SolaTrim LLC Brings to Market Technologically Advanced Protective Barrier System, Designed for Modern Solar Arrays

Solar aftermarket provider creates new barrier system to increase safety and aesthetics for commercial and residential customers

SACRAMENTO (September 2, 2015) - SolaTrim, a leading solar aftermarket product provider, announced today the launch of a new technologically advanced Barrier System that is specifically designed for modern solar arrays. Crafted with the highest quality lightweight, coated aluminum and designed to maintain long-term structural integrity, the addition of SolaTrims barrier delivers the most optimal level of safety, aesthetics and effectiveness for both commercial and residential needs.


"Our intention with the launch of this innovative barrier system was to produce a product that first and foremost protected our customers while also providing a warranted modernized look for visual appeal," said Bill Lasell, SolaTrims co-founder and Operations Manager. "We strive to always provide residential consumers with affordable, attractive and dependable products that will maintain, protect and beautify renewable energy investment for generations to come," said Bob Smith, co-founder and President of SolaTrim LLC.

SolaTrims new innovative barrier system uses an advanced "peel & stick" adhesive to attach to solar panel frames, giving systems a clean appearance along with simple installation and permanent adhesion. Current wire-cage products require friction clips or mechanical fasteners in order to remain attached to solar panels. These can often fail under harsh weather conditions or long-term applications. Looking forward, as panel design becomes more streamlined and frameless modules are being introduced, wire-cage products will be left without an effective fastening system. SolaTrim can continue to be applied to solar modules even without frames. The proven adhesive used by SolaTrim has taken hold in other industrial applications such as aerospace, transportation and even has commercial underwater uses.

SolaTrim beautifies with a purpose. The two-fold benefit of SolaTrim - an aesthetic skirting that provides the finishing touch to rooftop panels, and life-of-the-system protection barrier from pests and debris - makes SolaTrim a secure addition to every system, built to maintain productivity for decades to come.

With the exponential growth of the solar industry, one of SolaTrims main goals is to continue to develop and manufacture Made in the USA solar aftermarket products that improve and support Americas Solar Initiative. SolaTrim plans to release additional products and systems that will shift the solar landscape in the near future.

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide - the ultimate solution for fast and easy installation of the rail-less RockIt racking system on composition shingle roofs. Smart Slide conforms to UL 441 and TAS 100 (A)-95 for wind and wind-driven rain, providing a super-strong watertight seal that is achieved through compression, in most cases without the need for additional sealant. The waterproofing sealant is embedded deep into the granules of the shingle, thanks to the integrated flexible foam layer that provides cushioning. This ensures a secure fit that conforms to any architectural-style shingle. With UltraGrip Technology™, you can rely on a secure installation, as it absorbs the movement created by thermal expansion and contraction. The pre-installed sealing pads are compatible with all composition shingle roofs, making it the ideal choice, even in ambient temperatures as low as 5 degrees.
