High Density PEG Solar Racking for Ground Mount Solar with Matthew Lusk | EP141
Welcome to the Clean Power Hour! When land is scarce and you need to maximize the density of solar panels per acre of ground, there are some unique innovations happening in the racking space. One such product is the PEG high-density solar racking system developed by Jurchen Technology. In episode 141 of the Clean Power Hour podcast, host Tim Montague interviews Matthew Lusk, VP of Business Development at PEG Solar Racking, and discusses their solar panel mounting system, the PEG. Lusk describes the features and benefits of the PEG, including its unique low to the ground, east-west, high-ground cover ration (GCR), accessibility, maintenance, and vegetation management capabilities, as well as its potential for use in brownfield sites and hydrogen production.
Lusk also shares that PEG Solar Racking is working on automating the pile installation process and that they have a working prototype in development. Additionally, Jurchen Technology, a German company with offices in California and India, is advancing the technology to bring it to global markets.
Montague and Lusk also discuss the future of solar energy and how the decreasing cost of solar panels will impact the use of solar trackers versus fixed-tilt systems, with Lusk predicting that the PEG will eventually replace trackers.
Overall, this episode highlights the innovative solutions and collaborations in the solar industry that are advancing sustainable energy and driving progress toward a clean energy future.
