Youngstown OH, Oct. 11th,
2016 - Solar FlexRack™, a division of Northern States Metals and an innovative
leader in photovoltaic mounting and tracking solutions, announced today the largest
utility-scale solar power generation project in Iowa, a 2.3MW plant (the largest
of the series which will include 5 systems and total 5.5MW) is installed with the
smartest solar racking solution available, the best-in-class G3 Fixed Tilt system. One
of the most cost-effective racking solutions, Solar FlexRack’s G3 Series was independently
verified for its ease and speed of installation. Developed and installed by
Azimuth Energy, the installations under construction are primarily located in
the central and eastern regions of the Hawkeye State. Central Iowa Power
Cooperative (CIPCO), Iowa’s largest cooperative energy provider, will commission
the carbon-free, solar plants and the clean energy will be delivered to their
membership. CIPCO is part of a powerful movement among electric cooperatives to
procure sustainable solar power as a part of their energy offering. (Cooperativesacross the US have over 500 MW of solar power installed or in the works.*)
Steve Daniel, EVP of Solar
FlexRack said, “We are pleased to have been selected for these projects by an
engineering, construction and development support services company as dedicated
to quality work and customer service as Azimuth Energy. The rigors of their
quality assurance program distinguishes their work and helps to ensure
long-term project reliability.”
"We
work closely with our clients and want to ensure we find the best solutions for
their needs. Solar FlexRack met our demanding requirements,
providing the most versatile solution with the ability
to accommodate varying terrains and duplicate design configurations - reducing
engineering time and installation cost,” said Marc Lopata, President, Azimuth Energy.
When completed, the 5 solar
electric plants will reduce over 5 million tons of carbon emissions annually.
