Unistrut Energy Solutions Launches Pre-Engineered Racking Systems for the Solar Market
Easy-to-install, pre-engineered racking system saves time and money in rooftop, ground and ballast-mounted solar installations
Harvey Ill.,—Unistrut International Corporation's Energy Solutions division now offers pre-engineered racking systems, demonstrating a cost-effective support structure for photovoltaic panels in a wide variety of solar applications, including rooftop, ground and ballast-mounted installations. PV panels can be mounted in a portrait or landscape format.
With a pre-engineered solution, contractors and solar integrators no longer have to wait for an engineering analysis. Accurate costs can also be generated in a matter of days. The company estimates a 30-35 percent savings over custom racking systems.
"These are flexible, efficient designs that optimize the use of product and affordable materials," said Ray Szkola, Engineering Manager." We have reduced the number of pieces, provided for simple connections, and lengthened spans to minimize roof or ground penetrations. This all makes it easy for a laborer or skilled tradesman to install the system, and reduces cost."
Unistrut is unique in that it manufactures, designs, fabricates and installs solar racking systems. Fabrication, pre-assembly, engineering and installation services make Unistrut a convenient one-stop shop.
"Ease of installation is critical for the timeline of the job," said Devine. "A system that is easy to install will help minimize potential bottlenecks."
