Why should I consider open racks versus enclosed storage systems?
There are a few solid reasons. First, since the construction costs are much lower than covered systems, the payback on open racks is substantially more rapid. Second, the permit process for open racks is usually much easier, faster, and far more affordable. Third, the actual construction of open racks is much quicker than covered systems. This puts the dry stack operation into service on a fast track, which jump-starts the revenue stream. Fourth, free-standing rack systems are more flexibly configured, allowing the dry stack to be installed in affordable phases.
