Sunforson recently supplied solar mounting structures for an existing EPC client on a metal roof project. The project is located in Côte d'Ivoire, with a capacity of approximately 1.3MW.

The Client's Core Requirements: Low Cost Without Compromising Stability and Safety

The client had a tight budget, but was also very strict about roof stability and installation safety. These two requirements seemed contradictory. However, based on our years of experience working with EPCs, we offered a solution that perfectly matched their needs.

Our Solution: Aluminum Short Rails + Hot‑Dip Galvanized Anti‑Slip Walkways

• Extended Aluminum Short Rails – The client chose a drilled installation. We recommended extended short rails that can be fastened directly to the roof purlins, not just onto the metal sheet surface. This reduced the number of components, lowered the cost, and ensured much better load capacity and wind resistance. It successfully balanced the conflict between "cost saving" and "structural stability".

• Hot‑Dip Galvanized Anti‑Slip Walkways – Safety on the roof is critical. We additionally supplied hot‑dip galvanized anti‑slip walkways, which allowed workers to move safely on the metal roof and greatly reduced the risk of slipping.

Why Did the Client Choose Us Again?

This client is a long‑term partner who had purchased from us before and trusted our product quality and after‑sales support. For this specific project, they clearly pointed out the following reasons that convinced them:

1. Professional service & high responsiveness – We quickly understood their challenge (“low cost vs. high safety & stability”) and provided a feasible technical solution.

2. Excellent solution fit – The combination of extended short rails and anti‑slip walkways met both the structural requirements and their budget.

3. Smooth communication – From technical confirmation to delivery, there was no internal friction. The client appreciated the hassle‑free process.
