The FusionSolar solar system includes thin-film photovoltaics fused into standing-seam panels, blending in with the roof and eliminating the need for penetrations. The turnkey system comes with all components, schematics, and specifications for wiring; roofing professionals install the roof as they would a standard metal roof, the company says. Solar capacity is customizable, scaled to deliver 3-, 5-, 10-, 15-, 30-, 60-, or 120-kW-sized output. The thin-film laminate is durable enough to be walked on and withstand flying objects, and it withstands winds up to 160 mph. 800.826.7813.
The SlopeGrid geocellular confinement system allows for green roofs on arched or sloped roofs by controlling erosion, promoting stabilization of the planting medium, and preventing vertical wind uplift, the firm says. Installed over a waterproofing membrane and a drainage/water retention mat, the 100% recycled HDPE strips expand into a honeycomb-like grid, which is filled with soil. The grid is secured to the roof by a tendon system. 888.851.0051.
