“WEEB Bonding Jumper” Name Change
Wiley Electronics’ product, a braided cable designed to electrically splice two aluminum PV mounting rails, has been re-named the “WEEB Bonding Jumper” to more accurately reflect its function in the system. The WEEB Bonding Jumper uses a tin-plated braided copper cable with stainless steel hardware and patent pending WEEB grounding clips to easily and effectively electrically connect aluminum mounting rails. The flexible cable allows for contraction and expansion of the rails, while the toothed WEEB grounding clips pierce the anodized aluminum, providing a gas tight connection which prevents oxidation, meeting UL467 requirements for bonding/grounding systems. The product had been formerly referred to as a “splice kit”.

Wiley Electronics LLC announces residential and commercial PV Installation services
Wiley Electronics LLC has been approved by the New York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYSERDA) to install systems which qualify for NYSERDA rebate funding. Wiley will be listed on the NYSERDA web site later this year.
Company president, Brian Wiley, says, “While intending to remain an engineering development company, this component of the business will give us valuable experience in current methods of installation. We intend to identify those areas of solar installation which could be improved and simplified to help reduce the cost of solar installations. The right way to do this is to do the installations ourselves. Customers will also benefit by having the latest engineering on their systems. While many installers are trades people with additional training, all installers for Wiley Electronics LLC have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in engineering.“

WEEB inspector education program!
Want $50 off your next order of WEEBs?
We will be developing a list of cities and inspectors where the WEEB has already been installed. This will help inspectors by letting them know other inspectors who have researched the WEEBs and encourage them to share information. It will help installers feel more comfortable using WEEBs in a new area. For the first installer to report an inspector's acceptance, it will result in a tangible, monetary benefit.
So help us and we will show our appreciation.

New Installation Products
Wiley Electronics LLC announced the introduction of three new products for grounding of PV modules and arrays. All three products have been tested according to UL467 and are listed with Intertek, a National Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). The products use patent pending technology for bonding anodized aluminum surfaces together. Bonding solar modules to a mounting structure removes the need to wire the modules separately: just the mounting structure needs to be wired to ground.
The WEEB-9.5 is a washer used to bond the frame of a solar module to a mounting structure. Intended for use with pole and ground mount structures, the WEEB-9.5 has features for retention in any 3/8 inch hole. This allows four WEEB-9.5s to be inserted at the four mounting places for a module with 1/4 inch hardware. When the hardware is tightened, specially designed teeth on the WEEB-9.5 embed into the module and mounting structure, making a gas-tight connection. The WEEB-CL performs a similar function for rail-mounted modules.
Rounding out the product family is the WEEBLug, a two piece set of washer plus lug. The washer has specialized teeth for making connection through an anodized aluminum surface. The lug allows the lay-in connection of wire after the lug has been mounted.

Site Evaluation Tool
Wiley Electronics LLC announces the introduction of the Acme Solar Site Evaluation Tool (ASSET). The ASSET is a modern, photographic method of evaluating the amount of shading at a site. The ASSET consists of custom hardware and software. The hardware allows a precise series of pictures to be taken. The software assembles the pictures into a panoramic image then overlays the path of the sun on the image. The resulting image alone allows easy visualization of those features responsible for shading, but the software also automatically calculates the amount of shading. The ease with which multiple sets of pictures can be taken and analyzed makes it easy to optimize location of a solar array.
The ASSET introductory pricing is $400. The product is currently in beta test for the software. Orders are being accepted now and deliveries will begin November 1st.
