KB Racking and A1 Solar Power have completed their first co-rooftop project: a non-penetrating rooftop solar system in the state of California.
The project is located on the coast of Corte Madera, just north of San Francisco. The system was installed using EkonoRack 2.0, an aerodynamic mounting solution designed for simplicity and rapid installation. EkonoRack 2.0’s modular design and KB Racking’s custom engineering allowed the system to be installed a few feet from the coast, without the use of seismic anchors.
“Most parts of California have stringent seismic restrictions set forth by the Structural Engineers Association of California. Our engineering team prepared a custom layout and engineering calculations to ensure that the system adhered to the seismic displacement requirements in the area. We are pleased to have our first non-penetrating system up and running in California and look forward to many more in the coming year,” said Alex Taillon, head of engineering at KB Racking.
