Andrew Worden,founder and CEO of GameChange Racking in New York City, says the manufacturer’s engineering perspective can actually help open up new markets for solar that had been unreachable due to price. Worden says his idea for the company’s Pour-In-Place™ ballasted ground-mount system came from an observation of how concrete and forms are managed in Manhattan building construction.
“Ballasted ground used to be so expensive,”Wordensays.“It was such an added cost that nobody used it,except in landfill projects where you could get really good economic incentives that would justify paying the huge premiums.”
