Cap-Rack™ DB

The Cap-Rack™ DB Ground Mount System is specifically designed for shallow landfill and rocky soils where minimal penetration is needed.

The Cap-Rack™ Driven Beam foundation system allows the pre-panelization of the module columns, which can occur on or offsite.

This system installs quickly and easily, saving you time and labor. 

Some of the cost savings features are: 

  • Fast installation times
  • Integrated array grounding
  • Module preassembly is a much faster process
  • High wind capacity (130 mph)

Wirsol Energy Ltd eyes pair of UK solar projects

Wirsol Energy Ltd has agreed terms for the acquisition of two solar parks. The first project, which is already in construction, a 12.75MW project located in Wiltshire. The second is a 29.75MW project located in Oxfordshire. Following on from the project acquisition, both are being sold to Bluefield Solar Investment Income Fund Ltd. (“BSIF”). 

“We are pleased with these solar acquisitions, both sites have been acquired from experienced developers with whom we have a growing and ongoing relationship, additional projects in the pipeline,” said Mark Hogan, managing director of Wirsol Energy Ltd. “We are equally pleased to be working with Bluefield as our exit investment partner of choice.”

Mike Rand, a partner at Bluefield Partners, the Investment Advisor to BSIF commented, said the acquisition of the parks forms a key part of the portfolio the company is expecting to invest in under the 1.4 ROC regime to March 2015. “Having worked previously with the team at Wirsol, we are confident in their experience to deliver high quality solar parks and the ongoing operations and maintenance thereafter,” he stated.

Aside from these immediate investments, Wirsol Energy plans on further project acquisitions and in-house development which will be rolled out under both RO and Contract for Difference investment schemes.  According to Hogan, Wirsol is currently in the process of building a substantial and sustainable pipeline into 2015 and beyond.

“Our alliance with Bluefield on these first two parks was seen as a natural step given the history and experience of both parties,” said Peter Vest, managing director of WIRCON. “I am sure there will be more to follow as we build our respective businesses.”

Siemens and LG Chem to ramp up battery storage system collaboration

Siemens and LG Chem have agreed to collaborate more closely on project development and marketing of industrial battery storage systems, and have signed a memorandum of understanding to this effect. With this collaboration, the companies are responding to the growing demand for energy storage systems, which are needed more and more to stabilize distribution grids.

Under the terms of the agreement, Siemens will supply the converters and controller for the joint storage solutions and also handle the project planning and implementation as well as the integration of the storage systems into distribution grids and microgrids. For its part, LG Chem will supply the batteries and the battery management system.

The Importance Of Solar Snow Management

Solar SnowMax from the Sister company of EcoFasten Solar®  designed to put an end to the roof avalanche.  

Add snow to a solar panel (glass), and the melting snow will act as a lubricant between the snow mass and the panel surface, making the solar panel frictionless.  

   

Solar SnowMax has been proven as the strongest snow management system on the market, due to its rugged design and aircraft-grade aluminum fabrication.  It’s ideal for roof-top solar arrays and carports, for both commercial and residential applications, and can be used with either portrait orientation or landscape arrays.  The system clamps directly to the solar panel frame, and accepts an optional black color insert, which will match the framework of many of the solar panels on the market today.  

 

The final design was engineered specifically to provide a super low-profile (only 1.4” at its tallest point) to minimize shading.  Because the majority of panels don’t generate electricity along the edges, the shading effect is minor.  Take a look at our Solar SnowMax Shade Angle Analysis.  Our study was based on factors like roof pitch, geographical latitude, snow load calculations and the overall height of the Solar SnowMax system.
