The solar energy market in Brazil has seen significant growth in innovations introduced to the sector. One example of this advancement is ARaymond’s PowAR Slot ® clips for framed modules – used at Fazenda Bom Retiro, located in Pirassununga (SP), with an installed capacity of 3,3 MW.
According to the company, the technology eliminates the need for screws and nuts, enabling quick installation without the need for specific tools, such as a screwdriver to adjust the torque, simply fitting the panel to the fixing clamp.
Since February 2024, the solar plant, designed by Turin Energia and implemented by EPCista Reserva Energia, has generated 5,2 GWh of electricity annually, occupying an area of five hectares. The plant is equipped with 5.780 panels, totaling an investment of R$ 11 million.

According to Fernando Labes, director of Turin, PowAR Slot ® – which can be applied to various types of systems, such as ground, roof and floating – is fitted instead of screwed, which speeds up installation and already performs the grounding function. In addition, it makes maintenance easier and is more durable, essential features for the efficiency and longevity of plants, especially in adverse weather conditions.
Another advantage of the clip is that it already guarantees the grounding of the panels. When fitting the photovoltaic module to the clip, the anodizing layer is broken, allowing direct contact with the aluminum.
Furthermore, the product has a low maintenance rate, since it eliminates the need for torque maintenance over time and, by fixing the modules from below, it reduces the risk of damage to the cells, avoiding possible hotspots. The equipment is certified by SERMA TECHNOLOGIES in accordance with the IEC 61215 – 2016 standard.
“The quality of ARaymond PowAR Slot ® clips is an important differentiator, as they not only speed up the installation process, but also ensure greater durability and reduced maintenance requirements. This results in time and labor savings, as well as greater safety for photovoltaic systems,” highlighted Rafael Ávila, account manager for the Energy segment at ARaymond Brasil.
