CEO Talk: The market for mounting systems is tough. Competition is fierce and price pressure is high. Manufacturers including K2 Systems are responding with smart innovations. But who – or what – is KAI? And what's behind the motto ‘From Base to Peak’? Let’s find out!
PV Guided Tours: Solar canopies for vines, fruit and berry plantations serve to protect growing fruit from harsh weather and environmental conditions. In most cases, however, the grapevines, the bushes and trees are already firmly rooted in the ground. Mo Horowitz, COO of Solargik, shows how this can be achieved without interrupting agricultural operations – even on slopes.
This free webinar explores the planning of photovoltaic systems for both simple and complex sites, and outlines the design of suitable project tenders. The experts at K2 Systems also reveal their tips and tricks for optimal system design. The video is available to watch now.
