Cantsink Manufacturing announces the next turnkey solution with their new fixed tilt, ground-mounted Brilliant Rack. As Brilliant Rack may be new to the market, Cantsink Manufacturing is not new to the solar industry. After over 40 MW installed, Cantsink received consistent feedback to launch a turnkey solution. They have finally released Brilliant Rack to the market, which was designed with speed and simplicity in mind.
Cantsinks President, Patrick Hutchinson, said, We saw the need for a product that kept it easy in the field and cost competitive in the market. Our history is in construction, and we wanted to design a mounting system that kept the ease of installation in mind first to save time and reduce headaches.
The efficiency of the mounting system starts with the attention to detail in the design. For example, Brilliant Rack contains only two bolts and all the nuts and washers are the same size. The majority of racks on the market have multiple bolt sizes and a multitude of connection pieces, which can be a challenge to keep up with on the job site.
Brilliant Rack is manufactured in the USA, and complies with all domestic production requirements. It was designed for velocity containing fewer components and pre-panelization, which will speed up module installation by up to 50 percent.
With a 3-axis tolerance, the mounting system has a maximum east to west grade up to 10 degrees for flexibility with the topography. This is double the range over most mounting systems in the market. The z-purlin provides for built-in wire management, which also contributes to the speed of installation. It is hot dipped galvanized with a wide flange beam, in lieu of a rolled form shape-provides for additional strength and longevity.
Brilliant Rack already has a demand in the market in the Southeast with over 7 MW being installed in Georgia in the upcoming months. This coming October, they will be launching their display at Solar Power International in Las Vegas.
