Solar FlexRack in the Spotlight at the Intersolar North America 2011 Show July 11–14 in San Francisco

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO — The patent-pending Solar FlexRack, manufactured by Northern States Metals, will be on display at Booth 7626 at the upcoming Intersolar North America trade show. The event will take place July 11–14 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. 

Those who stop by the booth will be able to see a full-size Solar FlexRack (1x2 configuration) in operation. They’ll also be able to learn about the many new features of the next generation of Solar FlexRacks, along with new options such as the SmartClip and SmartGround, which will further enhance the convenience and speed of installation of the most innovative photovoltaic rack mounting solution on the market today.

The product’s unique, pre-assembled unfolding design means each rack can be installed by a three-man crew in 3 minutes or less. Solar FlexRack’s nearest competitor touts an installation time of 45 minutes with a six-man crew.

The result: significantly accelerated construction times and dramatic savings on labor costs — an estimated $500,000+ savings per 10MW project. Thus, when the Solar FlexRack is specified in an RFP, the total bid could be as much as 40 percent lower for construction.

Intersolar North America, the premier solar industry exhibition and conference in North America for solar professionals to exchange information and develop business opportunities in the U.S. solar market, will feature solar products and cutting edge technologies from around 800 exhibitors. Registered visitors representing 62 countries and exhibiting companies from 30 countries will be in attendance.
