Ecolibrium, ModSolar Partner on Racking Layout Tool
Ecolibrium Solar & ModSolar announce a partnership to create the solar industry’s first visual racking layout tool to easily and automatically produce a racking materials list directly from a panel layout on the ModSolar Platform. The tool will be released at SPI in Orlando at Ecolibrium Solar’s booth 1369.
“Ecolibrium is excited to be partnering with ModSolar on this ground-breaking technology,” said Brian Wildes, CEO of Ecolibrium Solar. “We were impressed ModSolar accomplishments, so when they came to us with an idea that would significantly enhance our quoting process, making it easier for our partners to work with Ecolibrium Solar, we wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.”
Ecolibrium and ModSolar will collaborate to automate the quoting and materials specification process for a PV system design for a solar project that seeks to use Ecolibrium’s Ecofoot 2 flat roof mounting system. From either Ecolibrium’s website or from inside the ModSolar Platform, PV system designers can create a panel layout using ModSolar’s patent pending panel layout technology, and instantly get a full, accurate, and easy to understand materials list from Ecolibrium for that project, complete with costs and shipping information.
“ModSolar’s mission is to build a technology platform for the solar industry that will enable the creation of products and processes that support present and future development in the industry. When we originally conceived of our panel layout technology, it was obvious that it could be taken to the next step, to help spec all materials needed for a given system,” said Mike Dershowitz, President of ModSolar. “Once you have a panel layout, you really have most of what you need to design and spec the entire PV system. We’re thrilled to have Ecolibrium Solar as our first racking manufacturer on the ModSolar Platform who understands the value to their business of an automated, visual racking sizer. We’re always excited to work with people of vision, who want to push the limits of what’s possible, as ModSolar is constantly doing. Ecolibrium is a company that believes in innovation much like ModSolar does.”
“Ecolibrium Solar is proud of the technology and innovation we have brought to the solar racking industry. The decision to team up with Modsolar was another example of Ecolibrium Solar’s commitment to our customers and being a leader in the racking industry. The tool empowers installers, integrators, and distributors while expediting the ordering process. We look forward to the benefits our customers will experience using this tool,” concluded Wildes.
The ModSolar Platform has the unique ability to give a full and accurate specification of the materials that make up a mounting system for a given PV system because its panel layout technology can be configured to conform to the spacing and layout requirements of the mounting system that will be used. The custom sizing algorithm for the Ecofoot 2 mounting system scans the PV system layout and can determine what material is needed for the Ecofoot 2 mounting system for any given flat roof panel layout, regardless of complexity.
