Conergy launching complete Mounting System Portfolio for North America at Solar Power International

Conergy-manufactured mounting systems are now part of the full-offering of PV Products and Services

• Synchronized mounting system portfolio for every type of solar energy installation

• Introducing an aerodynamically inspired mounting system for commercial roofs
• Product innovations create efficiency and systems provide value
• Manufacturer in the United States as well as Ontario, Canada to meet OPA Local Content requirements for FIT eligibility.

Denver, CO and Dallas TX; October 4, 2011 – As a total solar energy solution provider, Conergy is now offering a full portfolio of Conergy manufactured mounting systems for the North American market. The mounting system portfolio includes complete solutions for every type of PV installation – SunTop IV and the North American preview of SunTop Trapez for pitched roof; SunTop tilt units for flat roofs and a new aerodynamic solution for weight-limited flat roofs; Solar Giant, a ballasted ground-mount solution and SolarLinea a driven pile mounting system for free field. With 18 years of mounting systems experience, 1 GW of mounting systems sold and the combined expertise of project developers, wholesalers and formerly as installers, Conergy developed its mounting system portfolio to solve solar installation challenges faced in the real world.

An Aerodynamic Mounting Solution
Conergy will unveil its light-weight, limited ballast commercial roof mounting system at Solar Power International. This new system, leverages aerodynamic forces to decrease ballasting, enabling installation on rooftops that currently can't support a solar array. Visit the Conergy booth, number 1111, at Solar Power International for a sneak peak.

Conergy Mounting System Portfolio
In order to decrease installation time and costs, Conergy's entire mounting system portfolio arrives with extensively pre-assembled parts and pre-fabricated components to eliminate the need for drilling and cutting in the field. As part of Conergy's efforts to bring value throughout the PV supply chain, its mounting system portfolio is designed to simplify logistics and improve design flexibility. The patented QuickStone technology that is used across the portfolio, substantially simplifies and speeds installation while reducing shipping and inventory complexities. For example, the same 6 mm Allen Wrench is the main tool needed for installation for the entire portfolio. The flexible design and use of components that do not require expensive equipment for installation decrease or even eliminate expensive prep work and site modifications.

Conergy mounting systems are manufactured in Sacramento, California and Ontario, Canada to meet Ontario Power Authority local content requirements for Feed-in-Tariff eligibility.

Smarter Design. Smarter Engineering.
Conergy designed its mounting system portfolio to decrease the total install time and cost, while improving the profitability of the total PV system. Each step of the project, from shipping and inventory to installation and switching costs, was evaluated in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency throughout the value chain. Conergy's mounting system portfolio is a synchronized system in order to make it easy for crews to quickly and easily learn the entire portfolio. All Conergy systems have high parts commonality and low tool and part count. Conergy's smarter engineering includes extensively pre-assembly of parts and pre-fabricated parts, significantly decreased parts counts, flexible designs and standardization of components to speed installation time, lower total installation cost and reduce complexities in design, logistics and installation.

As the world's only manufacturer of all the major components of a PV system including modules, inverters, mounting and monitoring, Conergy engineers used a system strategy approach to mounting system design. Focusing on system optimization, Conergy uniquely designed each mounting system to improve the durability of the entire system. For instance, since we are an entire system supplier, Conergy limits its rail spans in order to prevent stress on modules, compared to other mounting system providers who don't understand module durability and offer long spans.

Full Support. Full Service. Complete Product Portfolio
As a manufacturer and distributor of PV products and services for any application, Conergy offers solar modules, inverters and mounting systems along with all project development services. Conergy continues to offer its Conergy PowerPlus, Conergy P and Conergy PH modules along with the Conergy ON, Conergy'sOntario FIT compliant module in the Ontario Province, and wholesale products from the solar industry's leading suppliers.
