Solar Ready Metal Roofing

ATAS International

Standing seam metal roofs are the best choice for crystalline PV and thin film solar panels because, unlike other materials, metal offers the longest service life. When installing a crystalline system that is typically warranted for 25 years of power generation, a building owner is going to benefit from a roofing substrate that has a greater life expectancy than that of the solar panels. Standing seam panels also provide a natural platform for attaching crystalline systems without any roof penetrations. Additionally, highly reflective roofs help keep rooftop temperatures cool, resulting in better performance from solar panels. For more information, visit atas.com.

FlashAnchor Roof Anchors

FlashCo

FlashAnchor Roof Anchors are factory-certified, prefabricated attachments used to secure solar racking and other rooftop equipment to low-slope roofs. FlashAnchors provide a secure, non-penetrating, waterproof connection to the roof deck and substructure. FlashAnchors are constructed with a coated metal plate assembly, stainless steel bolts, and a reinforced membrane. FlashAnchors perform with tensile and shear tests exceeding 1,000 pounds, and work with mechanically fastened, fully adhered, and ballasted roof systems. FlashAnchors are crucial for solar racking as they ensure the structural integrity of the roof and the longevity of the solar roofing system. FlashAnchors are also ideal for support racking and other rooftop applications. Aluminum rack with five horizontal tubes and a mesh panel.
