[Solar Power International '11] - Hanwha SolarOne Co., Ltd.
("Hanwha SolarOne") (Nasdaq:HSOL), a global, end-to-end solar systems
manufacturer, today announced it will license module mounting and
grounding technology from Zep Solar?, Inc., of San Rafael, Calif. Zep
Solar manufactures the industry's first drop-in, rail-free solar
photovoltaic (PV) installation system. The patented system includes the
Zep Groove? feature, which is integrated directly into the module frame,
and mounting and grounding hardware that connects to the groove,
reducing balance of system costs for a quicker, easier and safer
installation process.
With vertically integrated manufacturing of silicon ingots, wafers, PV
cells and modules, Hanwha SolarOne's modules are crafted from the very
finest materials to be reliable and efficient. Incorporating the Zep
Groove into Hanwha SolarOne's field-proven modules further streamlines
overall system efficiency by dramatically reducing both the materials
needed to mount the panels and the time spent on the roof installing the
system.
"Our modules provide the most reliable, high-performing solar power in
the marketplace," said Sungsoo Lee, Chief Strategic Officer of Hanwha
SolarOne. "By working with Zep Solar, the leaders in solar mounting
innovation and standardization, we are taking the Hanwha Solar product
portfolio to a new level, extending our competitive edge by offering Zep
Compatible? modules. Such innovation, combined with our reliable,
cost-effective product will help drive a solar energy transformation
around the world."
By offering a system solution that addresses design, mounting,
grounding, aesthetics, and wire management, Zep Solar offers the
industry's first comprehensive platform for PV system installation. In
addition to partnering with high quality PV manufacturers like Hanwha
SolarOne, Zep Solar also partners with balance of system manufacturers
to offer customers a wide range of product options including
module-level electronics that connect directly to the Zep Groove.
"Zep Solar is proud to partner with Hanwha SolarOne to expand the reach
of our installation platform," said Mike Miskovsky CEO of Zep Solar.
"Zep has focused on building strategic licensing agreements with leading
module manufacturers that will elevate our technology as the de facto
mounting solution, or 'USB of Solar.'"
Hanwha SolarOne will be exhibiting at booth #3527 where it will feature
its Zep Compatible PV module. Zep Solar with be at Booth # 4135 where it
