Staying on top of industry trends, Topaz is excited to launch their innovative new Insulated Bonding Bushings, ideal for solar photovoltaic applications.
Developed specifically for the growing solar industry, these bushings are designed to be corrosion resistant, offer a UV-resistant plastic liner to withstand harsh rooftop conditions, and protect wires from high winds. In addition, the tin-plated copper lay-in grounding lug can be used for bonding a jumper wire to a neutral bus bar.
Michael Balsamo, Topaz VP of Product Management, said, “As the solar industry has grown in recent years, we have found the opportunity to create an exclusive product to meet the needs of solar industry contractors. We are happy to be the first in the market to offer fittings that do not have to be modified to fit the very specific demands of rooftop installations.”
Shane Reed of Sun Tribe Solar was one of the first contractors to try Topaz’s Insulated Bonding Bushings. He said, “The ability to purchase a listed product that is manufactured specifically for this application will provide an enormous labor-saving benefit to electrical contractors performing solar work. Additionally, solar developers and asset owners can have confidence that Topaz’s bushings provide a reliable grounding system.”
