Solar SpeedRack has announced that its SpeedMount racking system has been certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) as fully compliant with its standard 1703. The standard regarding module mounting and Fire Rating Classification was updated in October and the Company is among the first racking systems providers to be certified under the requirements of the new standard.
The company had previously announced that its SpeedMount racking system had been certified as fully compliant with its standard 2703.
“This certification along with our 2703 certification assures us that our SpeedMount is among the best available residential racking systems,” said Shane Shamloo, president and CEO. “We are confident that it will meet all requirements in any jurisdiction.”
The SpeedMount is a shared-rail system with integrated grounding. The rails are fully adjustable to fit over 95% of the solar panels on the market. The rails are shipped to the customer pre-assembled with all the necessary hardware necessary to mount the rails to any stand-off chosen by the customer. SpeedMount uses significantly less material than most other available racking systems and is among the fastest to install with all connections made with a single standard socket.
A companion product to the SpeedMount is the QuickFoot which utilized a floating block to spread load and thus reduce the number of roof penetrations required which will add additional cost reductions for installation.
