Standard Galvanized Steel C Channel (Lip Channel / C Section) for Solar Panel Mounting and Structural Applications

C Channel Steel, also known as lip channel or C section steel, is a cold-formed steel profile with a distinctive "C"-shaped cross-section. It is widely used in construction, solar panel mounting systems, mechanical equipment, vehicle frames, and bridge structures due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and structural efficiency.

Material Options

C channels are typically manufactured from carbon steel or low-alloy steel, with popular grades including Q235 and Q345. For specific applications, stainless steel or other special materials can be used. Surface treatments such as hot-dip galvanizing enhance corrosion resistance and extend service life in outdoor environments.


Production Process

Produced through precision cold-forming and roll-forming processes, followed by galvanizing, cutting, and punching as required. Custom sizes and hole patterns are available upon request.


Key Features

High Strength & Bending Resistance
The "C" profile offers excellent load-bearing performance and resistance to deformation.

Lightweight & Cost-Effective
Provides strong structural support while being lighter than solid steel, reducing shipping and installation costs.

Easy Installation
Standardized sizes and shapes allow for simple bolted or welded connections, streamlining assembly.

Corrosion Resistance
Galvanized surface finish significantly improves resistance to rust, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use.


Application Areas

Solar Panel Mounting Systems
Used as structural rails and support frames for PV modules, especially in ground and roof-mounted installations.

Construction & Building Frames
Ideal for use in floor joists, wall studs, roof purlins, and curtain wall sub-frames.

Mechanical Equipment
Acts as a support frame for machines, cranes, and production lines.

Vehicle Manufacturing
Applied in the structural frame of trucks, trailers, and buses to provide strength and durability.

Bridge Engineering
Utilized in auxiliary supports or temporary structures for bridge maintenance and construction.
