Another German company in the solar-energy industry is making a home in Tucson.

Schletter Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of solar mounting systems, has set up U.S. operations in Tucson at 2520 N. Jackrabbit Ave.

The company joins another company with German roots, Solon America Corp. — a subsidiary of Berlin-based Solon AG — which also is partial owner of Tucson-based Global Solar Energy Inc., a maker of thin-film solar photovoltaics.

Schletter has worked in the design and manufacturing of steel and aluminum products over the course of more than 40 years in Europe and has supplied utility-sized photovoltaic projects. Its 22,000-square-foot Tucson facility will design, develop and manufacture Schletter products.

The company expects to have up to 15 employees in Tucson by the end of 2008 and up to 40 by the end of 2009.
