    Not just poster stands, but t-slot can be used to create your own enclosure in the trade shows. It makes the company stand out in the crowd and look more professional. The enclosure walls can be used as poster stands for maximum visibility and advertisement.

    Try a powder-coated aluminum track, preferably bright colors such as red or yellow. That would make your design pop and give an overall good look.

    Solar Farms are usually installed in isolated places, with extreme heat and temperatures. T-slot aluminum extrusion would provide durability to the structure. Aluminum has a higher temperature resistance compared to iron and steel. This makes aluminum t-slot a better option I think for solar farms.
