The SunLock
SoCore Energy
The SunLock™ is a ballasted, modular photovoltaic (PV) mounting solution designed for flat-roof commercial buildings. The tool-less approach of the SunLock™ makes installation easy and cost effective. Solar panels and micro-inverters are pre-assembled, tested and approved by an engineer before they arrive at a customers facility. Assembled SunLock™ units stack up for convenient shipping and transport. Integrating micro-inverter technology at the panel-level allows for unprecedented system flexibility not seen before in the solar industry. This allows roof access for cleaning or repairs without shutting down an entire array. If for any reason disassembly or reconfiguration of a portion of an installation is needed, the SunLock can be stacked up and transported with ease.

Horribly sad to see this. These companies are hurting the real design world.

Articles like 'these companies are hurting the real world', don't make sense. Supply, demand and innovation has always displaced business models that no longer serve the public interest. There are thousands of examples. Innovation always displaces industries that thought they were the answer...until someone comes up with a better one. CrowdSPRING is a better model. Period.

wow really cool!

Not sure why you'd consider crowdSPRING for an "innovation" award. Their business model is completely copied from 99designs (http://99designs.com) who launched before cS (in fact, 99designs was a spin-off from Site Point forums who've been doing this kind of thing for years). Even more telling, crowdSPRING had their logo designed BY 99designs.
