Valentin Software
The new version of the design software PVSOL premium 2018 makes the design of photovoltaic plants easy and ef cient. For the input of object data, 3D models in different le formats can now be imported into the software via a new interface. This makes
it possible to import realistic and detailed
3D objects created with photos taken from different perspectives (e.g. using a drone). This adds another important tool to the already existing possibility of importing oor plans, cadastral maps, and screenshots from web-based satellite maps, like Google Earth, directly into the 3D visualization and thus integrating them to scale into a project. www.valentin-software.com
Solar Fasteners
Arconic
Huck fasteners have been engineered to provide high installation speed and vibration resistance, making them a joining system solution for a wide range of solar applica- tions. These fasteners are engineered to be installed in 1 - 2 seconds, and self-grounding Huck fasteners are now being used to replace conventional multi-part, grounding assemblies. To add even more exibility and speed to installations Huck offers battery powered tooling. Huck fasteners also have the strength to support the connection of
the solar panels to their frames, providing
a level of vibration resistance which allows them to withstand winds exceeding 100mph. Finally, these fasteners are designed to
be tamper proof, providing an additional measure of security for valuable PV panels. www.afsrhuck.net/us
EJOT Fastening Systems L.P.
EJOT’s new membrane friendly TPO EJObar, has been designed to create a non-penetrative xing base for a wide range of applied systems, from mechanical and electrical essentials such as pipework and cable trays, through to lightweight solar PV and solar thermal installations.
