PLP

We could get used to this view. In partnership with FulcrumAir, the world's first robotic installation of PLP Twinlok spacers was recently completed in Australia for the Yurika Clarke Creek Wind Farm project. Special thanks to everyone involved in this project. A safer, more innovative future for electric utilities and contractors is coming to a power line near you. #robotics #electricpower #innovation

PLP solar mounting + Minnesota dairy cows = the largest agrivoltaic installation in the U.S. Midwest. Agrivoltaics combines solar energy generation with shade for livestock and crops to produce higher yields and diversify farmers' incomes. The University of Minnesota is leading the charge with extensive research and support for this new concept, and we are excited to be a part of their latest installation at the University of Minnesota Morris campus. #RenewableEnergy #Solar #Agriculture
