HellermannTyton Module-Level Wire Management
When securing PV wires, never run cable ties through a module’s razor-sharp mounting holes. This is one of the most common causes of premature failure on solar installations. In addition to being a problem on stationary panels, single-axis trackers will quickly sever a cable tie, regardless of material. There is a “right” part for every job, including edge clips, fir trees and arrowhead fasteners, among others, designed for solar applications.
Major considerations for correct module-level wire management:
- Home run routing
- Movement from wind and/or tracker rotation
- Lateral pulling from thermocycling
- Installation factors
Solar Locking Clamp
Self-locking clamps have a living hinge designed to hold cables in place while allowing for thermocycling and blowing winds.
Solar E-Clips
E-Clips are proven in the field on over 5 GWs. The recently upgraded Solar E-Clip has a new reinforced material blend to make it even stronger. It’s the most universal and versatile wire management part in the solar industry.
Metal Clips
Metal edge clips are designed for the installer, with their unique, flat edge to ease installation and reduce repetitive injuries. Rounded edges will assure site owners that chaffing is next to impossible.
