Suntech - Unique Two in One PV Panel Design & Easy to Install Mounting Solution- buildaroo.com

SunTech introduced their Reliathon 270-watt module at this year's Solar Power International. Wei-Tai, VP of Marketing for SunTech, spoke with the Buildaroo News Team about this products unique characteristics. Watch the video above to see the modules as well as a demonstration of SunTech's innovative mounting system. Some unique characteristics include:

self-aligning panels, integrated grounding, and wire management, as well as a new "Two-in-One" design, with two 36-cell regions featuring independent circuits that can create better output on fixed tilt systems in early morning and late afternoon. All module innovations result in far less labor time needed to install Reliathon systems as well as significant reductions in material costs.
Array Technologies' DuraTrack(TM) system was designed specifically for Suntech Reliathon, and makes use of two motors per MW AC versus the typical four motors per MW, further reducing the material costs of the system.
The new Suntech Reliathon ground mount system perfectly matches Reliathon modules to deliver fixed tilt solutions at lower cost and greater profitability.
Utility-grade Reliathon module warranty: The Reliathon module includes a 25-year utility-grade warranty offering an industry-leading 12-year limited product warranty (extended from 5 years) and a 25-year peak power performance warranty now based on annual degradation instead of 12 and 25-year step-downs. The new annual peak power performance warranty provides Reliathon module buyers with 13.8% more warranted power over 25 years. Overall, the new terms warrant an industry-leading 85% power output level at 25 years.
Preferential pricing from industry-leading partners: Power plant customers purchasing a Reliathon system will have access to customized Reliathon partner products at preferred pricing and pre-negotiated business terms offered by Advanced Energy, Array Technologies, Satcon, Siemens Industry and SMA, providing greater value over whole system purchase.
Reliathon modules and system components will be available in the United States for immediate orders with shipment scheduled in Q2 2010, and have already been included in over 1GW of US solar project bids.

Sun spots and solar energy systems--does all this solar activity create any kind of risk of overloading a solar energy system?
