SOLON Corporation selects Schletter Inc. as supplier for a 15 MW (AC) ground mount solar installation in California.

Schletter, a global leading manufacturer of solar photovoltaic (PV) mounting systems, was selected by SOLON Corporation as the racking supplier for a 15 MW (AC) ground mount solar installation in California's Central Valley. Using Schletter's FS System, the solar PV field will quickly achieve completion in order to produce carbon-free energy production.

The 105 acre solar field uses Schletter's proven FS System, installed in several of the world's largest ground mount solar installations. Consisting of a high level of pre-assembled components, the FS System is installed using a hydraulic ram (called the GAYK). SOLON Corporation's project in the Central Valley consists of more than 8,000 individual FS posts as well as supporting module rails.

"We at Schletter are very proud to have been chosen by SOLON to deliver the structural components for this 15 MW project," says Sven Kuenzel, Vice President of Sales and Marketing with Schletter Inc. "In particular it is especially rewarding that our constant investments into our production facility and machinery have dropped the turnaround time for producing the materials to an unbelievable rate. Schletter has the potential to produce and manufacture a 15 MW project within two weeks at our manufacturing plant in Tucson if necessary." Mr. Kuenzel goes on to say, "The installation of this solar system in heavily corrosive soils in combination with cathodic protection system is another outstanding attribute of this impressive project."
