UV-Protected Cable Ties Offer Durability
Heyco Products has launched a line of solar-specific SunBundler
cable ties, designed to handle cable bundles from 2. 3 inches ( 5. 8
cm) to 4. 20 inches ( 10. 7 cm) in diameter. For long-term durability they’re constructed of aircraft-grade stainless wire, with a
UV-protected vinyl jacket to prevent damage to cable insulation.

Cooper Bussmann Protects
PV Systems from Surges

prewired DIN-rail-mount SPDs feature a module-to-base
locking facility. An integrated fuse link allows safe module
replacement on live systems without arcing. The product
meets UL 1449 (3rd edition) and IEC 60364-7-712. Indicator
flags show module protective status (green = good, red =
replace). www.cooperbussmann.com/surge
Solar Thermal Pump Stations
Heavy-duty commercial solar pump stations from Free
Hot Water integrate major functionality and safety components into one compact, pre-assembled, pre-engi-neered, high-quality unit. The company will calculate the

pressure loss in pipes, valves, fittings and heat exchangers. freehotwater.com
Pyranometer Tilt Kit
Kipp & Zonen now offers an accessory to tilt a CMP pyranometer to
match the pitch of the array. The Adjustable Tilt CMP Mounting Kit
allows a monitoring system to read the energy available within the
