Fueling Growth through New Hires and Service Expansions

Ft. Washington, PA. - July 7, 2011 - Tecta Solar, a division of Tecta America Corp., has opened a new office just outside of Philadelphia, in Fort Washington, Pa. to provide its expanding team a sustainable, local office for its solar development, finance and engineering operations.  Increasing demand for solar technology from East Coast clients prompted three new solar hires in the region for Tecta America, the largest commercial roofing company in the U.S.  The expanded team will provide regional and national clients of Tecta with a center of expertise for solar solutions based on clients' unique goals and full capture of local and federal incentives. 

"With over 22 MWp built or now under construction on the East Coast, Tecta Solar looks forward to expanding our depth of expertise," says Ken Beiser, Managing Director of Tecta Solar.  "We've recently completed three major installations north of Philadelphia, and have many opportunities in the Mid-Atlantic region."

Recent jobs include a 510-kWp system for Harleysville Insurance in Harleysville, Pa., a 400-kWp system at global pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline in Upper Providence, Pa., and a 409-kWp system to be announced in the coming weeks.

"With a unique set of developers and financial specialists supporting the largest roofing contractor in the U.S., Tecta Solar offers corporations, institutions, and utility companies efficient funding and top-notch installation expertise," added Beiser.  In addition to rooftop installs, Tecta's professionals undertake solar work on landfills and other challenging ground based installations.

Tecta Solar is a turnkey solar developer handling all project aspects from site development and financing options to installation and ongoing maintenance.  With Tecta Solar's expertise in roofing systems and solar technologies, they provide warranty solutions covering both roofs and solar installations.  This is unique in the solar industry and ensures a single point of responsibility for Tecta Solar clients.
