Morena Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Are aluminum rails better than galvanised and which reputable service providers can I use for buying? I have 16 panels that need to be installed and I stay in Johannesburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewJdc Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 In jhb youll probably get away with galvanized steel but not cape town. Aluminum is light weight but expensive compared to steel. I think in your case (mounting 16 panels), steel might be a cheaper option in the short term. But i would go for aluminum if cost is not a consideration.
