Commercial Rooftop Market
Double Commercial Installs = $3+B PV Mrkt Increase
Commercial Market Uses 36% of U.S. Energy… BUT Only accounts for 15% of PV Installs Each Year
Addressable U.S. Commercial Rooftop = 145 GW Market ($200B in potential installations)
Why All the Empty Rooftops?
Problem: Higher Efficiency Needed for Commercial Investments without Government Subsidies.
Natural Gas LCOE = 3.6¢/kWh
Coal LCOE = 4.1¢/kWh
Fixed Solar LCOE = 4.5¢/kWh
Rocking Solar Benefit: Power Boost of ~50% resulting in 22% lower cost of install for the same daily production.
Rocking Solar LCOE = 3.5¢/kWh

Problem
Wind, Weight, Flexibility, Economics
- Dual Tilt = High GCR but Low Panel Efficiency
- Ballast System = Too Heavy for 20% of Roofs
- Fixed Tilt = Wind Issues & Roof Penetrations
- Utility Trackers = Most Economic but Too
Tall and Too Many Penetrations
Need Better Flexible Economic Solution!
Solution
- Increase Solar Efficiency by >30%.
- Reduce Weight by 50%
- Height Profile 14” to 26”
- Wind/Snow Defense Control System
- Utility Tracker Proven Components
- Each Rocker Rated to 2000 LBS
- Modular Design for Flexible Install
- Semi Portable (Few/No Penetrations)
15 to 22% Improvement in LCOE
Other Markets Include: Capped Landfills, Rotating of Agriculture Fields, and other low slope applications where permanent Ground Mounts are not desired.
