HOW DO OUR PLASTIC FASTENERS MEET THE NEEDS OF THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR?

In the photovoltaic and wind energy sectors, installations require precise and durable fastening solutions. Our products are specifically designed to simplify assembly while ensuring the reliability of joints. They also help improve equipment efficiency while optimizing maintenance comfort.

Our plastic or metal-plastic fasteners are perfectly suited to the specific challenges of the sector, whether for securing panels or temporary assemblies, organizing cables, or designing efficient opening and closing mechanisms.

Robust Fasteners and Cable Routing in Solar Applications

In photovoltaic systems, external metal panels must be securely fastened, often in environments subject to vibration and temperature fluctuations. Edge mounted Cable Clamp provide an ideal solution, ensuring a strong assembly while simplifying the installation process.

Thanks to their smart design, these clips attach directly to the edge of sheet metal without drilling or complex tools. In addition, they offer a robust hold: non-removable metal fasteners combined with a plastic clip that allows quick disassembly or readjustment when required. Available for various sheet thicknesses, they can be installed rapidly.
These clips keep cables in place, reducing the risk of vibration, wear, or damage caused by temperature variations and continuous system operation. This solution ensures reliable, well-protected cabling for long-term performance.

They can be combined with a cable tie or strap for a non-removable solution.

Use case: assembly application for a market leader in photovoltaic roofing. Edge clips for a 10 mm cable diameter allow routing of two 5 mm cables in a loop configuration.

Assembly of Various Panels in Solar Applications

For assembling insulating panels, protective covers, tarpaulins, or similar components,  fir-tree clips are an economical and easy-to-install alternative in photovoltaic applications.

Thanks to the option of manufacturing them in UV-stabilized polyamide, we guarantee extended service life when used directly under sunlight and exposed to weather conditions.

With ranges covering drilling diameters from 3.0 mm to 12 mm, we can meet a wide variety of applications. Today, one of our customers uses a fir-tree clip to add a rigid rubber damping strip before anchoring and ballasting structures on flat building rooftops. This solution allows fast and cost-effective pre-assembly.

Applications in Wind Energy

Certain control panels in renewable energy production systems require panels to be mounted and removed quickly. Screw rivets(or rivis) allow access to control enclosures simply by unscrewing, ensuring precise and fast maintenance of wind turbines.

Available in several drilling diameters and for various total panel thicknesses, they are easy to install by tapping with a mallet or hammer, and can be removed using a standard Phillips screwdriver found in any maintenance toolkit.

They are economical and robust, making them perfectly suited to this type of application.
