Solar power technology has advanced impressively while also becoming less expensive. Getting PV panels installed is a perfect way to generate electricity without negatively impacting the environment.

Solar energy equipment, whether for an industrial application of solar energy, commercial or residential, requires you to consider various components to produce a quality system that will last for the 25+ years that customers are expecting.

These include:

  • Cable and wire management products, from UV-resistant cable ties to cable clamps and cable routing clips
  • Protection and finishing solutions, including bolt caps and profile end caps, and cable sleeves and cable wraps
  • PCB hardware for Solar PV inverters, such as fan guards and PCB spacers and PCB supports
  • Access hardware for electronic enclosures, from handles to lock cam types and tamper proof hinges
  • Fasteners for ease of mounting, such as push rivets
  • Liquid-tight components, including cable glands, weather-stripping tape and cable entry systems
  • Unfortunately, errors in installation and the use of poor-quality components can cause a lot of expensive problems. Customers are often left paying the price for repairs and services, installation teams’ reputations suffer, and the solar community ends up looking untrustworthy.

A bad installation of the PV system significantly impacts performance. Not only do the panels have to be placed for maximum exposure to the sun, but they have to be mounted with consideration for extreme weather conditions such as strong winds, which is one of the main causes for damage to the PV system.
