DuraTrack™ HZ Receives LA County Stamp of Approval

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Feb. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- Los Angeles County’s permitting office is notorious within the construction industry for its rigorous auditing process and strict adherence to the California Building Code. It was with open arms that Array Technologies, Inc. (ATI) and DynaSolar EPCM embraced the challenge of moving three solar sites totaling 5.4 MW through this arduous approval process, and are now able to celebrate their success.

ATI worked side-by-side with DynaSolar EPCM as they managed the full engineering, procurement, and construction process on behalf of their client, Capital Dynamics. ATI, DynaSolar, Blue Oak Energy, and Evergreen Solar Services, all collaborated to meet and exceed LA County’s special inspection process. ATI and DynaSolar were able to deliver the world’s first UL 3703 field-certified tracker with the DuraTrack HZ single-axis solar tracker system. The three co-located Rutan projects are now producing power.

“DynaSolar’s team excelled at coordinating and facilitating the process with the LA County permitting office to help us meet and exceed their highest expectations,” explains ATI Founder and CEO, Ron Corio. “Their dedication to the Rutan projects shows their total commitment to the future of the solar industry.”

“ATI’s forward thinking, in design, quality, and documentation is what sets them apart as an investment grade tracker system. Without all of these elements in place it is not possible to achieve this level of success in a jurisdiction like LA County,” stated Takia Roberts, CEO of DynaSolar EPCM.

The Rutan Solar Site is a group of single-axis solar tracking projects totaling 5.4 MW located in the city of Lancaster, California. The facilities were construction-managed by California-based EPCM DynaSolar and are owned by asset management firm, Capital Dynamics.

“The technical and organizational capabilities of the team assembled to execute these projects are what drove the projects to successful completion.  The permitting task within LA County was the most challenging anyone on the team had ever experienced and all involved managed it with precision and efficiency,” says Shaughn Ryan, Vice President in solar asset construction on the Clean Energy and Infrastructure team at Capital Dynamics. “We have now added these 3 projects to our flagship solar fund which we expect to be producing clean energy well into the future, thus generating regular streams of income for our investors over the long term.”
