Do you have solar or other alternative energy equipment that you need to protect from UV degradation and other environmental hazards? Find out why Nexteer Automotive chose Stahlin Non-Metallic enclosures for their solar control component application in their Enclosures Alternative Case Study.

Excerpt:

Global automotive supplier, Nexteer Automotive, was committed to expanding into the alternative energy market by applying its advanced electronic power-steering technology and manufacturing expertise to the design and development of the SunSteer™ solar tracking actuator. Actuators track the sun across the sky and make sure that solar panels automatically follow at an optimum angle.

SunSteer™ components are manufactured to precise tolerances using state of the art materials and processes designed to meet stringent standards (ASTM, SAE, TS16949, MIL, and ISO). Under normal operating conditions, SunSteer™ will accurately track the sun to +/- 1.0 degree while consuming less than $2.00 of energy per year. To ensure optimum performance and reliability, a major element in this product challenge was to ensure that sensitive controls were well-protected from diverse and potentially-damaging environmental factors.
