A Catch-22 in the PV Connector Industry?
PV connectors are part of a system, and how well they connect and disconnect along with the ease of assembly & installation is important to installers. Electrical standards for PV connectors have been established through the National Electric Code (NEC) and UL. However no design and/or contact standards exist. The ‘defacto' standard has not been uniformly accepted by manufacturers. The need for compatibility and interchangeability is clear.
Contractors utilize new technologies to provide Solar Installations
Many roofing contractors see the importance that solar will play in their future business but realize they don't necessarily have the expertise required to offer solar.
