SOLON SOLQUICKTM COMMERCIAL ROOFTOP SYSTEM NOMINATED FOR INTERSOLAR AWARD 2012
Patent Pending SOLquick System Decreases Installation Time by Over 85%
TUCSON, Ariz., May 24, 2012. SOLON Corporation, one of the largest providers of turnkey
selected as one of the finalists by the Intersolar AWARD 2012 expert panel in the Photovoltaic
category, recognizing SOLON's patent pending SOLquickTM commercial rooftop system as one
of the most pioneering technologies and innovations of 2012.
The SOLquick system, a versatile new plug-and-play commercial rooftop solution, successfully
integrates a frameless module and racking into a unitary product to bring tremendous cost
savings, simplicity and design value far above standard module installation practices.
Developed to reduce overall system cost by targeting installation labor, the SOLquick system is
designed to ship directly to the work site, fully assembled with no staging or tools required. The
product can be installed in 10 units per man hour and initial SOLquick flat roof installation has
proven to reduce mechanical installation time by over 85 percent and electrical installation time
by 50 percent.
Featuring Fibrex® material from Andersen Corporation, an innovative wood and thermoplastic
composite material for the racking, the SOLquick system is significantly lighter than traditional
roof-mounted systems, at 2.8psf (80lbs). In addition, the system requires no additional ground
wire, which further minimizes labor and cost.
Lars Podlowski, SOLON's Chief Technical Officer, stated "The SOLquick system was developed
by our US-based product development team from concept to launch in just eight months. This
product highlights SOLON's strategy of aggressively attacking system and installation costs
through innovative and differentiated products, in this case focusing on a unitary, light-weight
module and mounting system as well as rapid installation."
The industry-renowned Intersolar AWARD is given out annually by an independent panel of
judges in the award categories of photovoltaics, solar thermal technologies and PV production
technologies (in cooperation with SEMI PV Group). Over 3,500 exhibitors from Intersolar
