SFUSA Celebrates 10 Years
September is a special month for Solar Foundations USA and this year we have the pleasure of celebrating our 10th year in business.
Solar Foundations began operations in September of 2009 with its offerings limited to the foundation piles and the substructure used to support solar panel racking. We were designing our support structures to work with racking products supplied from a wide array of racking manufacturers. By early 2010, we identified several significant opportunities to improve the design of the ground mount support structure along with the need to develop a racking product that was optimized for use in ground mount arrays. Later that same year, we began extruding test profiles for our own racking product and submitted patent applications for many of the initial products we began producing. As of 2011, all of our ground mount support structures are installed with our racking products only.
Solar Foundations has grown to acquire facilities in New Castle, DE, Columbia, SC, and Ballston Lake, NY. SFUSA initially made a name for itself in the solar racking industry by providing high-quality solutions with very short lead times for residential and light commercial ground mount structure projects throughout the Northeastern United States. When it comes to your needs for ground mount racking structures, Solar Foundations offers a full range of services including consultation, engineering and design, permit ready plans, custom component manufacturing and installation services all along the east coast.
Since inception, we have seen numerous occasions where companies have been reluctant to sell ground mount systems. Solar energy installers typically are well versed in roof top installation processes but often do not install a sufficient volume of ground mount structures to develop the same level of proficiency. Additionally, many of the cost savings benefits associated with commercial scale projects are not available to residential installers. Our certified crews are the only authorized installers of our product with specially outfitted rigs to allow them to be extremely efficient and maintain the highest of standards. Between our patented products, custom equipment, and certified crews, we have built our reputation for reliable service one successful project at a time.
Our continued success with growing product demand required us to develop scalable design and installation processes, training programs, expandable manufacturing capacity along with positioning skilled and dedicated key personnel within the company. SFUSA is proud of our team of experienced and dedicated individuals whose capabilities incorporate the diverse needs of our growing clientele across the United States.
