Conventional methods of mounting solar arrays are tedious, time-consuming and leave systems prone to theft with standard tools. By streamlining the traditional solar panel array into a sleek and secure system, Trinamount makes solar power an easier choice for your family and business than ever before.

What sets Trinamount apart is the groove on Trinamount module frames. This design innovation allows solar modules to be connected directly to other modules, mounting hardware, grounding devices, and aesthetic accessories. Fewer parts are needed, and installation is as easy as dropping a module in and doing quarter-turns into place. Costs are lower, installation is faster and the result is more attractive.

Fast and Easy Installations – One click and it’s done.

By getting rid of the two-rail system, Trinamount systems can be installed up to 5 times faster. Only a few basic lines need to be laid out and components simply drop in and twist into place using dedicated, theft-resistant tooling.

Trinamount modules can also be individually rotated and PV arrays can be easily levelled so it is simple to create a clean-looking array on even imperfect surfaces without time-consuming shimming of modules.

SunGEL batteries from Battery Energy using revolutionary SuperGEL long life plate technology has been designed specifically for solar applications. Solar batteries are traditionally hard working batteries and are usually cycled on a daily basis as part of a primary power source of electricity where no grid power is available.

When the CSIRO and Battery Energy developed SuperGEL technology, they focused on developing a product with superior life characteristics. Although the SuperGEL battery technology is based on previous gel technology, it uses unique chemical and molecular characteristics and differentiated production techniques from regular gel batteries.The superior characteristics of SunGEL batteries have been tested and verified by the CSIRO in a number of independent tests, the results proving the superiority of SunGEL batteries under the most extreme test conditions. It typically outperforms other gel batteries by a factor of between 2 and 3, subject to application.Solar applications are often remotely located and installed in the most extreme environmental conditions. To deliver a reliable service with a long operating life requires a unique blend of physical, structural and chemical characteristics. For this reason SunGEL is possibly the world’s best solar battery.

Concorde has been supplying the solar and wind industry since 1987, providing products with excellent performance and reliability. The SUN~XTENDER range of batteries from Concorde Battery Corporation has been developed for use in renewable energy applications where long life, deep cycle, low internal resistance, superior charge acceptance and energy density are required.

SUN~XTENDER SUN~XTENDER batteries use Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery technology, where the electrolyte remains liquid and is absorbed (suspended) in a micro fibrous glass mat. Some other batteries use a gel, which is a highly viscous (semi-solid) silica gel/electrolyte mixture. The SUN~XTENDER batteries outperform gel batteries by reducing the time required for recharging. This is the result of reduced electrolyte viscosity resulting in faster gas recombination. Additionally, the tightly packed plate construction provides a very high degree of shock and vibration resistance, making the product ideal for mobile applications.
