Our solar fastening Dilemma – Where are we coming from?
The global solar market is growing and so is the pain of dealing with nuts and bolts as the standard method to connect an assembly. To review why Nuts & Bolts are holding the solar industry back visit : Torquing – the Solar Installation Mystery!
It’s been almost 5 years since I wrote this article being frustrated with the lack of quality and other related issues, such as:
- supply chain issues – procuring nuts and bolts in bulk guarantees inventory issues
- manufacturing issues- ordering an M10 and getting an DIN M10 bolt are two different things – oh – and btw the nut should match the bolt.
- losing nuts and bolts in harsh conditions is a given! Try installing them with gloves in NY at 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
- and then you have the discussion about the torque – if interested read my first article. See video below and you see what I am referring to.







Las emisiones nocivas para el planeta están en aceleración por lo que necesitan reducirse tan rápido y enertanto como sea posible. Hacer una transición a energías renovables es mi prioridad. Hacer esta visión una realidad se debe a compañías como Sunstall Inc. en la cual estoy empezando mis prácticas profesionales.
