Nova Solar is a family-owned company founded by two brothers, Barklie and Trip Estes. In early 2019, when Barklie was searching for panel attachments they could use without metal flashing, he got in touch with Roof Tech and began using the RT-MINI on their residential projects.
Jeremy Kaiser, Lead Roof Installer for Smart Energy Today, has been an enthusiastic ambassador for Roof Tech ever since he first learned about RT products. Since December 2020,
Hays Energy Operations Manager Keiana Kavanaugh first learned about Roof Tech in 2017 while working for another company, and she immediately recognized the benefits of RT-MINI.
Matt Juge, Director of Surveys and Storage Technology for TriSMART, had heard good things about Roof Tech even before he started his current job. “At my last company, a sales organization had already designed and engineered their first project using a rail-less system with Roof Tech,” he recalled.
Robb Marshall, Materials Logistics Manager for Greenlight Solar, first learned about Roof Tech in January 2019. “A local supplier in our office complex already knew about Roof Tech and referred us to them,” he said. Not long after, Ken Clem, Sales Manager for Roof Tech’s South Central Region, visited Greenlight Solar in person to hand-deliver product samples to Marshall.
Gina Marzano Farese remembers running on rooftops at a young age and later began working side-by-side with construction crews helping to rip out and install roofing. Her father, Gary Marzano, also grew up on construction sites and is now the owner and president of Marcor Construction Roofing & More on Long Island. Today, Farese owns the solar division of Marcor and manages all the company’s solar accounts, working closely with builders, developers, and homeowner associations. “Roofing is a huge part of solar and roofers need to understand how to make the two work together,” she explained.
