February 22, 2008—REC Solar, a rapidly growing solar installer with a national presence, has introduced a commercial and residential racking system. SolaRak was created by a team of veteran solar engineers working with installers in the field.
The technology simplifies the solar installation process while also decreasing the cost associated with traditional racking solutions, according to the company.
In the past, the solar module manufacturers were the ones concentrating on the research and development of new technologies. However, increasingly competitive market conditions have spurred leading-edge installers, such as REC Solar, to create new technologies to improve the durability and reliability of the completed solar systems.
SolaRak is suitable for both residential and commercial customers because it can be used with almost every type of solar panel from any manufacturer, the company says. In addition, the racking system adapts to any type of roof and uses minimal roof penetrations to ensure a leak-proof fit.
SolaRak has received positive feedback from REC Solar’s customer focus groups because the low profile installation improves esthetics, creating a clean and modern look to any roof.
