Thornova Solar, a US-based solar module manufacturer, has launched composite frame modules designed for extreme environmental conditions. According to Thornova Solar, the frames are made from fiberglass, polyurethane, and anti-UV coatings to resist corrosion, rust, and chemical exposure. The company said the frames can withstand wind loads up to 3000 Pa and snow loads up to 7000 Pa. As per Thornova Solar, the design eliminates grounding requirements, which simplifies installation and lowers system costs. The modules are also engineered to reduce Potential Induced Degradation (PID), supporting consistent long-term energy output. Thornova Solar stated that the new modules are being deployed in coastal, offshore, and high-salinity regions. The composite frame modules are available in black finish, with additional color options offered upon request based on site or project needs.
