Solar Under Storm III: Updated best practices for resilient ground-mount PV systems with hurricane exposure
The report identifies critical failure modes in ground-mount solar PV systems exposed to extreme winds, such as the failure of top-down clamps and low-cycle fatigue in module frames. It recommends high-load modules (4,000 Pa uplift), through-bolting with specialized washers, and dual-post foundation designs to improve survivability in hurricane-prone regions.

ComAp – Sustainable & resilient power for a remote island (The Grenadines)
Completed in May 2022, a project on Mayreau Island utilized ComAp's InteliSys NTC Hybrid system to operationalize a previously dormant hybrid microgrid consisting of photovoltaics (PV), a 100 kW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and four diesel generators. The system allows for the maximization of solar energy and the shutdown of diesel generators under certain conditions, reducing fuel costs and noise pollution for the local community.
