Unirac, a manufacturer with more than 20 years in the solar structures space, is geared and ready to tackle commercial solar projects in 2023. We’re joined by Unirac’s commercial business development director, Ted Bleecker, and director of customer solutions, Brandon Carrasco, to discuss what’s ahead for the company in the coming year.

Today, we’re joined by Daniel Friberg, director of product engineering at Sungrow, to discuss the company’s latest central inverter model and what that will mean for solar array uptime.

The solar carport market is expanding, meaning this high-profile racking is entering new territories.
