Calculating the Weight of Steel Coils for Photovoltaic Support Systems: A 2025 Engineer’s Guide

As solar installations hit record numbers globally (over 280 GW installed in Q1 2025 alone) , engineers face mounting pressure to optimize structural components. The weight of steel coils used in photovoltaic supports isn’t just about material costs – it’s a make-or-break factor for project viability. But here’s the kicker: a 10% weight reduction in mounting systems can lower installation costs by up to $0.08/watt according to the 2024 SolarFrame Report .

a 10% weight reduction in mounting systems can lower installation costs by up to $0.08/watt Weight (kg) = Density × Volume = 7850 kg/m³ × (π × (D² - d²) × W) / 4 variable thickness coils
