Share

A new partnership will bring the innovative AllEarth Solar Tracker solar electric system to homeowners and businesses throughout North Carolina (NC).

The dealer partnership between local installer NC Solar Now and solar tracker manufacturer AllEarth Renewables, was announced yesterday (Thursday).

The first solar tracker installed by NC Solar Now was commissioned in July in Yadkinville, NC.

With an office in Raleigh, Solar Now is a leading North Carolina residential solar installer. NC Solar Now provides full-service solar installation, design, engineering, and energy-efficiency systems for homes and businesses throughout the state.

Designed and manufactured in Williston, Vermont, AllEarth Solar Trackers use innovative GPS and wireless technology to follow the sun throughout the day to boost solar energy production by up to 45 per cent over rooftop installations. The ground-mounted solar systems are designed for homes, businesses, non-profit organizations, and commercial-scale installations.

A single solar tracker will produce enough to power most of an average home in the region.

"We are committed to meeting the growing needs of our customers and the AllEarth Solar Tracker is a brilliant and welcome addition to our installation options. More and more people in North Carolina are excited about creating their own source of energy and with the AllEarth Tracker, they can optimize their solar production for a quicker return on investment," said Steve Nicolas, president of NC Solar Now.

David Blittersdorf, president and CEO of AllEarth Renewables, said: "We are excited to be partnering with the team at NC Solar Now and for them to be able to offer our product to more customers throughout North Carolina. Designed to produce more energy from the sun, our trackers make solar practical and affordable for homeowners and businesses."

Among its product awards, the dual-axis tracker was named a Top-10 Green Product by BuildingGreen magazine and Top Product of the Year by Solar Power World.

AllEarth Renewables has designed, manufactured, and installed more than 3,200 grid-connected solar tracker systems.
