Low profile microflashing technology
QuickBOLT with Microflashing has passed 2 waterproof tests at IntertekLlabs on TPO roofs. The QuickBOLT with Microflashing has been installed on Asphalt Shingle Roofs all over the country and can now
be used as a new solution for installers to work on residential or commercial TPO roofs. The QuickBOLT with Microflashing is UL Certified and can be installed in under 60 seconds. It has passed the following third-party tests for TPO roofs with no leakage: ASTM E331 – 120 min
@ 15.0psf, and ASTM E2124 – 6" water column for 7 days. The QuickBOLT with Microflashing is available online now along with all test documents for TPO and Asphalt Shingle Roofs.

Precise, burr-free cuts
Emerson expands the Greenlee Shear 30T with seven new die sets and a new bare kit configuration option, giving professionals the ability to choose
dies specific to their needs and utilize compatible pumps they currently own. Mounted on a mobile work station, the transportable Shear 30T is designed to increase productivity, improve precision, and eliminate the need for rework while cutting strut, threaded rod, DIN rail and Legrand 3000 Series Raceway. The Shear 30T uses interchangeable dies made from durable, long-lasting material and can be rotated to extend die life. The
die profile design offers compatibility with multiple brands and sizes of strut, providing versatility for the operator. The quick die change system allows the user to easily swap out dies with no tools or loose parts. For increased efficiency, the dies automatically retract after each cut so that they are in position for repeated use. In addition, the use of dies improves safety by eliminating sharp exposed blades when cutting various types of material such as strut and threaded rod.

High-speed ground mounted cleaning system
The SOLA-TECS F system was developed for cleaning PV modules on ground mounted systems. With the F system horizontal oriented brush movement, it is possible to clean from 80" (2000mm) to the height of a mounted system up
to 13ft (4000mm) with a high rate of speed not achieved by other manual methods, from 3300 to 6600 sq. ft. per hour. The SOLA-TECS F is rugged and uncomplicated, with no batteries or electrical system, and is made entirely of mechanical components which can be adjusted on-site. The F system was designed as a modular construction kit for full flexibility by adding or removing carriages. High pressurized water powers the rollers spinning action which gently but effectively cleans the panels with little effort. The SOLA-TECS F system is hand operated by two workers and its brush bar can be swiveled
at the end of the row, producing a thorough cleaning end to
end. It can also jump gaps up to 12". Furthermore, water is distributed throughout the entire width of the brush ensuring even cleaning from frame to frame. Cleantecs GmbH in Germany has been producing high quality cleaning products for over
30 years and is constantly adapting the process of solar panel cleaning. ProSolarClean, LLC, professional solar panel cleaners in California, represents the Sola-Tecs products in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central, and South America.

Flexible production and simplified installation
With its Han ES Press HMC series, HARTING has developed an interface that can be installed quickly without tools and
is robust enough to be connected and disconnected ten- thousand times. This quick-connect technology is the Han ES Press HMC, with the suffix ‘HMC’ standing for High Mating Cycles. The contact inserts are equipped with a pre- tensioned cage clamp that is triggered by an actuator. If the actuator is pushed into the contact chamber, the cage clamp returns to its original position and secures the conductor. Only a screwdriver is needed to release the connection. The Han ES Press HMC fits with Han standard housing sizes 6
B to 24 B. The standard housings are already available in versions with locks and seals optimized for high mating cycles. Complementing this, contacts and grounding elements are now used that are extremely resistant to abrasion due to a special surface coating. The Han ES Press series is reliable in all types of harsh environments, including high vibration environments. This is due to how tight the conductor sits as a result of the constant pressure of the cage clamp. Installation and connection times are reduced when compared to conventional cage clamps, screw connections or hard wiring techniques. As a result, on-site installation time is reduced, and fast detachability facilitates servicing.
