resistance and elasticity.
- Waterproof Properties: Designed to create a watertight seal, preventing moisture ingress that could damage solar panels and mounting structures.
- UV Resistance: Resists degradation from UV exposure, ensuring long-lasting performance in outdoor conditions.
- Flexible and Easy to Cut: Can be easily cut to desired lengths for customized applications.
- Improved Performance: Helps maintain optimal operating conditions by preventing moisture buildup and corrosion.
- Easy Installation: Simple to apply, making it accessible for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Reduces the risk of water damage, potentially saving costs on repairs and replacements.
- Wide applicability: Suitable for all kinds of general purpose framed solar panels on the market today from small solar systems to large even several megawatt systems to large even several megawatt systems can be used as its service range
Our rubbers are locally produced for us, made from highly modified elastic UV resistant, PVC rubber made from 3 different groups of raw material all to EU guidelines, and can be custom coloured and sized to order.
Method of Installation for Solar panel seam gasket :
- Clean the aluminium edging the panels.
- Roll out the rubber seal to the correct length.
- When you come to a clamp, cut the rubber using a Stanley knife or sheers.
- Cut the rubber so that the top waterproof edge fits around the clamp.
- Using a thin slither of rub it on the under side of the rubber seal and wedge into the gap to create a water tight seal.
The solar panel waterproof EPDM rubber seal strip is crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of solar installations. Its durable and flexible design offers effective protection against moisture and environmental elements. Solar panel seam gasket EPDM rubber seal strips are non-negotiable for durable, waterproof solar installations. They prevent moisture damage, enhance safety, and extend system life by leveraging EPDM’s exceptional weather resistance.
