TecnoSun Solar USA and Canada announce partnership to develop solar tracking marketshare

Friday, Jul 06, 2012

BARRIE, Ontario, July 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TecnoSun Solar Canada Inc., a newly formed company, is partnering with TecnoSun Solar USA Inc. to commercialize and develop the North, Central and South American markets.

The TecnoSun Solar EcoChamp tracking systems are designed to achieve up to 40% higher efficiencies for the commercial solar market. TecnoSun Solar tracking systems mean a higher return-on-investment for solar projects stretching from North to South America.

The unique low-profile, high-density design of the EcoChamp tracking systems respond to several key concerns for commercial and utility-scale developers in the solar industry. The low-profile engineering of the system resolves the issue of wind and risk of shade given its compact architecture. The shallow lightweight structure makes for an easier installation both on rooftop and ground-mount applications. The layout of the EcoChamp system provides a high-density solution, requiring less land in comparison to other tracking systems. The economic advantages of the EcoChamp series include a quicker and less expensive installation, reduced land requirement, reduced production cost of energy, and minimized operations/maintenance costs.

TecnoSun Solar USA and TecnoSun Solar Canada will be exhibiting at Intersolar North America in Booth # 9041 in San Francisco from July 10-12.

Ken Rounds, Chairman of the Board of TecnoSun Solar Canada, responds to this development with: "We are excited to bring TecnoSun Solar's unique tracking technology to the commercial rooftop and the solar field markets across the Americas. This technology represents a paradigm shift in the solar tracking sector of the industry. This high-density, low-profile, lower cost and simplistic design will increase the return-on-investment for renewable energy investors. On average solar tracking systems typically increase electricity production between 20-40%, and because of the simple design features customers can expect greater reliability and lower annual operating costs than other trackers."
