DCE Solar‘s Eco-Top Rooftop Mounting Structure now complies with the UL 3741 Standard, a certification that ensures the implementation of proper photovoltaic hazard controls.

As first reported in Solar Power World Online, DCE’s Eco-Top mount uses an integrated wire management system to create more workspace, eliminating additional wire management raceways and accessories. North-South rails include a wire support channel for integrated home run wire management and cable support.

Eco-Top has a direct racking-to-module frame bolt-through fastening and east-west rail support for proper roof load distribution and structural connectivity. It’s designed to reduce the risk of solar cell microfractures and increase kilowatt-hour production. 

DCE Solar said the system uses fewer mechanical attachments and ballast blocks than previous racking models, saving money on material and labor. Additionally, being UL 3741-compliant eliminates the need for module-level power electronics on arrays, which may translate into additional cost savings.

“Passing the UL 3741 certification for our Eco-Top Roof-Top solution underscores our dedication to safety, innovation, and efficiency in the solar industry,” said Bill Taylor, CEO of DCE Solar. “This certification not only validates the quality of our product but also provides our customers with the confidence that they are investing in a top-tier, secure solar solution.”
