When weather gets gnarly, the solar panels can fly, the racking can be destroyed, and the powerplant might actually die. But never fear, Azimuth Advisory Services is here to help prevent climate chaos from getting the best of your solar and storage projects. In this episode of the Clean Power Hour, we take a deep dive with two expert advisors, Frank Oudheusden and Chris Needham, principals at Azimuth Advisory Services. They bring decades of expertise in solar racking to the discussion. Listen, and learn and you too can avoid the havoc and technical failures that nature can impose on solar farms.

Frank and Chris share insights into the complexities of ensuring structural integrity, especially under the increasing threats posed by extreme weather like hurricanes, hailstorms and tornadoes. They discuss the nuances of due diligence, preventative strategies, and real-world case studies that underline the importance of getting it right the first time. Whether you’re a solar developer, investor, or enthusiast, this episode offers actionable advice and a behind-the-scenes look at the industry’s technical backbone.

By understanding the interplay between design choices and environmental factors, stakeholders can make informed decisions that enhance the resilience and efficiency of their solar assets.
