Has more resistance to corrosion and unistrut catalogue shows better than 25 years that means the unistrut wont corrode as its zinc coating thiickness is more in hot deep galvanozed steels.

another thing you should not put directly put the galvanied steel directly on roof surface its contact area with roof surface it enhance the corrosion activity as the roof surface has material which can enhance the corrosion during the wet season.

always use hotdip galvanized unistrut they are costly but safe

@123kkambiz If this comment is for me, you might want to watch the video again. I used hot dipped galv unistrut on this project with spacers that keep the strut off of the roof......

where did you get the galvanized rails from I have looked everwhere

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@chad911TT you can get them at a local electrical supply

Where do you get those "clips" to fasten down the panels to the unistrut?

[FUBARPROTOCOL]

@BigBearHuskyMusher You can get them at Home Depot but you will need to paint them because they will rust. They are zinc and not the hot dipped galvanized. You can get the galvanized ones at any commerical electricl supply and they will not rust..............

How do you screw the channels onto the roof?

Nice video, I like the sounds o' dat "hot dipped" rails lol. hello everyone who is interested in this kind of thing right after me and watches everything in the same order as me! :)

You should not use the ordinary galvanized unistrut, they are electrogalvanized, their galvanized coating avarage life in open and moisture environment is 3 to 4 years which eventually its surface corrodes. what happens the aluminium frame of solar panel acts as sacrifical anode when it is connected to unistrut steel, therefore during rainy or moisture seasons, slowly the aluminium fram of solar panel gets corroded and fail eventually.

you better use hotdip galvanized unistrut which ....
