Short-Rails vs. Rail-less Mounting: Choosing Your Solar Path! The Metal Roofing Academy 2023-11-29 | Looking to install solar panels on your metal roof? Join us in this insightful exploration of two popular attachment methods: short-rails and rail-less mounting. Discover the nuances and make an informed decision for your solar project.Rail-Based vs. Rail-Less Systems - 0:00In the solar game, it's all about choosing the right attachment method. Rail-based installations use continuous metal rails, while rail-less systems directly attach mounting components to the roof. Enter short-rails – a cutting-edge mounting system gaining traction. But how do they stack up against rail-less alternatives?Consideration 1: Holding Strength - 0:53The key factor to weigh is the inherent holding strength of each technique. Short-rails, attached straight into roof ribs, may face challenges with uplift resistance. S-5!'s RibBrackets and ProteaBracket, on the other hand, secure into the sides of roof ribs, converting uplift forces into shear forces for unmatched holding strength. Rigorous testing ensures a robust attachment, reducing the risk of panel movement under various environmental conditions.Consideration 2: Installation Efficiency - 2:02Short-rails require meticulous layout and precise measurements before solar panel installation begins. In contrast, S-5! Brackets for rail-less mounting streamline the process. With only the first row of clamps to measure, solar modules serve as a guide for on-the-fly attachment placement. Efficiency meets precision!Consideration 3: Weatherproofing Technology - 2:43Don't overlook weatherproofing – a crucial detail for long-lasting solar systems. Some short rails feature open-cell EPDM foam, potentially compromising water resistance. S-5!'s RibBracket and ProteaBracket employ closed-cell EPDM, a cured, rigid rubber that's completely sealed for unparalleled water-tightness. Certified to pass ASTM E2140, our seals stand up to the most scrutinizing flood tests.Value for the Long Run - 4:00While RibBracket and ProteaBracket may carry a slightly higher upfront cost, the investment pays off with enhanced longevity, a secure attachment, reduced potential for leaks, and a lifetime warranty. When considering the long service life of your roof and solar array, choosing durability is choosing wisely.Explore More at S-5.com - 4:19Ready to dive deeper into the world of solar mounting?

PVKIT The Metal Roofing Academy 2023-10-12 | Just north of Auckland, on the outskirts of town, is a natural forested area and a local working farm. Located on the farm is a newly developed gated community with approximately 20 architecturally designed modern homes. Taspac Energy, a wholesaler and distributor of solar energy solutions across all market segments in the New Zealand solar industry, provided the solar mounting system for one of the residences, which features two buildings on site. The secondary building features a standing seam metal roof with a 12.6 kW solar array secured in place utilizing the S-5! PVKIT direct-attach, rail-less, solar solution.The S-5! system provides a simple, secure method to “lay & play” PV modules with tested, engineered, cost-saving, direct-attachment onto the seams of the metal roof.

Supercharging Solar: How the Inflation Reduction Act Transforms the U.S. Solar Market 🌞📈 The Metal Roofing Academy 2023-08-23 | Discover how the recent Inflation Reduction Act is set to revolutionize the U.S. solar market! With a target of achieving 30% of U.S. electricity generation from solar by 2030, this legislation brings exciting changes that could impact your solar journey.☀ The Role of Metal Roofs in the Solar Equation ☀Thinking long-term? So are we! Consider this: solar panels last around 35 years, but metal roofing surpasses that with a service life of 50-70 years. Harness the unmatched durability of metal roofing as the ultimate foundation for solar. Not only does it save on installation costs, but it also ensures a better ROI by aligning the lifespans of your roof and solar assets.As solar-integrated structures become the norm, innovation in mounting solutions will soar, creating harmonious building-roof-PV systems.

Achieving LEED sustainability made easy with Studio 804 Masters Program and S-5! Products The Metal Roofing Academy 2023-08-08 | Studio 804 is a hands-on learning program at the University of Kansas for graduate students in their final year of studies seeking a Master of Architecture degree. Founded in 1995 by Professor Dan Rockhill, each year students design, procure and execute a complete house in just nine months. The students had clearly defined sustainability goals and set out to achieve LEED platinum status with a solar PV mounting system that provided a simple, economical and penetration-free method for direct attachment of modules to the roof. They also required a fully engineered snow retention system that would both match the roof and last the life of the roof.The students at Studio 804 chose the low-profile PVKIT solar mounting solution (in black) that is warranted for the life of the solar system, has aesthetic appeal and did not damage the roof. And they were able to reduce the home’s electricity consumption by about 85%. After the PVKIT installation was completed, Studio 804 again turned to S-5! for a snow retention system that would last for decades to come. S-5! ColorGard was the perfect solution as it blended form and functionality perfectly. The clean datum line it provides along the eaves of the roof does not distract from the architectural form Studio 804 set out to achieve. The ColorGard system also provides the safety and functionality Studio 804 wanted for the winter months.S-5!
