GameChange Solar, a global provider of solar tracker and fixed-tilt racking solutions, has engineered a rivet connection option for module mounting on its Genius Tracker system. This solution provides EPCs and project owners with an alternative to traditional bolted module connections.
“By integrating rivet-mounted modules into our Genius Tracker system, we are providing customers with greater flexibility in how they build and maintain solar projects,” said Vaibhav Joshi, managing director, Oceania and SEA at GameChange Solar. “This innovation allows for streamlined installation and long-term reliability, making solar deployment even more efficient.”
While most PV projects use bolted connections between the racking system and modules, rivets can be connected without using torque onto pre-punched module mounting holes. Per testing at Intertek and GameChange Solar’s Research and Design Facility, the two-piece rivet is compliant with the applicable sections of the UL 2703 standard. Additionally, in-house testing at the company’s installation training center evaluated installation and removal tools, providing insights into field deployment.
