Ontario Green Energy Act

KB Racking is releasing its revolutionary AeroRack model for the Canadian market place at Canada’s largest solar conference next week. The Canadian affiliate of Knubix GmbH Germany, a global leader in flat roof mounting systems, will reveal its ideal-in-class racking system at the CanSIA Solar Canada show. KB Racking can be found at booth #828 in the Toronto Metro Convention Center on December 6th and 7th.

The company’s flagship product, AeroRack, employs a special aerodynamic style that demands practically no ballast. Even with the weight of the solar PV module, the method adds less than 2 lbs per square foot to a roof. The system is designed so that roof penetration is unnecessary. In addition, the mounting uses a patented speedy click approach that makes it quicker to install than conventional mounting systems. KB Racking’s experience with difficult roofs in Europe demonstrates the advanced technique’s effectiveness for Ontario’s structurally weaker roofs. AeroRack has been tested in extreme windy and snowy weather conditions and comfortably exceeds all specifications for the Ontario industry.

The item will be produced in Ontario, utilizing Canadian labour and facilities. This makes it eligible for the domestic content material rules outlined in the Ontario Energy Authority’s FIT program. AeroRack will contribute to the creation of new jobs in Ontario as a result of the Green Energy Act.

KB Racking is making friends in high places. Ontario Minister of Energy Brad Duguid visited the manufacturer of solar panel racking systems at their booth at the CanSIA Solar Canada 2010 show to congratulate them on the launch of the AeroRack product line. Minister Duguid welcomed KB Racking?s decision to do business in Ontario and spoke with the KB Racking team about how the product will be manufactured in the province.

The Minister was very enthusiastic about our decision to come to Ontario and expressed significant interest in our technology, design and implementation, said Peter Aulich, KB Racking’s product manager. The province’s support for renewable energy is fantastic. We’re excited to be contributing to the Green Energy Act’s target of 50,000 new jobs in the Ontario renewables sector.

KB Racking, the licensed Canadian manufacturer for Knubix GmbH Germany, selected Knubix?s best-in-class design based on its superior performance in Germany. Knubix has successfully maintained a reputation for high quality and excellent service, which KB Racking will continue. The AeroRack non-penetrating system minimizes structural impact to rooftops by adding less than 2 pounds per square foot, and can be assembled significantly faster than traditional solar PV racking systems. KB Racking will manufacture the AeroRack system in Ontario by February 2011. The first delivery is planned for March 15th, 2011.
