Anthony Borck to Head Unirac Inc.’s New Commercial and Utility Group
ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, October 23, 2009 — Unirac, Inc., North America’s leading manufacturer of solar photovoltaic (PV) mounting solutions, named Anthony (Tony) Borck senior director of the company’s new Commercial and Utility Group.
“My goal is to solidify Unirac’s great reputation as a leader in solar racking and take it fully into the commercial and utilities markets,” Borck said from his office in San Francisco. He will be based there in order to be as close as possible to key customers and prospects. Prior to joining Unirac, Borck was Vice President at the Global Environment Fund (GEF), where he covered the solar industry and worked with a number of solar companies.
“Tony brings to Unirac a tremendous amount of analytic experience dedicated to the commercial and utility solar construction market,” said Doug May, president and CEO of Unirac. “Tony is an experienced, outward-looking executive. His knowledge of the markets and enthusiasm about the mission of solar energy makes him a great choice to further enhance Unirac’s industry-leading support and services. A dedicated, focused organization makes complete sense given the width and breadth of our product line-up.”
The Commercial and Utility Group will collaborate with EPC contractors and integrators. This new group will enhance Unirac’s ability to serve large sophisticated partners across the country and Canada. This new team will primarily focus on Unirac’s new suite of commercial and utility products—ISYS, the new single axis tracker (available later this year) and roof mount solutions.
Borck began his career as an economic analyst at Legg Mason Wood Walker, a Maryland-based investment bank. Pursuing his interest in and commitment to green technologies, he went on to obtain his Master of Business Administration from The George Washington University, where he received the International Business Graduate Award. At GEF he was a vice president with the Clean Technology Group making several investments throughout the renewable energy industry. Borck also holds a Bachelor of Science in business administration, with honors, from Elon University in North Carolina. He grew up in Washington, D.C.

A Pressing Need for Design and Engineering Standards
Renewable Energy World - March 7, 2011 - The solar industry has historically applied its technical resources, research dollars and time to increasing the efficiency, driving down the cost and improving the reliability of modules and inverters. The infrastructure that supports these solar modules, however, has largely been ignored probably because it does not generate any revenue for investors, businesses or homeowners.

Greentech Media - February 28, 2011 - As module prices drop, innovation in BoS and racking becomes even more important. Unirac has a 30 percent market share of the North American solar racking market. Although mounting systems are not the most exciting components in the solar industry, a 30 percent market share is still impressive.

US President sets lofty clean energy goal
pv magazine - January 27, 2011 - While setting an ambitious clean energy goal appeals to solar company executives, many are no doubt wondering what specific plans will get the country there.
