What Benefits Do High-Quality Clamps Bring To Solar Energy Systems?

When people consider a solar energy system, most homeowners think about the efficiency of the panels, the performance of the inverter, and the installation costs. Yet, there is one little part that is often overlooked: the clamps.

These uncomplicated metal components secure the solar panels to the mounting system, keeping the solar system secure and performing efficiently for years. If the wrong type of clamps is used or if the clamps are not made from quality materials, serious problems may arise, including loose panels, lower performance, or even safety concerns

1.Stability

They tightly hold panels to rails or roofs and help to maintain stability in wind, rain, and thermal expansion. Weak clamps or improperly attached clamps can cause the best panels to sway or even detach. A strong, corrosion-resistant Solar End Clamp system gives you comfort knowing your solar system will hold strong over the long term. 

2.     No rust 

The quality of the materials will ensure that they will last through the natural environment and continue to hold fast even in adverse conditions. Always check that the Standing Seam Roof Clamp you are putting in place is rated to be outside durable and certified for solar applications. Just this one little check will help you with long-lasting installation and be trouble-free for long years.

3.     Ensure electrical safety 

In addition to mechanical stability, the Solar Drain Clip also aids in electrical safety. Improperly designed and/or installed clamps can lead to grounding concerns and/or contact failure, which can lead to electrical hazards. Grounding clamps are used to safely discharge stray electrical current and to avoid damage to the system itself and potentially to your home. Approved solar clamps are certified for safety and have been tested to meet various safety standards, which reduces the risk of a short and/or leakage of energy. 

4.     Secure mount

Next, and equally important to grounding clamps, is secure mounting. Remember, even the slightest misalignment of the panel may be a problem when taking in sunlight for energy production. Plus, the danger to endure is the wind creating vibrations, making micro-cracks on the face of the solar array, and reducing overall energy output. A well-secured system from SM Solar provides for continuous energy production and minimizes necessary repairs, enabling more homeowners to receive a quicker ROI.
