3M and tenKsolar have started a partnership for the improvement of tenKsolar’s RAIS Wave commercial solar array. The RAIS Wave system now features 3M’s Cool Mirror Film 330 reflective material, which the companies state, allows for the system to produce up to 60% more annual energy per square foot of a rooftop installation. 3M recently commissioned a grid-tied 4.5kW RAIS Wave solar array from tenKsolar for installation at 3M’s Cottage Grove facility.
“The tenKsolar innovative module design is well suited for additional solar flux, as well as partial shading,” said 3M’s Business Development Manager for Renewable Energy, Dr. Daniel Chen. “Their complete rooftop system design is a great match for 3M’s Cool Mirror Film 330, which increases power production from a low concentrating solar array.”
