SunLink® Corporation announced the installation of its non-penetrating rooftop solar module mounting solution by Cupertino Electric, Inc. (CEI) at the recently completed 1 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic project at the Port of Los Angeles’ World Cruise Center in Los Angeles, Calif. CEI built the landmark project using the SunLink Roof Mount System (RMS), the leading commercial rooftop mounting solution, installed on over 180 MW of projects at 900 sites across North America. The Port of Los Angeles solar project is part of the “Solar LA Program,” one of the world’s largest solar power projects undertaken by a single city. Over its lifetime, the solar system will reduce the Port’s carbon footprint the equivalent of cutting 4,367 cars off the road according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Christopher Tilley, CEO, SunLink, said, “We were pleased to work with CEI and the Port on this milestone project for Los Angeles. As the market leader in commercial rooftop installations, we bring a vast amount of expertise and proven technology to ensure a safe, easy-to-install and cost-effective solar power system.”
“We chose SunLink for the Port of Los Angeles project because of the company’s ability to offer a non-penetrating solution that met the Port’s specifications,” said Meisa Kassis, Project Manager, Cupertino Electric, Inc. “By using SunLink’s ballasted mounting solution, we were able to meet the Port’s requirements and preserve the long-term integrity of the roof.”
