Phoenix Solar Completes Project for Dow Corning
Phoenix Solar and Dow Corning Corporation today jointly announced the completion of a solar installation at Dow Corning’s world headquarters and for both companies to collaborate on efforts to commercialize a total solution using Dow Corning’s structural adhesives.
The adhesives, which replace the metal clamps, clips and bolts typically used to secure photovoltaic (PV) modules to mounting rails, have the potential to accelerate the adoption of solar energy by using automation to lower material and labor costs and reduce installation time in the building of solar plants.
Under terms of the agreement, Phoenix Solar has designed, installed and delivered a proof-of-concept installation and a 23-kilowatt demonstration grid-tied plant on the grounds of Dow Corning’s corporate headquarters. The two companies will continue to pursue future opportunities for solar projects, both within the North American market and internationally.
