Solarlytics<\/b>\n is a 5-year-old startup in Livermore, California that specializes in improving the output of existing in-place solar panels. The company is developing a new technology that provides a significant uplift in solar energy output from existing solar panel infrastructure. It is working toward developing a product for the market and is currently engaged in research, testing, and product engineering.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n THE CHALLENGE OF DEVELOPING COMPLEX TEST RIGS FOR SOLAR<\/span>\n <\/h4>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n\n

The process of loading oddly-shaped and heavy (80+lbs) solar panels onto a testing rig is both awkward and labor-intensive.\u00a0<\/span>\nPreviously, this process required multiple personnel and lots of space for testing to take place. There was also the risk of damaging and scratching the solar panel by dragging it to and from the flash test machine. <\/span><\/p>\n

Co-founder Doug Raymond and his team started out with cheaper desktop 3D printers, but quickly found the trial and error of calibration and reprinting to be extremely time-intensive and frustrating. Complex assemblies with tight tolerances were nearly impossible to print. The alternative of outsourcing for the part could cost up to $10,000, a price that would not allow for multiple iterations.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n ITERATIVE DESIGN WITH 3D PRINTING<\/span>\n <\/h4>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n\n

In early 2019, the team invested in a MakerBot METHOD 3D printer based on its ability to print complex geometries with dissolvable support material.<\/span><\/p>\n

Says Doug Raymond, engineer and co-founder of Solarlytics, \u201cThe beauty of the METHOD is [that] you start the print at the end of Friday and when you\u2019re back in the office [on Monday], it\u2019s completely printed. The METHOD is a step above other 3D printers we\u2019ve used.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After their initial success with METHOD, Doug\u2019s team invested in a second printer, this time opting for the METHOD X Manufacturing Workstation, which had the ability to print higher-temp materials such as ABS and, more interestingly, ASA \u2013 a UV-resistant form of ABS. Using the METHOD, Solarlytics\u2019<\/span> engineers can create the drawing in the CAD system, send it to the printer, and execute a perfect print in one round, instead of three or four attempts.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n\n

The wheel clamp assembly Solarlytics engineers designed and manufactured on METHOD allows a single person to roll the solar panel onto the flash test machine, easily position it, and perform testing. It prevents having to drag and possibly scratch or damage the solar panel and requires much less space, protecting the equipment and the system.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ability to print with Stratasys\u00ae SR-30 soluble supports allowed Solarlytics engineers to design the wheel clamp assembly as one complex part, which would have been impossible to machine because of its internal bearings and pivot point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
