SOLON installs solar capacity at University of Arizona Biosphere 2

TUCSON, USA: SOLON Corp,, one of the largest providers of turnkey solar power plants in the US, announced the installation of a 10 kilowatt (kW) pilot project of the SOLquick commercial rooftop solution at Biosphere 2, a unique ecological research and teaching facility located north of Tucson.

Installed on the roof of the Biosphere 2’s conference center, the SOLquick installation will provide clean energy to help power the facility. Together, SOLON and the Biosphere team will develop a solar learning center based on the system, which SOLON will continue to monitor for one year, to continue training, time trials and research, and to ensure all design functions are met.

SOLquick’s integrated unit ships directly to the work site with the laminate and racking as one. Requiring no tools, installation time is reduced by more than 85 percent. Weighing less than 2.8 pounds per square foot, SOLquick offers a lightweight solution for customers like the Biosphere to incorporate solar into their energy portfolio through their roof.
