Solar Energy TN - Our Solar Energy Solutions for Tennessee

Huge Cost Savings
With Zep Solar Energy Solutions!

Combined with the substantial PV module price reductions of 2009 & 2010, Zep technology is opening the door to unprecedented solar pricing levels.

With far less material and an incredibly rapid method of installation, the Zep System can realize savings of over $0.50 per Watt or more - that's $2,000 in savings on a typical 4 kW system! And because the Zep System installs many times faster than conventional systems, solar installation companies can install more kWs per crew each day, allowing for better margins on labor and a significant increase in the deployment of solar energy.

ZepSolar's Mission

Our mission at Zep Solar is to advance the proliferation of solar energy through cleverly designed products that optimize the efficiency of such precious resources as time, money, materials, space, and energy while providing our customers with quality products and services. Zep is here to make the jobs of solar installers easier, safer, and more profitable - and, in so doing, to provide a major reduction in the cost of solar power systems. Zep is also deeply committed to the well being of our employees, our communities, and the world. We believe that a world powered by the sun is achievable in our lifetime, and we are committed to solving the problems that appear to be in the way.

Zep Solar History

In the late 1990?s, photovoltaic (PV) systems engineer Jack West, intrigued with the possibilities for improving PV mounting systems, began experimenting with new methods and hardware to decrease materials, labor, and costs while increasing function, acceptance, and aesthetics. After cofounding High Sun Engineering with Christina Manansala in 2000, West spent the next 9 years designing PV systems and perfecting and patenting his solar mounting inventions.

In 2004, West began assembling a team of PV industry veterans, visionary silicon valley product engineers, and angel investors - all focused on the goal of developing and commercializing a whole new approach to PV structure. At the core, this approach is based on a singular vision: solar panel frames rapidly interlocked with specialized couplings to form a solidly grounded, exceptionally rigid structural grid. After 5 years of intensive designing, building, and testing, the realization of this vision - the Zep System - is now being launched in the US.

In 2009, West and Manansala, along with seasoned PV contractor, Daniel Flanigan, cofounded Zep Solar, Inc. to bring this revolutionary mounting system to market. With a solid backbone of PV industry professionals and experienced business executives, Zep's dynamic management team is moving forward to offer the industry Zep Solar's revolutionary PV integration system.
