The clean power projects were constructed by J. Ranck Electric, the top solar installer in the state.

Steve Daniel, EVP of Solar FlexRack, said: “We are pleased to have been selected for this milestone clean energy project in Michigan. The Inovateus Solar team is passionate about their work and brings their extensive experience to bear, delivering quality and reliability in the projects they develop.”

TJ Kanczuzewski, president of Inovateus, added: “We wanted a workhorse racking solution that met our quality standards and held up to the rigors of a large-scale installation such as this. Solar FlexRack's solution has exceeded our requirements.”

The installation of a utility-scale project of this scale is a landmark achievement for Michigan. With 5MW of solar capacity installed in 2015, Michigan ranked 33rd in the country in installed solar capacity according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.
