Frost Heave and Solar Arrays
For continuous racks, the vertical deformation results in additional stresses on the racking system and can cause a variety of issues such as cracked modules; solar panel distortion; damage to conductor; connection failures; and more.
Designing PV Systems with Energy Storage
For the third installment in our Solar + Storage series, we'd like to highlight a recent webinar hosted by ATA Insights about designing PV systems with energy storage in the Americas.
SEIA Releases New Go-To Guide for Residential Installations
The white paper, developed by members of SEIAs Solar Quality Assurance Working Group, provides recommended best practices on everything from contractor qualifications to the design and actual installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system.
Solar Industry Unveils Campaign to Streamline Solar Permitting
With the support of industry leaders, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and The Solar Foundation today are unveiling the Solar Automated Permit Processing (SolarAPP) initiative, which will streamline permitting and slash the cost of solar installations.
California startup HahaSmart aims to become low-cost disruptor in solar
The first solar O-2-O platform (hahasmart.com) enables lower solar costs for homeowners and more business for small solar contractors
Metal Roofing Makes Solar a More Cost-Effective Residential Option
Installing a solar system on metal will increase the modules performance and decrease energy and installation costs as compared to other common roofing materials. Plus, metal also has other environmental benefits
A Guide to Safely Installing Solar Panel Arrays to Any Property Type
As the world continues to shift towards alternative energy sources, solar power will only continue to grow. Technologies will come and go and the astute product providers will continue to innovate.
DuPont Microcircuit Materials Introduces New Solamet PV76x Photovoltaic Metallization Pastes
Enabling High-efficiency Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) Solar Cells
Optimizing Solar Plant Implementation
In this paper, we will focus on a theoretical study and its application to a concrete site. We will try to answer the question: How can we optimize the implementation of horizontal trackers on a solar plant?
One With The Roof
Installers working on a tile roof must deal with particularly difficult challenges. Tile roofs are manufactured from many types of materials, including clay, zinc coated aluminum, concrete, wood and fiberglass, all of which come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Installing solar panels on a tile roof takes more time than traditional asphalt shingle roofs and often requires additional framing.
Solar Energy Moves into a Brighter Future
Sun tracking is accomplished through azimuth and elevation (screw jack) drives that require a high degree of accuracy and durability.
Rail-less Residential PV Mounting
By providing a pre-engineered kit that incorporates the all-in-one concept (fasteners, flashing, brackets and bonding plates, all from one source), Roof Tech products are easy to understand and can be standardized for any array configuration
ASIC Based Current Transducers
The implementation of ASIC based current transducers opens up functionality that the traditional discrete component transducers could never achieve.
Using Elastomeric Roof Coatings to Resolve Existing Roof Systems & Solar PV Life Cycle Disparities
Installing a white reflective "Cool Roof" coating is an inexpensive solution to extend the existing roof service life and synchronize the roof with the solar array service life.
A New Class of Rogowski Coil Split-core Current Transducers

Until now Rogowski coils have delivered at best a 2% positioning error. With this improvement, the error due to the positioning of the conductor is specified at a maximum of 0.65% of the measured value for a 15mm diameter conductor irrespective of where it is positioned, even if it is adjacent to the coil clasp.
