Fast, Easy, Cost-Effective Installations

To meet rooftop wind loading requirements, conventional flat solar panels typically must be secured to commercial roofs with either expensive mounting hardware or ballast. Together with the need for tilting, the resulting mounting systems require a substantial investment in labor, hardware, design and other balance of system costs.

Solyndra's system enables its customers to minimize installed cost per watt by offering significant savings on balance of systems costs, including labor. Because wind blows through Solyndra's panels and the panels can be mounted horizontally, simple, non-penetrating mounting hardware is used in the Solyndra system. No roof penetrations, attachments or ballast are needed. Panels and mounts are quickly attached together, enabling installations to be done quicker and more cost-effectively than conventional PV installations. After the installation is complete, these same attributes enable Solyndra systems to be easily moved for relocation or roof servicing.
