Andalay Solar, a leading supplier of integrated solar power systems, has received its largest-ever commercial solar system mounting hardware purchase order. The buyer, one of the five largest commercial solar installation companies in the U.S., has ordered from Hyundai Heavy Industries over 1MW of the upcoming Hyundai TG-Series modules which feature the Andalay Instant Connect® frame, and in turn has ordered from Andalay Solar over 1MW of commercial flat-roof mounting hardware.
"I'm pleased to see early demand for the new Hyundai TG-Series module. It's a great vote of confidence coming from a top installer in the industry to take the first modules manufactured by our new partner, Hyundai Heavy Industries," commented Steven Chan, President and CEO of Andalay Solar. "Customers now have the option to buy our modules manufactured under license by 'Tier One' brands, and to purchase our patented mounting hardware directly from us. I am excited that our new business strategy of partnering with top-tier solar module manufacturers is showing signs of success, and we expect it will optimize use of our working capital and ultimately translate into stronger profits."
Andalay's commercial flat roof system is a ballasted, aluminum pan and fairing solution which takes advantage of the patented Andalay frame design and allows for faster installation with far fewer parts than ordinary, rail-based flat roof systems.
