Mounting Clamps

What are Solar Module Clamps?
Solar Module Clamps are small metallic mounting clamps that are attached to keep the panels in place. These clamps are generally made of aluminum and other rust proof metals.
Where are Module Clamps used?
Module Clamps are used to hold the Solar panels attached to the rails and metallic frames. Solar panels are connected in a series to induce a high voltage in the circuit. The panels are held together joined by the frames. Clamps are sturdy and light to stand the environmental factors like extreme heat and cold.
Properties Module Clamps
Module Clamps are manufactured to be compatible with various types of panels in the big Solar panel market. The biggest factor in manufacturing is the property of being rust-proof. These clamps stay in the sun every day taking the heat for long hours. Heat and moisture can affect the surface by the action of oxidation which can lead to rusting.

Rust Proof material: Clamp materials like aluminum are rustproof and lightweight
Smooth surface:  Smooth surface makes these clamps seamless on the panels and look clean.
Lightweight: Clamps need to be lightweight in case of large Solar Plants, so that movement is easy with the help of cranes and mounting equipment.
Standard: Clamps are produced in one standard size so that they can be used with any shape and installation configuration.

How do Module Clamps work?
Module Clamps range from 25 mm in size to 50 mm. All the clamps come in pairs with the screws and bolts. Screws hold the rails tightened with the brackets, and the bracket keeps the panel fixed.   
What are the big brands of Solar Module Clamps?
All these brands specialize in mounting brackets and clamps. Mounting clamps manufactured are either stainless steel or aluminum.

Wholesalers

Solar Products Wholesalers 

Wholesaling refers to buying some products or goods directly from its manufacturer usually at a discount and then reselling it to the retailers for a comparatively higher cost than the original. Basically, wholesalers handle products and package them in small quantities and then sell them to retail customers, either for commercial or personal use. 

Many industries have wholesalers, and that will not skip the solar industries. Nowadays, many solar wholesale stores/firms are operating across the globe, making it much easier for retailers to go solar. Sometimes retailers find it hard to reach direct manufacturers of solar products because some companies do not have their solar stores/shops in public, with that they are not also offering solar products per piece. Through wholesale solar stores/shops, these individuals can easily buy the solar products that they need to replace or maintain their solar systems. 

If you are in need of solar product suppliers for an individual purpose, you may visit some solar outsourcing marketplace to get an updated list of solar wholesalers near your location. There are many solar platforms that provide enough information and data about the solar industry in your region, including all the reliable solar wholesalers in town.

Kenya

Solar Market Outlook in Kenya

There is an ongoing debate in Kenya’s energy sector because of the growing shift towards solar energy. The leading electricity distributor in Kenya has cited a decrease in revenue as more consumers and businesses are shifting towards solar power.

The proponents of solar energy continue to champion the benefits of this renewable energy source and consumers are shifting to solar power generation, which continues to eat further into the traditional electric distributors’ profits. The high cost of electricity and taxes are the primary motivation to consider renewable energy as an alternative source. As of now, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority in Kenya has reported that solar energy accounts for 1% of the country’s current electricity mix. And yet, the country’s location in the equatorial zone means that it has high potential for solar energy. Solar is, therefore, looked at as a viable energy source and as part of the effort to achieve carbon emission goals. Despite having the highest exposure to the sun, Kenya is the most underdeveloped in terms of solar PV capacity. The wider adoption of solar energy will require education and training to succeed. 

Solar Energy Equipment Supply Capacity in Kenya

There is a lack of domestic suppliers and distributors of solar power equipment. They rely on the importation of these supplies from global and online suppliers and distributors. 

Top  Major Seaports & Logistics in Kenya

There are plenty of commercial ports in Kenya wherein solar equipment can be transported. Some of them include

• the Port of Shimoni,
• Kilindini Harbor,
• Port Tudor,
• Port Reitz, Port of Kiunga,
• Port of Lamu,
• Port of Mombasa, 
• Port of Mbaraki.
