SunConnect, a leading Pittsburgh-based developer and technology provider of photovoltaic (PV) arrays, has received the Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) listing on its entire Clearview Racking System. The only racking system in the rooftop solar industry to receive this certification, the Clearview Racking System is designed to hold PV panels firmly in place, yet will allow PV panels to be moved quickly out of the way in the event of a roof leak.

“We are extremely pleased with this listing from UL, the world’s most respected testing and evaluation organization,” commented Gary Kassem, President of SunConnect. “We designed this system to be the standard of quality for the rooftop solar industry, and are gratified that our efforts stood up to months of rigorous scrutiny. The industry demanded that someone step up and set a new standard for quality and safety. We expect others to quickly follow our lead.”

Constructed of extruded aluminum and stainless steel, the Clearview Racking System is not susceptible to corrosion and has a projected lifespan of 40 years – a timeframe equal to that of most PV arrays.

Engineered to allow building owners to operate their buildings more cost effectively, the Clearview Racking System eliminates the need for costly disassembly of rooftop PV systems if routine roof maintenance or emergency repairs are needed. By allowing PV panels to quickly be moved out of the way, the system can significantly shorten the duration of water infiltration into the structure, minimize water damage inside the building, and accelerate the pace of repair operations.
