About Koolbridge Solar
Koolbridge Solar, Inc. is a "Smart Solar" company that designs and manufactures highly efficient, high-power, transformerless, sinewave DC to AC Inverters (1)and "Smart Load Centers" TM (2) that automatically select the use of utility power or solar power independently, for each of a number of load circuits based on the availability of: Utility and Solar Power, Preset User Priorities, Battery Charge Status, Time of Day, Instantaneous Consumption, Historical Consumption Patterns, and Weather Forecasts.
The Koolbridge Solar system for residential use is not totally independent of the grid, nor is it totally dependent on it. In the Koolbridge Solar system you have power from solar if the utility goes out and power from the utility if the sun is not shining. If you have both, power from the grid and power from solar, the Koolbridge Solar system preferential chooses free power from solar sources, thereby significantly reducing the electricity bill. The switching of circuits between utility and solar is accomplished automatically by the "SMART LOAD CENTER", which contains the control microcomputer.

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.
