Earlier in 2014 USSolar added SnapNRack solar panel mounting systems to its line of solar manufactures they represent throughout the Caribbean. With over 6 months into the year the results have come in and SnapNRack is now US Solar’s undisputed leader in the Caribbean Solar Market.
Like Germany did to Brazil, SnapNRack simply eliminates the competition once an installer uses the product. As the name applies the system “snaps” into place and the installer is required to use only one wrench size. With the added value of professionally engineered and certified systems from USSolar, SnapNRack mounting solutions can be rated to wind speeds as high as 180 MPH per the American Society of Civil Engineer’s or ASCE.
Another reason USSolar reports SnapNrack is leading the Caribbean Solar Market is the online system configurator. The tool allows for flexible solar panel layout options and provides a complete bill of material that allows US Solar Dealer’s to quickly price and rapidly deliver the properly rated equipment to meet all their customer’s needs. The system configurator works for residential and commercial rooftops as well as ground mount solutions.
Perhaps the best reason USSolar reports SnapNrack leading the Caribbean Solar Market is the ease of grounding and bonding. In 2014 SnapNRack received approval from Underwriters Laboratory to mark its products with the latest safety listing in the solar PV industry – UL2703. That means that all US Solar packages with SnapNRack mounting solutions represent the safest solutions in the Caribbean solar panel marketplace.
The UL 2703 listing is the most recent addition in solar product safety testing performed by world safety leader UL. The listing insures that if the system is installed per the manufactures instructions the array will be sufficiently and safely grounded as required by the National Electrical Code (NEC). This is a big time saver for markets that have adopted NEC 2011 or NEC 2014 as this listing meets these newer codes and insures that the product is in fact state of the art in regards to safety standards.
Solar Panels receive all the glory but in the high wind velocity regions of The Caribbean solar panel mounting systems deserve all the credit for system longevity and strength. Capturing the power of the sun is easy in this regions sunshine so keeping the panels in place and free of corrosion is the challenging part of the Caribbean based solar installer. This is why material and equipment selection is so critical. To often cheaper materials are purchased from China to keep up front costs lower only to fail in a few years. That is not the case with SnapNRack.
According to Ray Johnson, “The structural integrity and ease of installation of the SnapNRack product line is exactly what is needed in our Caribbean markets where there is constant erosion from heat, humidity, salt and the threat of big winds are a daily concern especially during hurricane season. This is why all USSolar packages come with marine grade stainless steel, SnapNRack and proven UV rated sealants. We have invested a lot of time and research into testing the products we represent and SnapNack is the clear winner in the Caribbean”.
USSolar reports SnapNrack leading the Caribbean Solar Market because of their speed, safety and innovative approach to the solar PV mounting market. Using their products simply makes the solar installer’s job easier and more profitable while delivering the strongest and safest system dollar for dollar in the market.
And those are the right reasons USSolar reports SnapNrack leading the Caribbean Solar Market.
