This is a question we've been asked and want to share our take to those
of you examining your ecommerce strategy. The bottom line is we don’t
see Google search or AI changes affecting electrical distributor
eCommerce much at all. First, as we’ve been communicating all year, most
large project business originates within a contractor’s estimating software and this is where many distributors do most of their business.

This Issue's Question: Who introduced their Introduces Feature-Rich DLM 0-10V Dimming Room Controller? New Inverters Enable Cleaner Energy Harvest Chuck Ross 
Solar power seems to get the most attention at its smallest and largest
scales – we hear a great deal about residential rooftop systems and the
largest utility-scale arrays, but not nearly as much about what falls in
the middle. That may be changing quickly, as “community” solar projects
now are taking hold in many U.S. states. Often in the 1 megawatt (MW)
to 2 MW size range, these arrays of photovoltaic (PV) panels provide an
opportunity for renters and others lacking their own rooftops to invest
in solar-powered electricity generation at sites that make sense for a
local utility’s distribution grid.
Cable Trays Save Time and Money Steve Maurer, IME 
There are several ways to get your wire or cable from the source to the
load or end termination. Two familiar types are conduits and enclosed
raceways. Conduits come in various materials, such as aluminum, PVC and
stainless steel. They can be either rigid, as is the case with EMT, or
flexible in both water-resistant and non-water resistant construction.
New Approaches Helping to Lower Costs for Large-Scale Solar Chuck Ross 
Solar-photovoltaic (PV) installations sized 5 megawatts (MW) and above
are often called “utility scale,” but such projects also might be
installed for large corporate clients, such as Apple, Google and others
seeking to green their operations and provide a hedge against future
electricity price hikes. The scale of such systems can make them more
efficient to operate than rooftop panels or community-sized solar
gardens, but upfront construction costs can be very expensive, due to
the shear volume of equipment they require.
