DuraTrack™ HZ & DuraRack™ expand their East Coast presence

Deadlines are always tight, but what if your target was to install more than 56 MWdc of solar technology in just 60 days? Array Technologies, Inc. (ATI) and SunEnergy1 recently faced this reality together and came through stronger than ever.

In the final months of 2013, five solar sites in North Carolina received ground mount solutions from ATI and were constructed by SunEnergy1, a leading solar design, engineering and construction company based in North Carolina. ATI and SunEnergy1 signed the Supply Agreements a mere three months before the December 31st tax credit deadline. ATI was selected as the ground mount solutions provider for these projects due to a stellar track record of on-time deliveries. The DuraTrack™ HZ and DuraRack™ fixed-tilt also boast the fastest on-site install rates in the industry. In order to facilitate installation of 56 MW at five sites in less than two months, ATI went above and beyond to provide engineering services, factory kitted assemblies, on-site project management support and accelerated shipments to help SunEnergy1 meet the imposing deadline.

"I'm really impressed with the way ATI and SunEnergy1 were able to come together, work side-by-side, and respond quickly to make sure the projects met tight deadlines which were critical to investors," says ATI Founder and CEO, Ron Corio. "The team effort in this case was truly exceptional."

"We at SunEnergy1 are truly thrilled to now be converted to ATI racking. Truly head and shoulders above the competition, both in tracking and fixed tilt solutions," explains Kenny Habul, CEO of SunEnergy1. "Through design excellence, clever packaging and pre-assembly, ATI's product is one of the reasons we could install 200,000 panels in less than 60 days."

Dogwood Solar Power, Windsor Cooper Hill Solar, Bethel Price Solar, Washington Airport Solar and Highway 92 Solar, all located in eastern North Carolina, were the first to receive new DuraTrack HZ and DuraRack product enhancements, such as integrated grounding module mounting clamps which optimize materials and install time. Utilizing ATI's site-specific customization options, all three DuraTrack HZ projects and both DuraRack projects were designed to withstand more than 100 MPH winds in North Carolina's hurricane prone environment.

All five projects were interconnected and commissioned on-time before the 31st of December 2013.
