The persistent PV connector problem

HelioVolta found that PV connectors in the field are still a real problem re system failure in C&I solar. They found that 83% of projects inspected had at least one connector-related issue. But most issue are avoidable. Issues are largely due to inter-mating, exposure to the elements, and under or over-torquing. Also EPC and O&M field teams need better tools, training, and documentation methods and systems need third-party inspections of connectors.
