Andalay Solar manufactures, distributes and markets highly powerful, highly reliable solar power systems, generating renewable electricity for homes and businesses. Shortly after Andalay was founded in 2001, the company developed technology that makes solar panels more of a “plug and play” appliance instead of complicated collection of components and fasteners. The vision of Andalay’s engineers wa
s that by reducing the number of parts, installation of solar panels could be greatly simplified. Andalay Solar’s patented technology introduces panel-to-panel interconnection system using “splices” that enhances structural integrity, eliminates the need for mounting rails, and provides the electrical grounding connection between solar modules. Electrical assembly is also streamlined by integrating electrical connections directly into the panel frame itself, thereby eliminating manual panel-to-panel wiring. In 2004 Westinghouse Solar filed the Company’s first patent, entitled “Mounting System for a Solar Panel.” Since that date, the company has filed over 30 patent applications in the U.S. In 2012 we introduced INSTANT CONNECT™ - Truly Fully Integrated, Plug-and-Play Solar Panels.
