AceClamp® A2® UL-listed solar kit

The A2 clamp was designed specifically for solar applications on standing-seam metal roofs. AceClamp's patented, UL-listed solar kit is the easiest way to install solar panels directly to a standing-seam metal roof. There is no need to waste time or money on a rail system. All clamps and kits are fully assembled. Our patented push-pin design doesn't damage roof panel finishes or coatings and includes a stainless-steel sleeve for grounding. Not only is our clamp universal to many standing-seam metal roofs, but our solar kit is, too, fitting up to a 2 1/2-inch solar panel thickness.

More From This Issue

  • The quest for dryness

    As the roofing industry adopted new roofing insulation, adhesives and membranes during recent decades, moisture in concrete roof decks has emerged as a growing problem that needs to be addressed. Many existing test methods do not accurately measure moisture levels. Consequently, several industry associations and companies currently are conducting research and gathering data to determine effective solutions.

  • Fit like a glove

    When the 620,000-square-foot EPDM membrane roof system on Romeoville, Ill.-based Magid® Glove and Safety Manufacturing Co. LLC’s facility was failing, Ridgeworth Roofing Co. Inc., Frankfort, Ill., was selected to replace it. During 2016, Ridgeworth Roofing overcame safety and logistical challenges to install a new TPO membrane roof system on the facility, successfully completing Rideworth Roofing’s largest project to date.

  • Not as cool as advertised

    During the past two decades, the list of codes and certification programs requiring highly reflective roof coverings has grown; many provide reflectivity requirements based on three-year-aged reflectance ratings. Results from three recent research projects conducted by the Midwest Roofing Contractors Association and NRCA reveal reflectance values for in-service roofs typically were lower than the products’ three-year-aged reflectance ratings.
