Solar power
Solar panels and their mounting structures remain exposed to the elements for several decades, with no respite from the environment. Hutchinson brings to this market expertise in sealing and vibration isolation developed for renewable energy applications.

Precision Sealing
A junction box or connector exposed to water ingress can quickly lose reliability. Our seals protect these components, with properties designed to withstand decades of UV exposure.
Sealing & Profiles
The connection between solar panels and their supporting structures, whether installed on rooftops or on the ground, must remain watertight to protect the supporting structure. Our profiles maintain this sealing performance throughout the installation's service life.
Acoustics & Vibration
Wind continuously places loads on the supporting structures of solar installations, creating a risk of fatigue at mounting points. Our anti-vibration solutions protect these structures.
Sensors / Detection & Measurement / Encoders
Solar panel efficiency depends directly on its orientation towards the sun throughout the day. Our position sensors control this orientation on motorised tracking systems.
Protection, Safety & Structure
On a large ground-mounted installation, precise alignment of each panel starts with accurate positioning of its supporting structure. Our levelling systems ensure this alignment.
