Vis Solis presents MLD -- Maximum Light Detection from DEGERenergie in booth #7645 at Intersolar North America

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tennessee PV developer Vis Solis, Inc. and the German Energy Agency (dena), dedicated its first United States solar project in a Private Public Partnership on April 25^th, 2013 with the Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany, Christoph Sander, TDEC Commissioner Bob Martineau and Mayor Tom Beehan at the Heritage Center in Oak Ridge. The project was developed in conjunction with dena and Germany's leading solar and dual-axis, maximum light detection tracking systems manufacturer, DEGERenergie.

Seven ground-mounted trackers with 28 solar panels on each tracker make up the 50 kilowatt photovoltaic solar array installed on the former duct bank of a brownfield in Oak Ridge Tennessee.  The innovative, maximum light detection technology from DEGERenergie will produce an estimated 40 percent more energy than a traditional ground mounted system or approximately 91,000 kilowatt hours a year.

The Heritage Center solar installation in Oak Ridge, Tennessee is the first U.S. partnership in dena's Solar Roofs Program portfolio. Since 2004, dena has taken part in over 50 solar projects across the globe to bring together rising international interest in German solar technology and help expand global solar markets.

Vis Solis is now presenting this exciting technology and sharing its experience for the first time in booth 7645 at the German Pavilion.
