AUSTIN – SunPods, Inc., a leading developer of transportable and modular plug-and-play solar power platforms, is pleased to announce they have been selected to compete at the Clean Energy Venture Summit (CEVS) on Oct. 14 and 15 at the AT&T Conference Center. SunPods will be showcasing their SunPods Solar Smart Technology Systems™ on Oct. 15 at 9 a.m. CST. With the price of solar photovoltaic modules dropping, solar array installation cost now represents a higher percentage of overall project cost and cost improvement is necessary. SunPods has answered this need with solar appliances that are pre-engineered, pre-manufactured, and pre-tested in a rigorous factory setting and delivered to projects assembled and ready to power up on arrival. SunPods transportable solar power platforms provide owners with efficient and reliable solar power performance that eliminates the cost, scheduling and performance uncertainties common with most current solar installation methods and systems. About SunPods Imagine placing a call and ordering a photovoltaic array system that is pre-manufactured and pre-tested. Now imagine it delivered to your site in just days – ready to power up instantly. SunPods is the developer and manufacturer of SunPods Solar Smart Technology Systems™. SunPods are the first factory built, ship to project, fully operational, modular solar power platforms. SunPods are transportable and power up on delivery. Once placed onsite, SunPods require only an electrical hookup from the inverter to the power panel to generate clean renewable energy.
