A recent trend in the solar market is for PV module makers to produce greater electrical power modules-- in some cases as high as 600 W DC output for a solitary module. While these greater result modules enhance performances in a number of elements of module installations in a solar energy plant, the larger size-- sometimes over 2.3 m x 1.2 m-- provides brand-new engineering challenges to the business supplying racking to support the modules. The bigger size indicates even more pressure from snow or wind is being supported by each PV module and the module structures are fairly less tight. The larger modules need stronger and also usually longer structures to sustain them properly.

"We are proud to have been brought into roadmap discussions with a number of PV module makers to consult them on how these brand-new larger layout modules influence the prices for racking materials as well as supply," claims Scott Van Pelt, chief engineer at GameChange Solar.

"Furthermore, we are thrilled to have actually successfully collaborated with these makers to validate that GameChange Solar's fixed-tilt and also tracker systems can appropriately sustain their modules in a selection of loading conditions," he adds.
