The benefits of Crane’s torque solutions

Ensuring the correct fastener torque during solar panel installation offers a range of key benefits, including:

Installation efficiency, quality and accuracy

Maximises safety and longevity

Reduces the chance of any unnecessary costs

Time-saving solutions

Complete traceability

Properly applied torque ensures that fasteners maintain the required clamping force to hold components securely in place. Over-tightening can cause material damage, deformation, or even compromise the structural integrity of mounting systems. On the other hand, under-tightening can result in loose fasteners, which leads to safety risks, such as panel misalignment, potential system failure, and costly repairs. Ultimately, this could have seriously dangerous and high-cost consequences.

Crane’s precision torque measurement solutions empower installers to achieve consistent and accurate fastening, safeguarding solar installations against these issues and ensuring they deliver optimal performance, reliability, and durability for years to come.
