Toronto, CA, February 08, 2011 - PanelClaw, a leader in solar mounting system, is proud to announce that Helios Energy has selected PanelClaw as its preferred solar mounting technology provider for commercial rooftop solar installations in Ontario.

 

Toronto-based Helios Energy is developing a portfolio of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems under the Ontario Power Authority’s Feed-In Tariff (FIT) program.  Helios will use PanelClaw’s innovative non-penetrating Grizzly Bear technology as the solar mounting solution for its commercial rooftop installations.

 

PanelClaw’s eco-friendly Grizzly Bear ballasted solar mounting system features only three major components, low platform loads, and innovations including integrated ballast and roof protection that are designed to speed construction and minimize roof impact.

 

“Helios is enthusiastic about PanelClaw’s technology because it makes rooftop solar projects possible without penetrating a building’s roof membrane,” said  Ian Black, Director, Rooftop Solar of Helios Energy.  “Combined with rapid installation times and ongoing access to the roof in case of repairs, Grizzly Bear will enable Helios to deliver lowest-life cycle costs to our solar customers.”

 

“PanelClaw’s partnership with a solar developer like Helios Energy demonstrates the value Grizzly Bear can provide to the Ontario market,” said PanelClaw President Costa Nicolaou.  “Grizzly Bear’s innovative design will enable Helios to maximize array construction speed and minimize roof impact.”
