Unirac Awarded Contract to supply 469 kW Ground Mount Steel (GMS) for
Installation in US Virgin Islands
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., March 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Unirac, Inc., a
Hilti Group Company and the leading provider of high quality,
competitive solar photovoltaic (PV) mounting solutions in North
America, has been selected by Dynamic Solar Solutions to provide 469
kW of Ground Mount Steel (GMS) for installation in Christiansted, a
town on the island of Saint Croix, a district of the United States
Virgin Islands. The project broke ground in late December 2013 and is
scheduled to be completed in April 2014.
The array will support the energy needs for the Federal Building and
Courthouse of St. Croix, making it the first General Services
Administration (GSA) building in the United States to achieve net zero
energy consumption rating. The project is part of an Energy Savings
Performance contract (ESCO) between Schneider Electric and GSA with a
performance guarantee of 18 years.
"We selected Unirac because of our exceptional past experience with
them," said Leonardo Lebron Torres, P.E. and President of Dynamic
Solar Solutions. "Unirac consistently provides excellent engineering
and project support for their products. The GMS solution is fast and
easy to install, ultimately providing cost savings for our projects."
GROUND MOUNT STEEL evolved from more than 10 years of experience in
the fixed ground mount market to meet a variety of project
requirements. Powerful light gauge structural steel components yield
low material costs. Extremely low total installed costs are achieved
through Unirac's innovative project construction methods with
pre-assembled components. With more than 400 MW installed in North
America, GMS is the system of choice for fixed-tilt commercial and
utility ground mount projects.
