Our Role in Solar Energy
At Hynes, we recognize that building sustainable renewable energy solutions is critical to our environment and a key component of addressing climate change. Since 2012, Hynes has been working with numerous solar racking OEMs and EPCs to design, optimize and develop solar energy racking solutions—using precision-engineered roll form fabrication techniques—to optimize strength and to minimize component cost. Hynes has extensive expertise at identifying improvements in roll form profile design to clearly improve load performance and structural integrity, while identifying opportunities to trade-off material weight and reduce cost.
As the largest solar solutions roll forming company in North America, we’ve designed, produced and delivered racking components that power over 13 gigawatts of energy for some of the largest solar energy and racking companies in the world. Our engineering team can design to your specific print and tolerances, regardless of application. We provide a broad range of roll form component solutions that support large-scale, multi-site utility power programs, including fixed-tilt ground mount and tracking systems, commercial-grade rooftop systems, and a wide array of carport and canopy solar energy solutions. We have shipped to hundreds of sites across North America, and to numerous other countries including Puerto Rico, Guam, Mexico and India.
Hynes utilizes automated in-line production techniques to adjust for the various component lengths and numerous hole patterns required to support various PV module designs. This is a huge advantage in simplifying racking design and in reducing costs, as racking OEMs need flexibility in hole pattern and component lengths to support custom projects for the solar energy solutions they support. Every design is different, yet Hynes will design a flexible solution to support the variability in racking design for our customers. This greatly eliminates secondary operations and reduces labor in the field, further improving the economics of the total cost of ownership in your customers’ solar energy solutions.
Hynes has focused our expertise in producing roll form components for four major solar racking options in the industry, including solar tracker profiles, solar carport profiles, utility rooftop profiles and fixed-tilt ground mount system profiles.
To support production, we’ve invested in press braking machines, numerous Amada Turret machines, and secondary processing capabilities to support blocking and end-cap solutions for rooftop racking profiles. Additionally, our more than 60 roll form mills allow us to quickly produce a variety of standard profiles, including Z-purlins, C-channels, box channels, strut profiles, hat channels, and several other common profiles for solar racking solutions and mounting solar panels. We also produce roll form shapes for power distribution, wire management and cable management, as well as components for battery management, stiffeners and din rail for power panels and inverter panels, and more. Hynes is your single-source for all of your racking component needs.
