Get The Job Done Right The First Time
Residential Wire Management
You do all you can to manage the hard costs for a PV system. But inferior labels, low-quality parts and unapproved wire
management result in unnecessary truck rolls, rework, repeat inspections, replacement parts and labor. The hidden costs are
several times greater than the cost of correct wire management.
Through surveys of solar installers and solar engineers, HellermannTyton learned what concerned them most about residential
solar installations.
• Most solar engineers believe quality and life expectancy of solar wire management are of utmost importance.
• For solar installers, getting the job done right the first time is most important.
While other key factors – such as safety and code compliance – broke the top five for these groups, solar pros appear to align
on what's most important. Quality components and a quality installation are what really matter.
Match materials to the application; consider temperature extremes, water ingress, sharp edges, etc. Using high quality, highly
engineered fasteners and routing products can reduce the number of parts on a PV system. They also last longer and help to
eliminate risks versus inferior products.
