NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

In this pv magazine Webinar we will examine the rising incidence of extreme weather events, including hail, thunderstorms, hurricanes and more, and what kind of risks these events pose to solar assets in the field. Webinar partner, solar tracker mount provider PV Hardware, will review its stowing strategy, demonstrating how its products respond to extreme weather events.

Heather Sauder, associate principal at CPP Engineering Consultants, will present how these events have led to a higher Risk Category (RC2), emphasizing the importance of conducting site-specific wind studies to better assess and mitigate risks for solar installations.

Eduardo Chillaron, technical director, and Chowdary Charan, technical office director at PV Hardware will cover the importance of pre-assembly and proper installation for solar trackers, along with key operation and maintenance (O&M) practices to ensure long-term performance, highlighting crucial do’s and don’ts in tracker management.

Attendees will walk away from the webinar with an improved understanding of how PVH approaches hail, wind, and snow stowing events.
