Schletter's FS ECO(TM) is an all-steel ground mounted system, based on the company's renowned FS System(TM). The new system incorporates decades of engineering expertise to create a dynamic, cost-effective steel mounting system for improved bankability and risk management.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Schletter Inc., a leader in solar mounting systems, announces the release of the FS ECO, an all-steel ground mount system for photovoltaic (PV) applications designed for traditional south-facing installations as well as unique east-west oriented applications. The new system will be on display at the Intersolar tradeshow in San Francisco July 10 - 12, 2012, booth number 9223.

From a company which is known for providing some of the highest quality aluminum PV mounting systems, Schletter has applied decades of solar mounting experience to an entirely new product line, using all steel components. Based on the engineering advancements of the Schletter FS System installed in many of the world's largest PV installations, the new FS ECO steel mounting system provides a lower price point for clients looking for quality and affordability.

"When it comes to providing a product with the longest installed lifespan possible, aluminum is an ideal choice," says Mr. Martin Hausner, President of Schletter Inc. Mr. Hausner goes on to say that, "however, Schletter understands the customer and market demand for a quality, cost effective alternative to aluminum." The FS ECO is extremely cost competitive and is engineered in a way that minimizes installation costs, the constant focus of Schletter's product development efforts.

The new FS ECO system allows the same flexible module configurations as the FS System. The company states the system includes the necessary posts (foundations) for a rammed/driven installation. The proprietary steel post shape is first cold-rolled and then hot dipped galvanized for extended product longevity.
