San Rafael, California-based SunLink Corporation announced a supply agreement with thin-film photovoltaic manufacturer Nanosolar, Inc. SunLink will supply a custom, flat roof mounting system for Nanosolar Utility Panels.
SunLink says the system is designed to reduce the overall amount of materials used and to use recycled materials. In addition, the lightweight, low-tilt system requires no penetrations or additional ballast on many flat roofs, and is designed for simplicity and rapid assembly with no special installation tools.
SunLink developed the system as part of the Solar America Initiative award by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
“This partnership is a testament to the growing interest in commercial thin-film applications across the industry,” said Christopher Tilley, CEO, SunLink. “We’re excited to team with a forward-thinking leader in technology development such as Nanosolar to pioneer our thin-film product line and to further our engineering milestones.”
Said Brian Sager, Co-Founder and Vice President Corporate Development for Nanosolar, and principal investigator for this project, “The Nanosolar SunLink system for flat rooftops is a product of two plus years of collaboration to significantly reduce the levelized cost of electricity for commercial solar rooftops.”
The SunLink thin-film mounting product for Nanosolar will be available for commercial sale in early 2010.
