Listen to our story on Allegheny Front radio

Solar energy has gone big time, and Talan Products is part of the charge.

At Talan Products, which manufactures the metal mounting systems that hold solar panels in place on roofs, solar energy has gone from 3 percent of the company’s business to 18 percent in just five short years.

That success was recently recognized by the Allegheny Front, an award-winning public radio program covering environmental issues in Western Pennsylvania, which recently reported on Talan and the increasing use of solar.

In the report, Rick Umoff, of the trade group Solar Energy Industries Association, speaks with Talan CEO Steve Peplin about the industry’s grown and the company’s role in it. Umoff says he expects employment in the solar industry to reach 200,000 next year — more than double what it was just a decade ago – and some of that growth will be at Talan, which anticipates adding 75 employees in the next few years as a result of rapid sales increases.

We were honored to be featured on Allegheny Front and are immensely proud of the customers, employees and suppliers who are helping our company succeed in such a worthwhile and environmentally responsible industry.
