AllEarth Renewables wins awards for solar tracker system - AllSun

AllEarth Renewables, was recently awarded two national top-product honors for its AllSun solar tracker design. The pallet system for the innovative AllSun Tracker won "Top Products of 2013" from Solar Power World and was also one of eight products to win "2013 Top Products" by Electrical Products and Solutions. Utilizing the rails of the solar tracker frame, the AllSun Tracker Pallet was designed to allow nationwide shipping to installers or directly to job sites. The completely pre-engineered system simplifies supply chain management and installation by including the entire tracker and materials needed for a solar installation. "We take a lot of pride in our company's engineering and lean manufacturing. This product was designed with our growing network of nationwide solar installers in mind, allowing them to both get our tracker quickly and make their installation jobs easier," said David Blittersdorf, president and CEO of AllEarth Renewables. The dual-axis AllSun Tracker is designed for residential and commercial-scale installations. By tracking the sun each day, the system boosts energy production by up to 45% over rooftop installations. "Each year we choose what we believe are top products in the electrical industry market," wrote Electrical Products and Solutions. "The products and services chosen are each unique, beneficial and reliable in their own right." AllEarth Renewables was a 2012 Inc. 500 business for fastest growing companies nationwide and has installed over 1,750 complete grid-connected solar tracker systems.
