We have completed the design, engineering and installation of the 526-kilowatt (“kW”) roof mount solar system for AESSEAL, Inc., a specialist in the design and manufacture of mechanical seals and support systems. The system was installed at AESSEAL’s North American headquarters in Rockford, Tennessee. Soon, a large portion of the assembly, quality control, engineering and customer service operations at this facility will be running on power from the sun. This is one of the largest commercial solar installations in the region.

As Solar Alliance CEO Myke Clark noted earlier in 2022, “This solar project is a testament to AESSEAL’s commitment to sustainable business practices and also to reducing their operating costs through solar energy.”

AESSEAL, Inc. Operations Manager Chris Staakmann said, “We will help drive by leading by example, to push for the changes the environment needs. We are committed to our customer. We are committed to the environment.” The solar installation fits with AESSEAL’s continued efforts to operate at Net Zero.
Design for the project atop the 50,000 square foot facility included a combination of flush mount and ballasted roof mount racking, to accommodate variations in industrial roofing. Solar Alliance provided the engineering and electrical support for the project, as well as coordination with its East Tennessee based construction crew to install the system.
Solar Alliance heads into 2023 with a backlog of commercial projects like this, as the demand for renewable energy options increases.
