West Sacramento (CA) – October 02, 2013
At the Solar Power International trade show in Chicago, Mounting Systems, Inc, the California based international manufacturer will introduce two new PV racking systems. Dubbed Alpha+ (Alpha plus) and Tau+ (Tau plus), the new pitched roof racking systems employ Mounting Systems' all-new Clickstone technology. This new connection technology gives Photovoltaic system owners and installers a higher level of installation speed, simplicity and economy. An updated version of the Mounting Systems Quick Configurator planning tool with greater functionality and an improved user interface will also be introduced.

New special adapter Clickstone for on-roof systems
Integral to the new Alpha+ and Tau+ product lines, the new Clickstone fasteners are the successors to Mounting Systems' patented Quickstone. The Clickstone works on a simple principle: click into the rail, position, tighten, done. This results in fast assembly, precise positioning and increased security during installation. The Clickstone's symmetrical design lets the installer insert the Clickstone into the rail more easily, adjust it more accurately and secure it more quickly.

Highly optimized design
Both the Alpha+ and Tau+ systems use new, economical rails to accommodate the Clickstone system components. The symmetrical rail channels contribute to speeding and simplifying system assembly and installation. The Clickstone itself takes up less room in the rail which further contributes to the overall economy.
Other important system characteristics of the new products include Mounting Systems' telescoping rail ends that eliminate cutting rails, three separate rail sizes to allow optimizing span, use and roof attachments, new Tau+ rails that make landscape mounting faster and more secure. In addition, the roof mounting hooks provide significantly enhanced positioning capability and quick height adjustment.
"With the development of the Clickstone systems and improvements to our Quick Configurator, our engineers have been able to provide three important benefits for our customers: an efficient way to plan and verify the structural integrity of their installations and to simply assemble the solar plant on site. Thirdly, our innovations offer enhanced safety over the entire life span of the solar system. That goes hand in hand with our high level of service and quality. At the same time, the customer profits from cost-savings thanks to the reduced use of material"," says Kasim Ersoy, Managing Director of Mounting Systems, Inc.

Improved Quick Configurator planning software
Additionally, Mounting Systems will present newly designed software for safe and fast planning of both the Alpha+ and the Tau+. The Quick Configurator features a user-friendly design and expanded functions such as the ability to work simultaneously on different projects. The software provides everything a customer needs: a location specific structural verification, a ready-to-order bill of material and a clear installation plan.
