SnapNrack's donation will provide 250 kilowatts (kW) of residential roof-mount racking to support the non-profit organization throughout the year. SnapNrack's roof-mount system supports an easy and low-cost installation process for GRID Alternatives' installations on the homes of low-income families.
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, SnapNrack, and other sponsors worked together to install Solar PV Systems on five low-income housing units in Castroville, Calif and three low-income housing units in San Luis Obispo, Calif.
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.

RBI Solar - Dahlia Has You Covered
What if you could maximize the Ground Coverage Ratio (GCR) on your next project and not have to worry about the complicated variables that come with a tracker system? With a low tilt and clearance design, Dahlia® has the highest GCR of any fixed-tilt system in the marketplace. The system is available in three tilt options (7.5, 10 and 12.5 degrees) and designed to accommodate any sized PV module. The lightweight system is engineered with fewer components, several of which are shipped to job sites pre-assembled. This design feature reduces freight costs and rapidly trims the amount of on-site installation time required to complete construction. Maximizing PV coverage on a site can lead to an increase of production, which creates greater financial return for project owners. Over 100 MW of Dahlia® projects have been deployed across the United States, in regions of variable snow and wind loads. How much can Dahlia® cover and save you on your next project?
