Plastic and Rubber Components for the Solar Industry
Manufacturing products in the solar industry has several unique demands and requirements that must be met before those products can be introduced to the market. This process can be simplified when you have a manufacturing partner who can provide the quality and quantity of components you need. The demand for alternative energy sources continues to grow, creating significant opportunities for companies that can meet these demands. Clark Rubber and Plastic is a world-class manufacturer of rubber and plastics with extensive experience in the solar industry, and we can provide components that meet the demands of this highly regulated industry.
Precision Manufacturing for Quality Results
At Clark Rubber and Plastic, we offer a wide variety of solar plastics and rubber components for solar applications. We utilize a wide range of materials and advanced processes such as plastic extrusion and rubber molding, enabling you to deliver more durable, efficient, and reliable solar panels. These plastic and rubber parts will help to block out rain, dust, and other particles while maintaining the overall structural integrity of the solar equipment. We can provide:
- Solar Panel Rubber Inserts
- Clamp Insert Assembly
- Plastic Insert
- Rubber Insert
- Fast Clamp Inserts
- Solar Frameless Clip Assembly
- Cable Trays
- Cable Inserts
- Electrical Coverings
These components are made from a wide range of plastic and rubber materials, including Non Conductive EPDM, EPDM, TPV, Viton®, SBR, HDPE, Polycarbonate, and a full range of thermoplastics and other engineered materials.
Benefits of Our Plastic and Rubber Components
Rubber and plastic components in solar structures can significantly reduce material and manufacturing costs compared to metal components. They also lead to a lower overall weight and reliable corrosion resistance. The right parts can increase the efficiency of solar cells, allowing users to achieve a longer usable lifetime, while the manufacturer can reduce overall costs. They are lighter, easier to work with, and feature resistance to both high and low temperatures, especially when produced through specialized methods like rubber molding or plastic extrusion.

Manufacturing Process for Solar Components
When starting the manufacturing process, select the right material for solar applications. Common options include EPDM, TPV, Viton®, polycarbonate, and other engineered thermoplastics. Our team will then handle the design and modeling process to verify that the fit and durability of the solar components are suitable for your application. We can then utilize various methods to manufacture the product, depending on the material and design. These processes include injection rubber molding, plastic extrusion, compression molding, and more. Once the plastic extrusion or rubber molding process is complete, we perform any secondary processes, such as trimming or bonding, before delivering the final product.
