The ZIGOR SOLAR XTR3 is a three phrase solar inverter. It is responsible for converting the direct current generated by photovoltaic panels into alternating current for injection into the electrical power distribution grid.

The ZIGOR SOLAR XTR3 can be used both to back up consumption and as a system to produce electricity. In the first case, if the electrical power consumption of the location in which the inverter is installed is lower than the power consumed by this unit, excess production is delivered to the grid. If this consumption exceeds production, the energy required to complete the balance is taken from the electricity grid. In the second case, all the power generated by the equipment is injected into the electricity grid. In both cases, the appropriate power measurement systems must be installed for each use.

A Separable Connector, also referred to as a Plug-in is a separable cable termination - designed for opening and closing only when a circuit is de-energized. Neither voltage nor current can be present when this type of Separable Connector is opened or closed. Separable Connectors from 3M offer distinct advantages in comparison to conventional terminations.

Polywater Solar Panel Wash is specially formulated for cleaning all types of solar panels without oxidizing or abrading aluminum rails and mounting apparatus. Many common car-wash soaps and window cleaners contain alkalines that promote oxidation and require a deionized water rinse.

Dust, bird droppings, pollution, pollen, tree sap, plant matter residue, etc., all reduce the overall effectiveness of solar panel generation capacity. A 2011 study by the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology concluded that "accumulated dust on the surface of photovoltaic solar panels can reduce the systems efficiency by up to 50%." Panels must be cleaned regularly to maximize system performance and longevity.

Even if only one panel in a string operates at 10% less than full capacity due to contamination, the entire string suffers the same 10% performance loss. This is known in the industry as the "Christmas-lights effect". The small cost of regular cleaning with Polywater Solar Panel Wash yields big savings by increasing panel capacity.

How to Clean Solar Panel Using Polywater SPW

For best results product should be diluted.

For pressure washers, hose sprayers, etc., dilute 1:25

For persistent soils, use a higher concentration of Solar Panel Wash and a soft cloth or brush to remove any remaining residues. Rinse the panels with 1:25 SPW solution and allow to dry. SPW leaves a clean surface that will dry faster, reduce spotting, and repel soil, making it easier to clean your panels the next time. As an option, rinse surface with water. Observe the condition of the panelsand repeat the process above if necessary.

3M ACCR is a lightweight, thermal expansion product that ensures low sag at high ampacities. ACCR is a unique amalgamation of aluminum matrix core and heat resistant Al-Zr at the outer strands, assuring a strong advantage over other conductors.
ACCR's characteristic includes, strength and durability, better corrosion resistance, high modulus for less stretch, higher electrical conductivity and lower thermal expansion for less sag. This permits the use of higher operating temperatures, which in turn leads to higher ampacities. Both the composite core and the outer Al-Zr strands contribute to the overall conductor robustness and conductivity.
