Test a CB-Series Buoy Solar Tower
Due to prolonged submersion, corrosion, UV exposure, or physical damage, a CB-Series buoy solar tower may need to be manually tested to confirm proper functionality. This testing process applies to all CB-Series buoy solar towers from the CB-150 up to the CB-1250. If a panel or entire tower is found to be faulty, contact NexSens […]
