Solar FlexRack is the industry leader in solar mounting systems. Solar FlexRack offers a unique product line focused on maximizing labor savings on the jobsite. The Solar FlexRack unique pre-assembled unfolding design is unlike any other in the fixed tilt racking arena. This has brought with it great success on large scale commercial and utility projects in both the US and Canada. Solar FlexRack also offers a commercial flat roof mount solution and a single-axis tracking solution. All Solar FlexRack products are custom designed and continuous innovation keeps the product lines ahead of the curve in the racking industry. Solar FlexRack also offers full turnkey installation services with its Certified Installer program. In addition to installation services the engineering staff at Solar FlexRack can offer Geotechnical and layout design services. Solar FlexRack is a division of Northern States Metals, a full service manufacturer with over 40 years of industry experience.
In 2009 we decided that we needed to change the way people looked at solar mounting systems. Our team of engineers took the challenge and created the Solar FlexRack, a unique, pre-assembled unfolding racking design that drastically reduces labor and installation costs in the field.
Today, we offer utility and commercial ground mounts, as well as single-axis tracking systems. In fact, our large-scale commercial and utility projects are the cornerstone of our business. We innovate our products to your specifications, from geotechnical design to quick assembly and maintenance. Our FlexRack system adapts to any panel configuration, and our Certified Installer program guarantees that we stay on target to meet your solar needs.
History
Our parent company, Northern States Metals, opened for business in 1972. It began developing aluminum-extruded industrial products and served various industries, including medical, military, and automotive. In 1997 the company diversified and began to manufacture frames for solar panels, which led to the development of aluminum solar mounting clamps in 2008. We didn’t stop there, and in 2009, the Solar FlexRack was born.
At Solar FlexRack we understand the complexities that go into every solar project. We provide the vast experience necessary to navigate small- to large-scale projects, at your specifications and within your budget. We assign a project engineer to every customer, providing a seamless experience from bid to installation to maintenance. We value the bottom line and provide cost-effective solutions. Every custom racking system is manufactured in an ISO 9001-certified facility, and we understand the need for quality and risk mitigation—we don’t sacrifice one for the other. They go together. With our engineering and geotechnical expertise, project management, field services, and training, every rack we install is a framework of innovation.
Continued innovation is a core promise of the Solar FlexRack brand. This extends from the new products announced at Solar Power International to the 2013 “Leadership in Solar” awards in the category of Racking and Mounting.
History
Our parent company, Northern States Metals, opened for business in 1972. It began developing aluminum-extruded industrial products and served various industries, including medical, military, and automotive. In 1997 the company diversified and began to manufacture frames for solar panels, which led to the development of aluminum solar mounting clamps in 2008. We didn’t stop there, and in 2009, the Solar FlexRack was born. Keeping with our innovative spirit, in 2011, we acquired the Opel technology for a single axis tracker and completely redesigned it to achieve a lower overall balance of system cost.
From then we decided that we wanted to become the trusted advisor for all geotech reporting, push/pull testing, and field services as well as mounting systems, so we hired several key team members that were the best in the industry in 2012. We have only grown since then and are now one of the leading engineering services and solar mounting companies in North America. In 2014 we came out with our X Series racking system which has lowered the overall project costs by leaps and bounds. We are proud to announce that we are quickly approaching 1GW of solar installations in North America and are expanding operations internationally.
