Insights with Industry Experts: Standing Seam Metal Roof Solar Install at S-5! Manufacturing
At S-5! we put our money where our mouth is when it comes to the environmental benefits of the solar products we sell. In 2021 we installed 202 kW on top of our new manufacturing plant expansion in Iowa Park, Texas. Armed with nothing more than S-5!’s direct-attach™️ PVKITs and S-5-T Mini Clamps, solar modules were installed under the tough Texas heat and we captured it all on video.
Installing rooftop solar without rails is gaining more and more traction in the industry, and metal roofs are the best place to install this way. Why you ask?...because there actually are rails embedded in the metal roofs. With direct-attach solar mounting, you use the seams or ribs and don't need rails.
In this hands-on view of a real project and installation, Mark and Shawn will discuss the do's and don’ts of installing solar on a metal roof. They'll cover the benefits of pairing solar with metal, including material and labor cost savings and most importantly the easier logistics that come with rail-less mounting, because there is no need to transport and lift rails up onto the roof. Join us on our virtual walk-through of our solar installation and gain insight to take back to use on your next project.
