Solar wire hanger with open and close function
The NFI-Hanger is the newest addition to Nine Fasteners line of UL Listed solar wire management devices. The NFI-Hanger was designed in conjunction with First Solar for use with their Series 6 modules, but can be used with any modules within a ground mount installation. Constructed out of hard drawn galvanized steel, the NFI-Hanger will withstand any severe weather events it might encounter. An attractive feature of the NFI-Hanger to installers, is the opening and closing functionality it offers, which results in
the ability to add or remove wires from the Hanger during maintenance without removing and replacing the Hanger itself. The NFI-Hanger is UL Listed to scope 1565 and is currently available for samples or purchase.

Powerful solar charge controller
SS Power Technology’s new charge controller, RapidSolar Charge Controller, is a patented electronic circuit that delivers 4X more electrical power to batteries, resulting in a significant reduction in cost. In addition, it greatly reduces the size and weight of the solar power system with batteries. RapidSolar Charge Controller eliminates the need for expensive electronics such as MPPTs, PWM-type charge controllers. The circuit performance has been verified
by NREL for one type of load. The circuit makes it possible for the fully automated operation of the solar power system with storage by providing for automatic turn- off and restart functionality. The circuit implements a new constant power battery charging algorithm, which ensures all the power in the solar modules is delivered to the batteries all the time.
