RENEWABLE ENERGIES
BRALO has developed fastening and assembly solutions for structures and support elements used in the Renewable Energy sector, both in solar photovoltaic (PV) and CSP, as well as in wind power generation.
Experience in the development of fastening and assembly solutions is a core part of BRALO’s history.
FASTENING SOLUTIONS
We have developed innovative solutions as a result of our close collaboration with the main
industry players. These solutions have helped to reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) as
a key target.
We identify and work on those variables whose contribution is more significant in the LCOE reduction of the facilities:
CONTRIBUTION TO TIME REDUCTION
We reduce plant assembly times (reduction of costs associated with the assembly of components – PV Trackers, CSP Collectors and Heliostats) and plant start-up.
INCREASED STABILITY
We work on improving the stability of the structures, which helps to reduce maintenance costs and shutdowns during the plant’s lifespan.
INCREASE IN POWER GENERATION
Contribution to the increase in cumulative energy generation over the total plant´s lifespan.
CONSULTANCY ACCORDING TO CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS
Thanks to the effective integration of our competencies in R&D&I and flexible and efficient manufacturing, BRALO offers a technical consulting service tailored to your needs.
SOLAR STRUCTURES
The structures for fixing and assembling solar applications require high stability and stiffness. That is why we have developed High Strength
and consistent performance fasteners for this type of applications.
BRALO has developed fasteners to
the specific needs of the solar sector, creating specific products with high quality materials, protective coatings and the latest technology.
Our solutions provide accurate and reliable stability to the structural joints of the solar modules:
- FASTENERS FOR REINFORCEMENT OF THE MODULE SUPPORT: different structural rivets.
- MODULE TO STRUCTURE FIXINGS: rivets for smooth bore holes such as the solar versagrip and solar standard and the solar profile rivets.
- FASTENING OF THE TORQUE DRIVE CONNECTIONS AND OTHER TORQUE TUBE JOINTS, thanks to the Estrubolt rivet and rivet nuts.
ROOF PV INSTALLATIONS
In addition to the solutions used at utility scale, BRALO is currently involved in Photovoltaic and Thermal Solar Energy projects, both residential and commercial.
S-TREBOL RIVET
BRALO’s S-Trebol rivet is an ideal fastening element for the solar sector, offering the highest reliability, guarantee and safety in applications in the rooftop solar panel industry: for brackets, sandwich panel anchor bases, etc.
MANUFACTURING MATERIAL
AI Mg 5 high strength.
LARGE SPREADING JOINT
Allows a greater and better distribution of the clamping load.
WATERPROOF
Thanks to its neoprene gasket, it provides a perfect solution against surface breakage and watertight performance.
S-TREBOL WP RIVET
The S-trebol WP rivet is an improved version with a knurled shoulder on the mandrel. It is a fastener designed for demanding applications, here you can learn more about its features:
