Solyndra 200 Series Installs Faster and Saves on Installation Costs

Solyndra, Inc, a cylindrical photovoltaic (CPV) systems manufacturer from USA, has declared the availability of Solyndra 200 Series. The product said to be ideal for use over bigger sized commercial rooftops, incorporates a proven technology and offers easy and quicker installation with low level distribution of its load and with reduced installation costs.

The lightweight panels come as a boon for the older rooftops with distributed weight over the roofs. The panels can be installed without the requirement of roof penetrations or ballasting and can be set quickly than the flat type of solar panels. This feature reduces the interruptions to the continuing of business and also reduces the payment towards labor. The CPV system utilizes around 80% fewer parts than any other conventional system and does away with the array ground requirements to further lower the installation costs. The design of the Solyndra 200 Series CPV system allows it to capture every bit of sunlight reflected over the 360 degree top surface of the module and the production efficiency can be increased drastically when used with a reflective type of cool roof. The modules kept at a wider space offers even collection of energy all through the day than the conventional flat panels. The cylindrical design of the module allows flexible usage in rooftop applications and can be placed to face any direction to suit the convenience of the roof construction. The CPV modules are designed to endure extreme soil and snow conditions and withstand wind speeds up to 130 mph.

Brian Harrison, President and CEO of Solyndra, predicted 200 to be a good solution for any bigger sized commercial rooftop. He added that the easy to install modules does not require any tools for installation and offers relatively quicker installations.
