Unirac partners with Cobalt Power Systems to supply 397.5 kW Roof
Mount (RM), second largest solar roof installation in Palo Alto
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Unirac, Inc., a
Hilti Group Company and the leading provider of high quality,
competitive PV mounting solutions in North America, was selected by
Cobalt Power Systems Inc. to provide a 397.5 kW Roof Mount (RM)
mounting system recently installed at the Oshman Family JCC (OFJCC)
campus, in Palo Alto, CA.
The installation, developed by THiNKnrg, is Palo Alto's second largest
solar roof system and encompasses 1,840 solar panels on 12 buildings
of the Taube Koret Campus for Jewish Life (TKCJL). Combined, the solar
arrays will generate enough energy to offset approximately 9,500 tons
of CO2 over the next 20 years; which is equivalent to removing 1,814
passenger cars from the road.
"These projects required a modular solution to accommodate the
different layouts on the 12 roofs," said Daniel Hill, Director of
Solar Design & Sales for Cobalt Power Systems. "RM was selected for
its ease of design and installation around roof obstacles. RM has
proven to be an intuitive product with a short learning curve,
yielding faster installation rates than expected."
ROOF MOUNT introduces the Power of Simplicity to the ballasted, flat
roof solar industry. The system consists of only two major components,
minimizing preparation work and installation time. RM allows
installers to seamlessly design around roof obstacles, support most
framed modules and bond the system with just the turn of a wrench.
Cobalt procured RM from Gexpro, a Unirac Elite Partner. Unirac's
partners have distinguished their level of customer support,
availability, and overall value, thereby providing the highest level
of service to installers.
