Here comes the Sun

Growing up in Germany with a German mother and an American father, I often wondered what life would have been like if my parents had decided to move to the U.S. Instead, we visited the U.S. every couple of years for a few weeks to spend time with family. As I got older, I realized that having dual citizenship and a deep understanding of American culture opened up many opportunities for me.

Sunstalling the future

For over 10 years, California-based Sunstall has been building clean and efficient solar energy solutions for their clients. With a business model based on continuous improvement, sustainability, and streamlining of our work processes we were able to quickly expand from a West Coast startup to an industry leader.

We are focusing on the mechanical installation of ground mount solar arrays and all the add-on services like re-powering and repairing to maintain the assets over their lifetime. Now only a little more than a decade and 450 MW later, Sunstall’s team has had their boots on the ground in more than half of the US – from Hawaii to Massachusetts and everywhere in between.

We have installed systems of these manufacturers: Schletter, Solar Flexrack, MSI, Schueco, Cooper, Haticon, Legrand, First Solar, Creotecc, Shoals, RBI, GameChange, Unirac, Omcosolar, PLP, DCE, APA and more. At the same time, we have installed single-axis trackers from ATI, TerraFix, Clavijo, Nextracker, Exosun, Sunfolding, Soltec, RBI, FTC, and Archtech. We also worked on Ecolibrium, Aerocompact, Sollega, S5 and Erthos!

We are happy to support your project – get in touch with us!

Solar Fastening Dilemma- Part2!

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.

Torquing – The Solar Installation Mystery!

Loosely speaking, torque is a measure of the turning force on an object such as a bolt – and as Dan Shugar, CEO of Nextracker stated : “Torquing is by nature inexact because of the many factors that can affect friction – from surface texture to debris, rust and humidity”*. In this article I will try to shed some light into the mysterious world of torquing in the solar installation world.

10 Things to improve a Solar Ground-Mount Project

As photovoltaic (PV) projects have evolved over time, the industry has focused on reducing costs to increase the adoption of solar power. This reduction has been dramatic, and the corresponding increase in solar PV projects is exciting, with new records in project size and overall deployments announced nearly every year. As solar project costs drop so, too, have racking costs through the utilization of improved engineering analysis, appropriate and efficient material selection, and improved manufacturing approaches. Knowing that racking continues to play an integral role in solar installations, savvy project integrators are paying more attention than ever to products and solutions available to reduce costs and create job site efficiencies. To help end-users optimize PV installations, the following breaks down the project development and construction process, from start to finish.
