ATAS International
ATAS International, a leading manufacturer of metal roofing, wall and ceiling panels, offers green systems for commercial and residential buildings, including a building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system. ATA-Solar is a thin-film solar laminate applied to a standing seam metal roof to generate renewable solar power. ATA-Solar comes in a variety of systems from 1.5kW to 120kW and the laminate is applied to the standing seam roof in a factory-controlled environment. BP Solar BP Solar is a global company with more than 2,200 employees focused on harnessing the sun’s energy to produce solar power for electricity. BP Solar designs, manufactures and markets solar electric systems for home-owners, businesses and governments. Reliability and longevity are built into BP photovoltaic solar cells and modules, which undergo rigorous internal tests and external certifications to ensure peak performance and safety. Canadian Solar Canadian Solar Inc., is a vertically integrated manufacturer of ingots, wafers, cells, solar modules (panels) and custom-designed solar power applications. Canadian Solar delivers solar power products of uncompromising quality to customers worldwide. Custom-Bilt Metals Now there’s a thin-film laminate integrated with a standing seam metal roof with aesthetic, environmental and cost-saving benefits. For both commercial and residential applications, FusionSolar is manufactured for Custom-Bilt Metals by United Solar Ovonic, the world leader in thin-film technologies and solar electric laminates. FusionSolar is bonded directly to the standing seam roof panels in the factory. The flexibility and durability of the laminate makes it ideal for metal roofs, where expansion, contraction and curving are considerations. Day4 Energy Day4 designs and manufactures high-performance solar electric modules based on a patented Day4 Electrode technology. The Day4 Electrode produces modules of high-power density, increased lifetime and uncompromised aesthetic appearance. Day4 partners with international technology leaders to develop and deliver IEC- and UL-certified solar solutions to customers throughout Europe and North America. Englert An Englert standing seam metal roof provides the critical platform for the SunNet, thin film photovoltaic modules and laminates that help consumers supplement their energy needs for residential and commercial facilities with renewable solar energy. SunNet Building Integrated Photovoltaic Systems capture energy from the sun and convert it to electricity throughout the day generating in many cases all of the necessary energy a home or building requires. The photovoltaic laminate is manufactured of a flexible, extremely lightweight and unbreakable, self adhesive material that is less than a quarter-inch thick and is easily attached to the standing seam roof panels either before or after roof installation. An Englert metal roof is ideal because of the uniformity and stability of its surface and the ability to paint metal to custom colors to match the laminates. SunNet comes in a variety of product configurations with power ratings from 68W to 136W ET Solar ET Trackers are built on state-of-the-art technologies and offer innovative solutions to commercial and utility scale solar power plants. The tracking system portfolio includes both dual axis trackers and single axis trackers. PowerTrack series is designed for groun-mounted installations and capable of weathering a variety of harsh operating conditions (strong wind, marine and desert). In particular, they offer unparalleled wind load up to 177 km/h or 110 mph. Evergreen Solar String Ribbon solar panels are made by state of the art manufacturing using a proprietary, low-cost wafer technology. Evergreen manufactures everything — wafers, cells and panels — all under one roof for ultimate quality control. Fabral Fabral offers an efficient and reliable solar solution for both standing seam and exposed fastener roofing applications. Harvesting energy from the sun, Fabral’s Solar SSR, a photovoltaic (BIPV) solar laminate, produces electricity — ranging from 1.5kw and up — when exposed to sunlight and offers a green and sustainable solution for residential, post frame, light commercial and industrial metal roofing projects. The Solar SSR panel offers an ROI of 10 years or less and comes with a 25-year warranty. LMCurbs Install a leak-free, cost-effective solar assembly using the S-5-PV kits. The concept of mingling photovoltaic arrays with standing seam metal roofing is growing — and for good reasons. A standing seam metal roof has a life expectancy consistent with that of crystalline PV modules. A 30-year power source on a 30-year roof with zero penetrations couples the most sustainable roof system available with alternative power generation. Mitsubishi Electric Mitsubishi Electric solar power products include photovoltaic modules that gather energy from the sun and release it as electricity that can power your home or office. Through solar power technology Mitsubishi Electric is promoting widespread usage of renewable sources of energy. Installing a solar power system in your residence or commercial facility is something you can do right now to save on energy costs while helping protect the planet. Premium Panels The Colorado company stocks and sells self-adhering hybrid PV solar panels for residential and commercial applications. REC Solar REC Solar, Inc. specializes in grid-tied solar electric design and installation, offering the latest technology, state of the art equipment, and financing opportunities for all commercial and residential customers. S-5! Solutions Installing a leak-free solar assembly is an easy process with the S-5-PV Kit and S-5! mini clamps. The patented design of the attachment clamp and attendant round-point setscrews enables an entire installation without a single penetration of the roof’s surface. The S-5! mini clamps are a handy way to install everything from the PV modules to the electrical chases. Providing flexibility S-5! offers two kits to accommodate various PV frame thicknesses. Sanyo Solar HIT Power solar panels are leaders in sunlight conversion efficiency. Obtain maximum power within a fixed amount of space. Save money using fewer system attachments and racking materials and reduce costs by spending less time installing per watt. HIT Power models are ideal for grid-connected solar systems, areas with performance based incentives and renewable energy credits. Schott Solar Schott Solar has 51 years of experience within the solar industry and is one of today’s global cutting-edge manufacturers, uniting photovoltaic competence and know-how in receiver technology for solar power plants in one hand. Schüco Solar Schüco provides state-of-the-art aluminum window and façade systems as well as energy efficient solar technology. Sharp Solar Sharp offers a vast portfolio of proven solar solutions, including both monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon. Siliken Solar Siliken Renewable Energy is engaged in the business of engineering, procurement and construction, turnkey solar solutions, sale and development of commercial and utility scale grid-tied photovoltaic solar systems. Siliken has extensive Vertical Integration by manufacturing its own electronics-grade silicon, inverters, production equipment and PV solar panel modules. Silverback Solar Silverback Solar is a unique engineered racking solution for solar and solar thermal. It utilizes stronger materials, is lighter in weight and has a proven watertight attachment system. The ability for longer spans that require fewer roof penetrations make it a lower cost installation. It also allows the unique flexibility to be installed above rooftop equipment and can be configured for any wind or snow load. Solarfun Solarfun is a leading global manufacturer of photovoltaic cells and modules. SolarWorld The SolarWorld Group is one of the largest solar energy businesses in the world. SolarWorld’s family of companies are dedicated exclusively to the business of solar energy, combining all stages of the solar photovoltaic value chain, from the raw material silicon to turn-key solar power plants. SunPower SunPower says its products are up to 50 percent more efficient than the competition and generate about two times the power with the same roof space. As a result, SunPower has the largest install base in North America — including homes, commercial sites and utilities. Suntech Whether you are looking for energy efficient and cost effective Monocrystalline and Polycrystalline products or the company’s cutting edge Building Integrated Photovoltaic MSK Solar Design Line products, Suntech has the right products for any project.
