Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity for example, by using photovoltaics (PV).
Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect.
Photovoltaics were initially solely used as a source of electricity for small and medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell, to remote homes powered by an off-grid rooftop PV system. Commercial concentrated solar power plants were first developed in the 1980s. Since then, as the cost of solar electricity has
fallen, grid-connected solar PV systems’ capacity and production have grown more or less exponentially, doubling about every three years. Millions of installations and gigawatt-scale photovoltaic power stations continue to be built

Wind tunnel research
Testing the limits
In an ongoing effort to lead in technological advancements and deliver high-quality products, Atkore Unistrut’s R&D team uses an advanced wind tunnel to conduct extensive tests on our most innovative products. These experiments are aimed at understanding the interaction between our structures and the forces of wind, providing us with valuable
insights to enhance the performance and reliability of our products.
The insights gained go beyond mere product enhancement. They have provided us with valuable knowledge for designing robust structures and installations in diverse contexts. Our research underscores that thorough analysis, coupled with practical experiments under realistic conditions, crucial for predicting and designing structures that are optimally resistant to wind loads.
This research initiative marks a crucial s tep forward in Atkore Unistrut’s ongoing commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability. Our R&D department remains dedicated to developing pioneering solutions that meet the highest industry standards.
