Solar Collector Module

Project Summary

These Solar Collector Modules are made from color matched weatherable ABS, designed to withstand UV light and provide impact protection in harsh outdoor environments. As part of a precision assembly, this project required a high amount of detail and precision, and each module was created with extremely close tolerances.

The modules were molded over a male aluminum thermoform tool, and designed to nest to enable low-cost, high-volume shipping all over the world.

The rib details on the module’s sidewall are a design addition that provides additional strength and rigidity, allowing the modules to be produced from a lighter weight, lower-cost gauge of plastic without sacrificing strength.
