a smarter solar panel

Traditional solar panels are extremely sensitive to even the smallest amount of shade and mismatch. Typically solar panels must be properly matched and balanced in a string although tenKsolar has developed a new breed of "smart" solar panels that's not only improving photovoltaic performance and but making them easier to install. Based on their propriety RAIS (redundant array of integrating solar) technology the smarter solar panel has no single point of failure. Most traditional solar panels have a number of single points of failures which include a spot of shade, a short, or physical damage to in one place will dramatically drop the energy output of the whole panel.

tenKsolar's solar panels designed with RIAS technology are completely redundant, meaning they're not bothered by a little shade and if part of the panel should somehow be damaged, the rest of it operates as it should, no single point failure! That's why the folks over at tenKsolar call their product smarter than the average solar panel.

Also there are a couple features that increase the ease of installation. First the tenKsolar panels are universal and self balancing therefore mixing these solar panels into an array of other model solar panels will not result in mismatch.

The tenKsolar product increases saftey because of it's low voltage output and their unique ability to not generate any power until they're connected to a load. Traditional solar panels always put out power when the sun shines on them. This makes tenKsolar panels far safer and easier to work with during installation.

rail-free solar panel mounting

Traditionally, solar panels are a tedious process to install because the process of installing solar panels on a residential rooftop involves the rails to be cut, spliced together and the metal frame of the solar panels and rails themselves have to be grounded according to code. Currently the process is quite primitive and can be time consuming even though the two most popular solar panel mounting companies, UniRac and ProSolar are offering new products to reduce parts and installation time, the companies fail to remove the rails.

ZepSolar, a startup solar panel mounting manufacturer will be introducing a new way to mount solar panels to your home's roof without rails at the upcoming Solar Power International trade show in Anaheim.

The rail-free, auto-grounding drop-in solar panel mounting system is an ultra efficient method of attaching solar panels to your roof that according to the company installs 6 times faster than conventional systems and greatly reduces material waste while enhancing the structural integrity and aesthetics of solar panels.



Prices of solar panels have been dropping like a rock, since there is an oversupply of solar panels in the market. Although other system components such as inverters and racking systems have not dropped in prices as fast as solar panels. ZepSolar claims that by removing cumbersome rails out process of installing solar panels can save up to $1,000 per kilowatt installed.
