Redesigned solar roof kit for fast, easy, durable solar
GAF Energy has launched an upgraded version of its solar roof product, DecoTech 2.0. The redesigned product will deliver the same homeowner value and give installers
a fast, easy, durable solar solution for customers. DecoTech 2.0 will maintain the
same aesthetic appeal of all GAF Energy’s products, while simplifying the installation process for installers. The upgraded system features wiring improvements for durability and safety. It also boasts fewer points of attachment and new fastener hardware for quick and simple installation. GAF Energy empowers roofing contractors across the U.S. with a comprehensive and economical approach to solar installations. Designed to provide a low-profile alternative to typical rack-mounted solar panels, GAF Energy solar integrates directly with the roofing system and is part of the primary water-shedding layer. New high-efficiency solar panels optimize power output and maximize aesthetic appeal, combined with robust flashing and a sleek black perimeter shield to help reduce the risk of leaks and animal intrusion.

Low port count PoE connectivity
Southwest Microwave has expanded its suite of IP-based Power over Ethernet (POE) intelligent perimeter intrusion detection solutions with the INTREPID MicroPoint-POE-S Fence Detection System. Suitable for fence applications with cut-or-climb intrusion risks, MicroPoint-POE-S employs proprietary digital signal processing algorithms
to precisely locate intrusion attempts
to within 3.6 ft (1.1m) while ignoring harmless disturbances caused by wind, rain, or vehicle traffic. MicroPoint-POE-S couples two decades of MicroPoint fence sensor performance with simplified, secure TCP/IP network integration
via a single Ethernet cable for power
and data transmission, delivering system installation and maintenance convenience, design flexibility and lower infrastructure costs. MicroPoint- POE-S features Sensitivity Leveling, a unique calibration process that adjusts for variations in fence fabric or tension to deliver uniform detection along the protected fence line without the need for costly fence reconditioning. Detection zones are assigned via web browser anywhere along the cable, regardless of processor location, reducing hardware costs and offering the flexibility to tailor zoning to a site’s unique requirements.

IP-Based power over ethernet fence detection system
Antaira Technologies fulfills the need for low port count PoE gigabit connectivity solutions for industrial applications, with the new LNP-0500G-bt and LNP-0500G- bt-24 series. The LNP-0500G-bt Ethernet switch is rugged, reliable, and suited for applications that require up to 90 Watts of PoE power. When working in automation and transportation the LNP-0500G-bt-24
is an even better fit, providing the same high power PoE with a wider range of input voltage powering the switch. Both LNP-0500G-bt and LNP-0500G-bt-24 series are 5-port industrial 802.3.bt PoE, gigabit unmanaged Ethernet switches, with 48
to 55Vdc high voltage power input(LNP- 0500G-bt) and a 12 to 55Vdc wide voltage power input (LNP-0500G-bt-24). Each
unit is designed with five gigabit Ethernet ports that are IEEE 802.3af/at/bt compliant on four of the ports (data and power output maximum 90W/port). The series supports MDI/MDI-X functions and 10Kbytes jumbo frames. This product series provides high EFT, surge (2000Vdc), and ESD (6000Vdc) protection to prevent any unregulated voltage and can support the power redundancy feature using a dual-power input design with reverse polarity protection. There is also a built-in relay warning function to alert maintainers when power failures occur.

All-round support for PV solar power professionals
SMA has developed the SMA 360 app for PV solar power professionals. It connects PV system simulation, planning, commissioning, and monitoring as well as automatic notification in case of service. SMA 360 makes life easier for installers and offers all- round support for their business. The app is available immediately in the app stores and is available free of charge for the first year. With SMA 360, solar professionals have all system data to hand at all times. All steps from PV system simulation and commissioning through to the mobile monitoring of all systems in the portfolio and on-site customer service can be performed directly on a cell phone or tablet. SMA 360 is regularly updated to incorporate new functions. In the future, these will include an automatic servicing notification.
