SnapNrack's Series 100 Residential Roof Mount system will be used as the racking system on installations throughout California and in the New York/New Jersey region. The residential roof mount system is an efficient, visually appealing system that will provide a simple and quick assembly for the GRID Alternatives volunteers.
SnapNrack first donated their racking product to GRID Alternatives in 2013 for two Solarthon events in the Central Coast.

GRID Alternatives is a national non-profit organization that brings the benefits of solar technology to low-income communities. Using a barn-raising model, GRID Alternatives leads teams of volunteers and job trainees to install solar power on qualifying homes, providing needed savings for families struggling to make ends meet while preparing workers for jobs in the fast-growing solar industry and cleaning the air.
