Origami Solar’s Steel PV Module Frame Outperforms Aluminum, New Report Confirms
Independent testing by TECSI Solar, a world-class testing and engineering firm, has confirmed the superior strength of Origami Solar steel module frame protects the solar active components better than conventional aluminum frames. The testing compared a 35mm tall Origami steel frame against a 40mm aluminum frame under identical conditions and using identical PV laminates. In all tests our steel frame met or exceeded UL/IEC requirements and delivered superior results over aluminum frames.

Our Energy Transition Starts with Renewable Energy Independence
We can’t have an energy transition in this country or the world without first solving for our energy security! If energy security is the goal, as it ought to be, then reducing fossil fuel consumption is only half the equation. Rebuilding our domestic solar supply chain to meet our rapidly growing needs is the other. Once the US can meet demand with renewable energy products from domestic factories, the energy transition and the fight against climate change will once again be in our control, where it must be. It is remarkable to see the wave of investments in domestic manufacturing the Inflation Reduction Act has triggered here. We are ready to support these factories with our proven steel module frames.
