CAB Solar unveils ModulAir hail stow hanger system
Aboveground cable management provider CAB Solar has introduced a new cable management system to pair with hail stow solar tracker systems. The company’s new ModulAir Hail Stow Hanger System solution is now available for utility-scale solar projects.
The system was designed to “complement the steeper angles required to decrease the potential for weather-related module damage,” said Beth Burkett, product development and engineering department manager for CAB Solar.
“The hangers and hardware were designed and tested in collaboration with top tracker manufacturer’s new designs in mind,” Burkett said.
Sourced and manufactured in the United States, the newly designed system was inspired by the company’s free-air solution, ModulAir, and developed for compatibility with the increased, steep tilt of any hail stow tracker system. The ModulAir Hail Stow Hanger System also can be used with CAB Solar’s patented cable management system with intergrated grounding.
The new system optimizes the limited space available for cable management in hail stow tracker systems. The hangers, made from galvanized steel with a custom-designed coating, come in two sizes for various cabling and are scalable per a project’s requirements.
With countless customizing opportunities available, project managers, engineers and installers will find this system ideal. The specially designed bracket easily integrates with the damper arm bracket, allowing the mid-pier kit to attach to a pier. This tapered system enhances the clearance window for cable management.
