Flux Connectivity Inc. announced its inauguration of ReliaCrimp, a proprietary quality control process that strives to raise the industry bar for high reliability at utility-scale solar power plants. By addressing the prevalent and critical risks associated with solar connection failures, the industry-first 5-core quality approach to PV harness manufacturing enables the next generation of piece of mind for project owners and installers alike.
Overheating and burnt solar connectors account for the second highest rate of long-term technical system failures at PV power plants. This outcome primarily derives from inconsistencies in electrical assembly taking place on-site and in semi-controlled environments. The resulting system failures stem from electrical losses as well as fires, leading to safety hazards, insurance claims and overall reduced ROI. The new ReliaCrimp™ standard combats this high cost of failure with proprietary automated assembly processes as well as crimp detection technologies that include terminal tracing, measurable crimp width & height inspections, compaction analysis and pull-force testing. This advanced program incorporates wire processing standards that are typically found in mission critical industries.
The company plans to present the gold-standard solution to various North American leaders in the renewable energy space during Q2 22′, educating segments of the market and rolling out in multiple geographical theatres. With the high potential growth of renewable technologies, Flux forecasts opportunities to scale as it strategically positions itself with authoritative solutions and thought leadership.
