Minnesota Solar Market Booms for GameChange with 40MW Order

Share

GameChange Solar announced that it received orders for approximately 40MW of Max-Span™ Plus fixed tilt pile driven racking systems to mount First Solar Series 4 thin film modules. A total of nine systems are to be installed in the second quarter of 2017 and are being built by a leading national EPC for a Fortune 50 system owner. This is the third order from the same customer as well as for the same end owner.

This brings the total GameChange Solar systems sold in Minnesota to approximately 140MW.

Lizzy Aldridge, Director of Business Development at GameChange Solar, stated: “Our rugged Max-Span™ Plus system has the robustness needed for the high snow loads in the Minnesota market. Frost heave concerns are paramount in foundation design and GameChange Solar has been able to provide strong and cost effective piles which can handle the strength and deep embedment depths required for this challenging environment.”
