PRESS RELEASE SOLARDOCK ANNOUNCES CONTRACTS FOR MORE THAN 1.2 MEGAWATTS OF FLATROOF SOLAR SYSTEMS IN MARYLAND September 12, 2013, Wilmington, Delaware SolarDock has been contracted to provide more than 1.2 Megawatts of 25degree tilt systems to two different projects in the “Old Line State “of Maryland. Both projects are expected to be completed this fall. It is SolarDock’s proven track record of providing safe and reliable flatroof and ground mounted racking systems that was the deciding factor in securing both projects. Some of SolarDock’s key features that were important to both customers are: High Tilt Angles The projects will maximize the system’s energy production and financial efficiency by utilizing a 25degree tilt angle. Higher tilt angles help the solar panels capture more of the sun’s rays throughout the day, resulting in more energy generated for the end user. Low System Weight Despite the higher tilt angle, the systems are still only averaging between 2.5 and 6 pounds per square foot. In fact, the interior of the system requires no additional ballast, further reducing the point loads across the roof. Commitment to Electrical and Fire Safety – SolarDock’s TUV certified integrated grounding and bonding solution provides multiple continuous ground paths, increasing the safety of the system. In addition, every SolarDock system has clear paths between all rows, allowing for unobstructed movement for Fire Personnel. Minimal Operations and Maintenance Costs With the SolarDock’s ventilated back, neither system’s owners will have to worry about system or rooftop damage caused by animals, wind bursts, or spalling concrete block. The higher tilt increases the amount that rain helps keep the panels clean, and also allows the system to shed snow during the winter.

About SolarDock: With more than 400 projects and 40 MW of projects installed in the United States and Canada, SolarDock is recognized among leading integrators, distributors and site owners as the premier choice in custom tilt solar mounting system. SolarDock’s commitment to safety and durability is demonstrated by its TUV Certification, 25 year warranty, and extensive wind testing and analysis.

PRESS  RELEASE  

SOLARDOCK  ANNOUNCES  CONTRACTS  FOR  MORE  THAN    1.2  MEGAWATTS  OF  FLAT-­ROOF  SOLAR  SYSTEMS  IN  MARYLAND  

 September  12,  2013,  Wilmington,  Delaware  -­‐  SolarDock  has  been  contracted  to  provide  more  than  1.2  Megawatts  of  25-­‐degree  tilt  systems  to  two  different  projects  in  the  “Old  Line  State  “of  Maryland.  Both  projects  are  expected  to  be  completed  this  fall.  

It  is  SolarDock’s  proven  track  record  of  providing  safe  and  reliable  flat-­‐roof  and  ground  mounted  racking  systems  that  was  the  deciding  factor  in  securing  both  projects.  Some  of  SolarDock’s  key  features  that  were  important  to  both  customers  are:  

• High  Tilt  Angles  -­‐  The  projects  will  maximize  the  system’s  energy  production  and  financial  efficiency  by  utilizing  a  25-­‐degree  tilt  angle.  Higher  tilt  angles  help  the  solar  panels  capture  more  of  the  sun’s  rays  throughout  the  day,  resulting  in  more  energy  generated  for  the  end  user.
