GEOWEB geocells drastically reduce required cross-sections because the 3D system delivers increased strength to non-cohesive soils such as sand and recycled concrete/asphalt.

AerosUSA

AerosUSA’s high performance cable protection systems protect wiring in harsh environments such as solar and outdoor installations. New UL Listed / UL 1660 Conduits are used where ANSI 356, NFPA 70, and NEC Codes apply. These UL94VO conduits and fittings are flexible, lightweight, and are self-extinguishing and flame retardant. They can also be coupled with their new splitable frame Cable Entry System to make the installation of pre-terminated cables and conduits efficient and cost effective. These splitable frames include integrated gaskets, are NEMA 4 / 4X rated, and accept a variety of cable grommets depending on the cable OD.

HellermannTyton

Solar tracker-specific ratchet clamps are tailor made for routing cables along Nextracker and Array Technologies torque tubes. Based on their patented Ratchet P-Clamp platform, they fit two of the most commonly installed trackers today. Clamps attach tool-lessly with one hand, making them easy and fast to install. Ratchet mechanism makes them adjustable; 3 clamps fit bundle diameters from 0.25” to 2.0”. Reopen for servicing by inserting a flat-blade screwdriver. Pre-install on cables or trackers to save time in the field. Extra cable tie saddle for extended wire routing options. Made of robust impact-resistant and UV stable materials.

Panduit

Panduit solar energy solutions provide robust end-to-end solutions that offer maximum reliability, productivity, and safety. The Panduit Solar Wire Hangers are easy to install, very durable, and can be reused should future maintenance of the cable runs be needed. Solar Wire Hangers are designed to hang from a pre-drilled hole in a solar panel and accommodate up to eight 8-gauge PV wires. Made of 304 stainless steel, these wire hangers are suitable for PV cable management in solar construction. The hangers are cULus listed to UL1565, which is key to meeting installation requirements. pages.panduit.com/solar.html

Panduit

The Panduit Metal Solar Edge Clips are made of stainless steel and designed to withstand the UV environment. For managing lead wires coming off each PV module, Panduit MEC-family clips are a solution. Easy to insert on panel frames, the clips bite and lock in place for a clip that will not move once installed. The improved installation efficiency allows MEC100-series clips to be installed on the panel prior to shipment to avoid the clip becoming disengaged or preventing panels from lying flat. Built for harsh environments, these clips are highly durable and suitable for PV cable management in solar construction. The versatility of these clips includes the option for 1 to 2 PV wires for routing wires parallel or perpendicular. The 4-wire version clips provide an option for routing up to 4 wires parallel with reference to the solar panel frame. pages.panduit.com/solar.html

Panduit

The Panduit UV Resistant Corrugated Loom Tubing (CLT) is available to route and protect wire and cabling in an outdoor environment directly at the solar panel. Made of polypropylene material, the CLT contains inhibitors to resist breakdown due to UV exposure. The UV Resistant Corrugated Loom Tubing is slit to allow for easy installation and can be installed with a variety of solar system solutions from Panduit. pages.panduit.com/solar.html

Panduit

Mechanical and chemical attributes of the weather resistant Nylon 612 Cable Ties provide resistance to UV rays and chemical attack when exposed to various concentrations of salts, hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons bases, and acid rain. Nylon 612 ties offer up to 20 years of weathering life expectancy and resistance to zinc chlorides and diluted acids. Used for wire management on galvanized surfaces and frames, Nylon 612 Cable Ties are suitable for outdoor applications where temperatures range from -76°F (-60°C) up to 194°F (90°C). The one-piece design with locking wedge provides low thread force for easy and reliable installation. This feature improves productivity and reduces operator fatigue. pages.panduit.com/solar.html

QuickBOLT

This deck-mounted solution features a 7/8” tall EPDM cylinder and install screw. Installers use this in combination with their preferred shoulder clips for supporting conduit anywhere on the rooftop. Mount on asphalt shingle, TPO, or EPDM roofs in 5 seconds or less, no sealant required. Simply drive the mounting screw through the shoulder clip and EPDM block until the block is compressed. Torquedriven compression seen in their Conduit Mount is called BoltSeal and is the same patented sealing technology used in their QB2 mount.

SoftPaw PV

SoftPaw is a module integrated wire management device that makes wire clips and zip ties obsolete. Being part of the solar panel’s frame wall, SoftPaw eliminates maintenance costs and reliability issues typically associated with wire management solutions. The module’s leads come preloaded into SoftPaw at typical use locations eliminating wire management in most cases. SoftPaw is sized to manage all cables within the array including those from the j-box, optimizer, microinverter, and homeruns at a cost equivalent to a few clips.
