What is SOLARGLAS

SOLARGLAS composite solar structures are crafted using pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer composite components. These components are manufactured and assembled in our factory, then shipped to the site ready for installation.

 

SOLARGLAS components are lightweight, enabling faster installation, reducing maintenance costs over the structure's lifespan, enhancing quality and durability, and surpassing the performance of steel or aluminum structures.

SOLARGLAS
Solar Roof Tile Mounts

A racking system with reduced components and minimal installation time.

 

Simple design optimized for efficient shipping and skeleton layout to reduce installation time. The racking elevates the roof tile 3-1/2 off the roof deck providing airflow which reduces inverter heat buildup and improves inverter efficiency by 35%. The tile attachments feature UL 2703 and 467 grounding clamps and can sustain up to 150-mph wind load and 50-psf snow load.

 

Features and Benefits

  • 3 Components & Minimal Hardware

  • Elevates the roof tile 3-1/2” off the roof deck reducing heat & increases inverter efficiency by 35%

  • UL 467 & 2703 grounding clamps

  • East West wire ways across entire array

  • North South wire way home runs

  • PE stamped drawings provided

  • Simple skeleton layout before panels

  • Composite Materials Weigh 75-80% Less Than Steel & 30% Less Than Aluminium.

  • Engineered to withstand harsh environments, this material resists rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance in any climate.

  • Lightweight yet incredibly strong, this material outperforms steel in strength-to-weight ratio, providing superior durability without added bulk.

  • Naturally non-conductive, it offers enhanced safety in electrical environments, making it ideal for industrial, utility, and construction applications.

  • Designed for durability and resilience, this material minimizes wear and tear, leading to fewer repairs and lower long-term maintenance expenses.
