Often Solar Systems are mounted on rooftops. There are infinite variations of roof-mounted solar systems. They can be residential, commercial or custom applications. Most common are residential houses (domiciles) and commercial buildings. Roofs can be pitched or flat (known as low pitched). There are wide variations of roof types, pitches, materials and design configurations. There are hip roofs, gable roofs, S-tile roofs, W-tile roofs, shingle roofs, built-up roofs, modified bitumen roofs, TPO roofs, EPDM and many other variations. The bottom line is that we have solutions for all of them. By building code all roofs must meet standards for wind ratings and fire safety. We design all of our systems to the highest possible standards, using the most appropriate technologies for the particular type of roof we are installing on. See the below sampling of manufacturers that we most often use and we deem as being at the top of their field.
Ironridge
Iron ridge – Built for Solar’s toughest roofs. IronRidge builds the strongest mounting system for pitched roofs in solar.
