FRP and the ‘No pains, All gains’ proposition for rooftop solar power.

GI (galvanized iron) or MS (mild steel) materials used to design solar rooftop structures have two fundamental drawbacks; they are heavy and prone to corrosion. The search for a material that is both light and maintenance-free ends with fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP). FRP is a lightweight alternative to steel and doesn’t corrode even when exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
