Upsolar Enables Clean Energy at the Marina

Partners with Energie Innovative and SolarEdge for renewable energy generating cantilevers

GENOA, Italy—October 3, 2013—Upsolar, a leading international provider of solar PV modules, unveiled today a renewable energy solution for marina environments, combining durable equipment storage and protection with on-site power generation. Developed in partnership with Energie Innovative, these modular systems are available with PV, solar thermal and wind generation capabilities.

Each PV-equipped cantilever system features Upsolar's high-quality, high-performance smart modules, optimized by SolarEdge to enhance energy production, provide module-level monitoring and increase system safety.
The PV and wind power generation units—available as small as 3 kWp in size and customizable to each individual's space allowance —help customers to sustainably meet their energy needs, and also offer protection for small watercraft against inclement weather conditions. When combined with solar thermal technology, the cantilevers also produce hot water for showers and other facilities.
"Upsolar's modules are proven to maintain superior performance when exposed to high levels of salt spray, which makes us an ideal partner for coastal customers looking to reduce electricity costs while safeguarding their investments from the harsh elements," said Giuseppe D'Elia, Country Manager for Upsolar Italy. "We see significant growth potential for these cantilever products, which showcase the potential of renewable energy in unconventional, multi-purpose applications."
The Upsolar-powered cantilever solution is on display at the 53rd International Boat Show in Genoa, and is available for order today. For more information, please visit www.upsolar.com/it or write to italy@upsolar.com.
