Worried About Holes In Your Roof?

Every day, more homeowners are discovering the economic and climate-friendly benefits of investing in rooftop PV systems. As a result, residential solar installers across the nation are responding with innovative solutions that deliver greater efficiency and lasting value.
With interest rates on the rise, the cost of financing new solar systems has gone up, so installers have to be even smarter about choosing products. Read this month's blog to learn how Solar Power NW's founder, Ryan Lingenfelder, lowers his cost with the RT-APEX.
The temperature in Ontario has extreme variations through the seasons. “We can get extreme cold, down to -30°F in mid-winter, up to a very humid 95°F in summer,” said Boone, “so the butyl rubber on RT-MINI makes it a great choice for us. With RT-MINI, our installers never have to mess around with a caulking gun up on the roof to seal mounting hardware, they simply attach RT-MINI and the seal is secure.” He added, “I can’t imagine ever going back to the old way. RT-MINI II is our go-to mounting product now.”
Stephen Vezina, owner, and operator of TreeTop Solar, Inc. in Nova Scotia, Canada, was intrigued by RT-APEX with AlphaSeal™ from the first time he saw it. “It was a brand-new product from Roof Tech at that time,” he said, “so we decided to give it a try,” Vezina explained that RT-APEX was the first rail-less mounting product his company ever used, and the results were impressive.
