If solar integration has been on your mind for either commercial or industrial use, you’ll be thrilled with the news of DCE Solar’s newly UL 3741 certified Eco-Top rooftop solar mounting structure. It’s a significant milestone that has the solar industry buzzing, not only because of the unique features this solar structure offers but because it also ticks all the National Electric Code (NEC) 2020 standards, raising the bars for solar companies worldwide.
Designed to be roof-friendly, the Eco-Top rooftop mounting structure embodies a perfect blend of aerodynamics and structural performance. It prioritizes the integrity of your roof and uses a decreased number of ballast blocks and attachments, thereby reducing roof penetrations and damage.
The structure showcases the industry-leading use of recycled rubber ballast pads that bolster vibration reduction and extend protection to the roof membrane. Such impressive features punctuate the genius of the Eco-Top’s design and establish the new set standards for solar companies.
Interestingly, the Eco-Top makes a remarkable reduction in the amount of mechanical attachments and ballast blocks needed, resulting in significant savings in both material and labor costs.
Furthermore, DCE Solar has gone the extra mile to provide options tailored to suit your needs. They offer the Eco-Top High Density variant that promises up to 20% increased capacity with optimum wattage per square foot and the Eco-Top-MR, which is ideal for metal roofs.
This solar array for your home is constructed with g115 galvanized steel, ensuring durability. Unique features such as an integral wind deflector and a built-in vibration resistance further enhance the system’s stability while also functioning as a ballast tray.
As a solar expert, one of my favorite features of the Eco-Top is its versatility. It offers fastening via serrated flange heads and supports all major module brands. It also includes integral grounding and bonding, and all nuts are wax coated to eliminate galling.
The structure has a commendable rating for an average dead load of 3.5 psf, or 90 mph wind, providing the capacity for a flat, 5 degrees, or 10-degree angle tilt.
Bill Taylor, the CEO of DCE Solar, noted that the UL 3741 certification not only validates the quality of the Eco-Top but provides confidence to customers seeking a secure solar solution. This truly affirms the reputation of DCE Solar, as they remain dedicated to providing innovative and efficient products in the market.
In essence, the new era of solar panels for your home has been defined with the introduction of the Eco-Top; it’s yet another testament to the giant strides in solar technology. Whether you’re a high-density user or one with a metal rooftop, there’s an Eco-Top variant tailored to meet your needs.
