Nclave has developed and patented an innovative module mounting design that reduces both material and installation costs for framed modules.

Main characteristics:

  • Lightweight, 30% less than short purlin (19’)
  • Reduced parts and pieces
  • Combined purlin and module attachment hardware
  • UL-compliant integrated grounding features
  • Load tested to ASTM standard

 

 

Nclave Clamp
Nclave’s module mounting system is designed for ease of installation by separating tracker assembly skills, hardware, and tools from the module assembly process. The purling clamp system is pre-assembled on the tracker so modules can be installed with only a nut driver. This result in industry leading efficiency and lowest cost module installation.

Benefit:

  1. Module installation independent from tracker assembly
  2. No hardware during module installation
  3. Nut driver only tool for module installation
  4. Minimized man-hours for module installation with a reduction up to 70%

Nclave Clamp

Material

  • Reduced number of parts and pieces in one step
  • Clamp pre-assembled to eliminate hardware from module install

Tracker assembly

  • Purlin and clamp assembled in one step
  • Clamp pre-assembled to eliminate hardware from module install
 

Module installation

  • Nut driver only tool
  • Fewest man-hours per MWp
 
Compared to traditional solutions, the new Nclave Clamp reduces assembly time of modules by more than 70%. It also lessens the weight of the material by more than 30%.
