Nuvo Prime Z Purlins for Solar Structures
Nuvo Prime Z purlins are cold roll-formed Z sections from NUVO Steelcraft, optimised for solar structures and roofing frameworks. Their shape allows lapping and continuous spans, which improves load distribution and reduces deflection across long module tables or roof bays. Produced in precise sizes with protective coatings, these purlins give an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and long service life outdoors.
How Z Purlins Work in Solar Structures
On solar plants, Z purlins usually carry the modules across the table, while C lip channels act as rafters and solar strut channels provide adjustable fixing points. This combination is common in ground mounted solar MMS and in solar structures for MW scale projects, where long continuous spans reduce the number of supports needed. Maintenance access between rows can be added with our solar walkways.
For building roofs and wall cladding, see our general-purpose Z purlins and C purlins range used in pre engineered buildings. If you are unsure which section suits your project, read Z purlins vs C purlins: which is best.
Manufacturing and Quality Checks
All Nuvo Prime Z purlins are roll-formed in-house at our Jalgaon facility, with web, flange, lip and thickness checked before dispatch. Our engineering team can suggest section size and lapping details based on span, module weight and wind load.
Where Z Purlins Are Used in Solar Structures
In a solar mounting structure, Z purlins span between the rafters and carry the solar modules. NUVO Prime Z purlins are made in Jalgaon and supplied across Maharashtra for both rooftop and ground mounted solar MMS. For building roofs and wall girts, see our C purlins and Z purlins page.
Z Purlins for Solar: Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Z purlins used in solar structures?
Z purlins can overlap at supports, which makes them efficient over the long, continuous rows of a solar plant.
Which other components do I need?
A complete structure also uses solar strut channels and C lip channels. We supply the full set.
