Henrob's principal activity is designing and manufacturing self-piercing rivets (HSPR) and installation systems. Self-pierce riveting is a process of joining two or more layers using an engineered rivet. Unlike conventional riveting, HSPR does not require a drilled or punched hole.

Optimizing solar thermal performance with data loggers

10/27/11, 12:14 PM | Solar Power | Hot Water Heating

By measuring and monitoring solar thermal system performance, installers can correct mistakes and fine-tune and optimize systems. As a result, US consumers are likely to regain confidence in the technology, spurring what is expected to be a burgeoning market for solar hot water heaters.

MicroCSP (Concentrated Solar Power)

10/27/11, 12:13 PM | Solar Power | Solar Energy

MicroCSP power projects all include sun tracker and thermal storage. The cost is around the same as PV but you generate more electricity per day because of the tracker/storage combination so you have a lower cost of energy.

Weathering the Storm: Fluoropolymer films protect solar modules and ensure performance

10/27/11, 12:13 PM | Solar Power | Technology Discussions

Recent advances in materials science have led to the development of innovative new materials that provide enhanced durability to photovoltaic modules. Unique polymeric thin film technologies, such as ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) frontsheets, provide modules with the protection they need to perform at high levels even when exposed to the elements.

LEED Standards and the Global Carbon Market
