Silverback Solar Engineered Solar Racking SystemsOver 21,000 of our roof penetrations have been installed nationwide, without a single leak. Traditional solar racking and mounting systems have proven to be inadequate for application on large commercial rooftops. Ballasted systems are often used on wide open flat roofs because they are cheap, but require heavy weights (typically cement blocks) to hold them down, which causes problems with the roof, and makes it extremely difficult to repair and access the roof. Those other tinker toy type mounting systems consisting of aluminum rails and boxes of miscellaneous brackets and hardware are also deficient. They are not strong enough to span very far between attachment points, so they require as many as 4 times the number of penetrations the Silverback System does. And they don't know how to attach to the roof in a way that satisfies the roofer, roof consultant, roof manufacturer, building owner or anyone else that cares about the long term integrity of the roof system. For many PV panel or Solar Thermal installations, Silverback isn't just the smartest solution, it is the only choice. Silverback Solar, engineered solar racking systems were created with three clearly defined objectives: make it bigger and stronger, make it watertight, and stock the parts for quick delivery. Using a legacy of technology from its parent company, RoofScreen Mfg, Inc. - Silverback provides systems of stronger, lighter-weight racks, capable of spanning longer distances that require fewer roof penetrations. The system arrives pre-assembled, making installation smooth and easy. We're not saying a monkey could do it, but the easy-to-follow instructions and complete AutoCAD layouts are a refreshing change for installation crews. Silverback Solar simplifies the process and no doubt this change in approach to the world of solar mounting is a dramatic improvement. The company, founded and operated by roofing system innovators, know that along with the incredible gain in value from having a rooftop solar electric system, comes concerns about what happens to the roof. The good news is Silverback thought that through, and solved the problem. The Silverback design team of mechanical engineers created a unique patented system of watertight connections. So there is never a concern about a single leak, ever. And with more than 21,000 of this type of roof penetration successfully installed, everyone can be comfortable about maintaining the integrity of the roof with a Silverback racking system backing up any size solar array. Professional engineered solutions utilizing solid, lightweight high quality materials are the hallmarks of Silverback Solar racking systems. Silverback Solar
