Youngstown, OH, August 27th, 2018 – Solar FlexRack™, a
division of Northern States Metals and an innovative leader in photovoltaic
mounting and solar tracker solutions, announced that Exyte Energy (formerly M+W Energy, Inc.), one of America’s
largest providers of EPC and O&M services for solar photovoltaic systems,
has selected and installed their mounting technology in a landfill solar
project in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. The dedication of local utilities,
Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company and Shrewsbury Electric and
Cable Operations to work collaboratively with stakeholders ensured the 3.8 MW solar
project was successfully completed. Solar FlexRack’s Series B (ballasted)
Pre-Cast solar mounting technology was selected for its unique design, meeting
the stringent requirements of the highly regulated landfill segment of
large-scale solar installations.
Landfills converted to solar
generally do not allow penetration in the site’s land surface, requiring that mounting
and foundation technology be flexible, reliable, and lighter to meet all site
regulations. Solar FlexRack Series B Pre-Cast is designed with a front-rear
post mounting technology that effectively transfers loads into the concrete block
and allows for reductions in ballast thickness. Lighter ballasts and greater
flexibility for array profiles onsite translates to reduced costs. Series B
Pre-Cast solar mounting foundations have less components, making them faster
and easier to install. It is the perfect product for landfill projects
converting to solar power generation plants.
“This solar project overcame initial
delays and both utilities did a commendable job supporting its success and
making it a particularly significant and memorable project to be a part of,”
said Nathaniel Malo, Director of Business Development, M+W Energy, Inc. “I also
want to thank Solar FlexRack for working hard to meet short deadlines and doing
what they always do, which is consistently deliver reliability in their
products and work.”
“M+W are the leaders in the industry
and their commitment to customer satisfaction is impressive. We are pleased to
have the opportunity to work with a company that understands the complexities
of landfill projects and has the relationships to bring in the right people to
get the job done,” said Steve Daniel, Executive Vice President, Solar FlexRack.
