ATHENS, Ohio, July 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecolibrium Solar, a
leading supplier of solar racking systems for commercial and
residential applications, announces the launch of the new EcoX
rail-less racking system.
With an organized approach to installation, the EcoX system
helps streamline the residential installation process. The
system offers adjustability in all directions, and its universal
design is compatible with industry standard framed modules ranging
from 33-50mm thick. The rail-less concept eliminates large,
bulky components, improving shipping costs and on-site
logistics. And with pre-assembled components and a low part
count, EcoX is a flexible, simple product that helps installers
finish each project faster.
Over the past 18 months, Ecolibrium has supplied and supported
over 150 MW of residential projects with an early design. To
develop the new EcoX product, the Ecolibrium engineering team
gathered feedback and lessons learned from customers and
installations. The resulting system maintains the same
installation process, and adds additional features in module
positioning and adjustability.
"We gained significant experience working with our customers
over the past year, and that really helped us create a product with
a great set of features," said Sam
Veague, General Manager, Residential at Ecolibrium
Solar. "By prioritizing installer feedback while refining the
design, our engineering team has delivered a product that is
optimized for a fast residential install process, while lowering
the overall cost of the system."
To support new and existing customers, the Ecolibrium Solar
Field Support team, made up of experienced installers, is dedicated
to customer support and on-site training. The team typically
works with a new customer on their first few installations to
ensure they transition to the rail-less installation process.
They are then available for ongoing training and support.
To validate the product, the engineering team conducted
extensive testing on the design before launching in the market to
ensure the system would last the life of a project. Internal
testing was conducted at the Ecolibrium Solar R&D Center in
Boulder, CO. Then, final 3rd party validation was
completed the Nationally Recognized Test Lab TUV Rheinland PTL, in
Tempe, AZ.
EcoX successfully received the full UL2703 certification.
This comprehensive certification includes both grounding and
bonding as well as mechanical load testing with top module
manufacturers. In addition, the system has successfully been
certified to the UL2703/1703 Fire Certification, receiving a Class
A designation for both Type 1 and Type 2 modules. Finally,
the system also successfully passed the ICC-ES AC286/UL441 Rain
Test for Roof Flashing, which verifies a waterproof seal at roof
attachment points.
The new EcoX system will be on display at Intersolar North
America Booth #9445 in San Francisco,
CA July 14-16, 2015.
