February 21, 2011—Solyndra, Inc., an American manufacturer of cylindrical photovoltaic (PV) systems for large commercial rooftops, has announced the availability of a new guide for people interested in specifying solar systems on their commercial and industrial rooftops.
“The awareness of rooftop solar as both a source of income from typically unused space, and a mechanism to meet corporate-wide sustainability and carbon reduction goals is growing,” said Karen Alter, SVP of Marketing for Solyndra. “This guidebook helps our potential customers ask the right questions and understand all of the elements to be considered as they contemplate a rooftop solar project. Our roofing and solar experts can then guide them through the complex local and regional incentive programs to design the best system for their rooftop.”
The guide is available for download online.
Solyndra designs and manufactures PV systems for the commercial and industrial rooftop market. Using proprietary cylindrical modules and thin-film technology, Solyndra systems achieve the lowest system installation costs on a per watt basis, according to the company.
