PWRstation Solar Genset Achieves Time-to-completion Record

    MIAMI, FL, July 07, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Emerging solar solutions company PWRstation achieves a time-to-completion record.

During a recent product activation in the cleantech city of Moutier in Switzerland, PWRstation succeeded in doing what the industry is striving to achieve - install solar energy systems in record time.

While global demand for solar energy continues to reach record levels, today's solar installations require custom design, engineering and implementation, making the typical acquisition and installation process long, complicated and costly.

Headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland and with offices in Miami, Florida, PWRstation designs and manufactures preassembled, transportable, activation-ready solar gensets for residential, commercial and off-grid use; uniquely engineered to remove the complexities, time and costs associated with fixed solar installations.

"Today speed to market is an important competitive advantage in the solar industry, and one of PWRstation's hallmarks," says Robert Albertella, PWRstation's co-founder and CEO. "In fact, at PWRstation, we typically use the term "time-to-activation" because there is really no need for us to "complete" a lengthy installation process." Moutier's grid-tied, rooftop PWRstation activation took less than 30 minutes.

City of Moutier Mayor Maxime Zuber who is a staunch supporter of cleantech says, "It is impressive to see solar deployed this rapidly and easily. PWRstation brings an innovative and practical dimension to the solar equation."

PWRstation co-founder and Global Chief Business Development Officer Ludovic Roche adds, "Indeed, speed to activation is a great achievement. But the other major advantage of the PWRstation is its transportability."

When the city building where the PWRstation is currently positioned is knocked down later this year for renovation, the PWRstation will be relocated and reactivated at another location, demonstrating the versatility of the devices.

PWRstation Genesis models come with 3 and 5 kilowatt (kW) power ratings and are characterized by their proprietary photovoltaic (PV) racking systems which allow them to retract for transport and unfold for active power generation. A 5 kW Genesis can provide the electricity required to power an average household in developed markets. Early next year the company will introduce the PWRstation Oasis with power ratings of 50 kW and100kW.

This year distributed (non-utility) photovoltaic systems (DPV) --i.e., those sized 100 kW or smaller--are expected to account for 30 percent of global installations. PWRstation product solutions, which by Q1, 2016 will range between 3 kW and 100 kW, are ideally suited to address growing demand for DPV in the residential, commercial and off-grid sectors in developed and developing markets.
