Rack 10 Solar completes 2nd project in our nations capital!
Rack 10 Solar is proud to announce the completion of its second high profile project in our nations capital. The project, owned and operated by Nextility, consists of a single closed loop solar domestic hot water heating system with 74 solar collectors along with a 92 kWp solar PV energy system.
The solar energy system at Van Ness St. in Washington, DC will be the largest of its kind on a multifamily dwelling in the District, according to Harry Richter, the building’s general manager. And it won’t cost the condo owners a dime.
To maximize DC production on the crowded rooftop, Nextility choose a 10 degree tilt pv angle with an aggressive 13" inter-row spacing. Rack 10 Solar was able to manufacture and supply their Shark Series ballasted racking system with a shortened inter-row spacing in less than 4 weeks.
The installation company, Waynesboro, VA based Sigora Solar, was able to take advantage of the three component Shark Series PV racking system and complete the installation in record time. "One noteworthy detail about this project is the Shark Series ballasted PV racking system required no modifications, or additional roof stanchions, to withstand the local 120 mph wind speed and 115' rooftop elevation. Due to our patented 'jaw' feature which eliminates PV top clamps on the southern edge of the module, our Shark Series ballasted racking system has inter-module rigidity not found in competing ballasted pan type racking systems." commented Jason Snyder, Vice President of Rack 10 Solar.
Rack 10 Solar offers American Made PV racking products as low as $0.10/w, and is proud to be a part of the clean energy movement that is supplying jobs and clean energy to our nations capital.
