BALTIMORE - May 19, 2015 - Applied Energy Technologies (AET), a preferred supplier of commercial and utility-scale racking systems and one of the top 10 solar racking companies in the United States, was selected by Empower Energies to provide its Rayport-B roof ballast mounting system at GMs Baltimore Operations facility in White Marsh, MD.
