About this event
This webinar, hosted by Origami Solar and Array Technologies, highlights the benefits of installing steel framed modules paired with single-axis trackers, offering resilient solutions to weather challenges for utility-scale solar projects.
The discussion addresses various strategies for fortifying solar projects against opposing risks of weaker utility scale modules and increasing extreme weather events, emphasizing how stronger steel frames and tracker solutions can simultaneously lower cost and project risk.
Participants will gain insights into the strength advantages of steel frames over aluminum, including how this impacts utility scale solar projects by delivering higher mechanical performance that translates into superior wind resistance. Superior mechanical performance better protects modules during high-windspeed events leading to expanded market access for 400mm single-axis tracker systems in extreme weather regions.
Both companies will additionally explore the long-term reliability and sustainability benefits of steel compared to aluminum, as well as its transformative potential for lowering installation costs while further optimizing tracker and module integration in the solar industry.
