Being able to quickly adjust to the unexpected is a big part of any construction project, but solar installers have their own unique set of unexpected issues to overcome. With a wide range of solar mounting systems, including ground mounts, roof mounts, pole mounts, and carports, and with over 25 years of solar industry experience, PLP’s engineers and product specialists fully understand the issues faced by installers.

In this Solar Speaks podcast produced by Solar Power World, PLP’s Adam Saidel (Global Product Support Engineer) and Todd Laird (Product Support Specialist) talk about the types of unexpected issues solar installers should anticipate with each new installation and how to best deal with them, both ahead of time and during the actual installation.
