Solar FlexRack Installation at Virgin Islands Airport Stands Up to Hurricane Irene

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO — The Solar FlexRack, the most innovative photovoltaic rack mounting system on the market, is known for the speed and ease with which it can be installed. While its nearest competitor touts an installation time of over 30 minutes with a six-man crew, a Solar FlexRack can be installed by a three-man crew in five minutes or less.

However, another notable attribute of the Solar FlexRack is its durability and wind-resistance. Careful engineering has resulted in a product that stands up to the worst Mother Nature can throw at it: rain, snow, and high winds.

This was proven recently at a Solar FlexRack installation on the Virgin Islands. All Rounder Systems LLC of St. Croix was the project manager for a 451KW solar farm at the CE King Airport in St. Thomas. The 129 2x7-panel Solar FlexRacks at this installation were certified for winds of 150 mph.

Steve Larchuk, CEO of All Rounder Systems, says “After visiting the factory and meeting with the engineering and manufacturing team, I was sold on the Solar FlexRack system. It has performed extremely well at our airport installation on St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.”

In a subsequent note, Larchuck reported “Hurricane Irene came through last night, and your racks took the 65 mph winds without a blink.”
