Sollega is a member of the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA). SEPA is an educational non-profit organization dedicated to helping utilities integrate solar power into their energy portfolios. SEPA provides utility solar market intelligence, information about technologies and business models, and peer-to-peer interaction. SEPA also hosts national solar exhibitions like Solar Power International and PV America.
CPP performs wind tunnel testing, computer simulations, and technical analyses. As a worldwide wind engineering consultancy with roots dating back to the beginning of modern wind engineering, CPP’s founders and leaders are some of the world's most experienced wind engineers. CPP has conducted wind tunnel testing on the Sollega InstaRack system.
The Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (SATOP) is a NASA funded program designed to provide technical assistance and speed the transfer of space technology to the private sector. Sollega worked with NASA SATOP engineers to develop a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model of the wind forces on rooftops with solar panels, parapets, and air conditioners to simulate the dynamic interactions between the wind and the rooftop elements. The results of this study helped us develop our proprietary in-house ballast calculator that optimizes weight and safety.
