Owners, investors, and insurers can reduce exposure to foundation failure risk or implement cost effective failure abatement. Aquasoli’s risk assessment and mitigation strategies can save thousands on the dollar over failure remediation. We can screen a single PV facility or an entire portfolio for hidden liability.
The cost and time pressures inherent in PV projects often interfere with deploying proven reliable foundation technologies. Geotechnical consultants with deep and solar specific experience are rare. Consequently ground mount PV projects and facilities can hide latent foundation failure risk. The cost of remediating foundation failure is many times the cost of risk assessment and abatement: millions versus thousands of dollars.
To secure profit and long-term reliability, our phased approach starts with risk screening and ends at the abatement level required for satisfactory mitigation. This approach optimizes risk reduction for each dollar spent...
Developers, EPCs and Investors can vet sites faster and more accurately with AquaSoli’s Pre-Site Assessment Services and support purchase negotiations with our Permit-Ready Site Assessment Services. We reduce risk by assessing development potential from the ground up.
Pre-Site Assessment
Fast and accurate pre-site assessment vetting reduces investment risk and project development costs by aiding early go/no go decisions. Starting with just an address, AquaSoli analyzes remote site data and provides first order foundation, layout and site designs with estimates for production capacity and development costs.
Permit-Ready Site Assessment
Third party review of permit-ready sites characterizes investment value. Existing design studies are evaluated and pertinent data is leveraged to prepare independent conceptual design and estimates. Quantified findings are used to verify vendor claims.
Developers and EPCs can establish sole source responsibility for geotech, foundations and project coordination to optimize performance and reduce failure risk.
AquaSoli combines geotech, load testing, foundation design and installation QAQC into an accountable project deliverable. Our comprehensive site analysis results in specific recommendations that will help EPCs make project-enhancing design decisions.
The Ground Component consists of the interrelated elements that effect foundation performance and cost:
• Geotech, load testing, foundation design and installation QAQC
• Rack selection and layout
• Civil/site design and grading
• Storm water management and O&M
Optimizing this Ground Component minimizes foundation failure risk and drives project profit and performance.

SOLON Andromeda is an innovative system using a modular approach for power plant design.
The individual components no longer have to be laboriously designed for each individual project , but rather their interaction and compatibility have already been exhaustively matched and tested, combining them into turnkey units for maximum performance. These 1 MW clusters, the SOLON Andromeda building block, can be scaled up to any power plant size, and can also still be adapted to individual site conditions. That saves time and money.
From start to finish SOLON manages your project with experience and guarantees. With over 250MW of systems installed worldwide, and over 1GW of modules producing power, SOLON provides the know-how to complete your project on-time and on-budget.
Revolutionizing rooftops, SOLON SOLquick's innovative design for flat roofs integrated the solar module and mount into one unit for a fast, easy and tool-free installation. Frameless modules are installed on the unit an an inclination of 10 degrees to ensure maximum area and energy optimization. The unique flat-roof system is suitable for all roof types with a carrying load capacity of less than 2.8 lbs psf.
Whatever the area, SOLON has a solution for your PV system needs.
Trinamount III installs up to 4 times faster than conventional mounting systems. Auto-grounded hardware requires only a single ground lug per horizontal row. In total, the Trinamount III system requires only seven different parts: this means 80% fewer parts than conventional systems and 66% fewer SKUs to process.
Trinamount II installs up to 4.5 times faster than conventional mounting systems and offers retail savings of $0.30-0.50 per watt. Auto-grounding hardware requires only a single ground bolt for every 72 modules. This reduces roof penetrations during installation by up to 35%, and overall parts count by 80%.
Trinamount I installs up to 5 times faster than conventional mounting systems. Trinamount connects directly to the module frame and eliminates the need for long rails.
Shunt INSPECT
The shuntometer is a simple low cost set-up to determine the location of short-circuits (shunts). It allows a quick identification of material or processing problems and helps to prevent hot-spots which can occur when at the module level. The manual system can detect all major shunts in large area reverse biased solar cells. It therefore allows the imaging of large numbers of cells in a short time.
Our product range includes Solar Simulators for modules,

Utilizing the core benefits of Zep System II, Zep System III™ drastically reduces parts count, material cost, and installation time for commercial rooftop systems.
Zep System II offers the fastest and least expensive way to install PV arrays for flush-mount roof applications. Zep System II is designed to operate with Zep Compatible PV modules. Utilizing quarter-turn, rock-in, and drop-in connections, Zep System II eliminates the need for rails and separate grounding hardware while offering a superior aesthetic approach.
Utilizing the core benefits of Zep System II, Zep System III™ drastically reduces parts count, material cost, and installation time for commercial rooftop systems.
Zep System I offers the fastest and least expensive way to install PV arrays for flush-mount tile roof applications. With its ability to optimize attachment point spacing in both east-west and north-south axes, Zep System I can offer a 25% reduction in roof attachment points dramatically reducing the amount of time spent on the roof. With a series of drop-in, rock-in, and quarter-turn connections, Zep System I in-stalls without the use of lengthy rails and separate grounding hardware and is universally adaptable to third-party roof attachment solutions such as tile-hooks, hanger bolts, and flashed standoffs.
