The Cost of Doing Nothing
What One Storm Can Do to a Solar Array
Hail and wind can shatter panel glass, crack cells and shut down production. Owners are left with repair bills, lost power and insurance claims.
On Track Solar Systems is developing a factory-integrated storm protection system for solar panels, built on the same logic that made hurricane protection standard in Florida after Andrew. Based in Saint Cloud, Florida.
Hail and wind can shatter panel glass, crack cells and shut down production. Owners are left with repair bills, lost power and insurance claims.
A factory-integrated storm protection system for solar panels, developed so a protective cover can go on quickly before severe weather and come off afterward. Design details are shared with qualified partners under NDA.
Protection is designed into the panel at manufacturing, with a retrofit path for panels already on roofs.
When severe weather is forecast, a protective cover goes on ahead of it.
Designed to target UL 2218 Class 4 hail impact performance. Third-party testing is planned.
After the storm, the cover comes off and the system goes back to generating.
A factory-integrated protection feature, specified for each array to fit how the system is laid out.
A path for existing panels, designed to install without drilling or permanent modification.
Aluminum cover custom-sized to each panel. Target certification: UL 2218 Class 4 and FM 4473 Class 4.
UV-stabilized clear cover designed for high light transmission, so panels can keep producing power while protected.
Designed for snow load and extreme cold climates. Target: ASCE 7-22 snow certification.
An automated deployment option for customers who want protection without lifting a finger. Details available to qualified partners under NDA.
After Hurricane Andrew in 1992, Florida changed what every new home had to withstand. We believe solar panels are heading in the same direction, and we are building the protection before the requirement arrives.
"Protection became standard for windows once codes required it. We are building the answer for solar before that day comes."
Insurers and building officials are paying closer attention to hail and wind losses on solar. On Track Solar Systems is positioning to be ready when protection moves from optional to expected, starting in Florida, our home base.
On Track Solar Systems is in R&D and pre-commercialization. We are developing our storm protection system ahead of the requirement, and we are opening conversations with qualified investors and manufacturing partners.
The technical specification and business plan are available to qualified parties after a signed NDA.
