Schletter is North America’s premier provider of solar mounting systems for utility-scale PV projects, commercial and residential PV installations, and PV carports. G-Max by Schletter, the next generation of racking, is known for its exceptional ease of installation in the field. Its components are optimized for strength and safety, and offer 25% more girder strength and a 40% increase in purlin spans. With more adjustment capability in the field, reduction of hardware, and lower costs across multiple installation steps, G-Max is saving customers both time and money.

The G-Max system’s fast and easy installation is so simple that a single person can install the girder, head adapter, and strut without assistance. A couple of weeks ago, we showed you just how easy it was to install the girder assembly with a single person. Check out that blog post and video if you haven’t seen it.

This week, we will address the Purlin Layout—a simple two-step process. Watch the video now to see just how easy it is to install G-Max purlins. You will get an up-close view of the purlin clamps and an under-side view of the purlin stiffener during installation.

Here are the steps:

  1. Mount the purlin to girder assembly. Start with the top purlin and work toward grade. The part number is always on the north side of the rack. Be sure to check that the purlin is oriented correctly.
  2. Position purlin in the purlin clamps. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for both the middle and bottom purlin.

Schletter is changing the way the solar industry views steel solar mounting products in a few key ways. By pre-assembling many components prior to shipment and allowing installers to unfold and connect the structure more easily on site, Schletter has made mounting products easier for utility-scale PV projects, commercial and residential PV installations, and more. Only two tools are required for installation! The G-Max’s fixed-tilt construction and competitive pricing set this American-made steel mounting system apart from its competitors. G-Max also comes with a 20-year limited warranty for additional peace of mind.

Disconnected data can delay fuel-quality alerts, Titan Cloud says

Disconnected data can delay fuel-quality alerts, Titan Cloud says

This article draws on a Titan Cloud presentation. Its operational examples and product claims reflect the vendor’s account and should not be read as findings from a representative industry survey. Titan Cloud describes a scenario in which disconnected tank, delivery and maintenance records delay recognition of a fuel-quality problem until a customer reports it. The presentation argues that connecting those records can help operators investigate earlier and reduce operational disruption.

  • 01Disconnected data can delay fuel-quality alerts, Titan Cloud says.
  • 02The linked client video is the source for the vendor’s account; its claims are not independent industry benchmarks.
  • 03Operators can request evidence and test the proposed workflow against their own network’s needs before adopting it.

Titan Cloud describes organized fuel theft across multiple sites

Titan Cloud describes organized fuel theft across multiple sites

This article draws on a Titan Cloud presentation. Its operational examples and product claims reflect the vendor’s account and should not be read as findings from a representative industry survey. Michael Lewis, identified in the presentation as leading Titan Cloud’s international solutions consultancy team, describes coordinated fuel-theft scenarios involving multiple sites. His examples include dispenser manipulation, delivery losses and product adulteration. The scale described is the speaker’s account, not a measured industry-wide rate.

  • 01Titan Cloud describes organized fuel theft across multiple sites.
  • 02The Titan Cloud presentation is the source for the vendor’s account; its claims are not independent industry benchmarks.
  • 03Titan Cloud’s presenters argue that detecting coordinated theft and slow leaks depends on more frequent reconciliation and looking for patterns across the network, rather than ranking sites by raw loss volume.

Titan Cloud argues maintenance visibility affects EV charger availability

Titan Cloud argues maintenance visibility affects EV charger availability

Titan Cloud reports that CPOs it spoke with at Intercharge want better connections between charger monitoring, ticketing and field repairs. Its conference observations are a vendor perspective, not an industry-wide survey.

  • 01Titan Cloud argues that connecting fault reports with repair outcomes helps operators track whether chargers have returned to service and improve network operations.
  • 02The linked client video is the source for the vendor’s account; its claims are not independent industry benchmarks.
  • 03Operators can request evidence and test the proposed workflow against their own network’s needs before adopting it.
