Let's face it - not all solar mounting systems are created equal. When rooftop real estate comes at a premium, the Solar Roof Mounting Bracket System with L Feet TopFence acts like a Swiss Army knife for installers. Imagine trying to balance a bowling ball on a toothpick. That's what cheap mounts feel like during hurricane season. But with TopFence's L-feet solution? You're basically giving solar panels a first-class ticket on the roof express.
Recent NREL data shows 68% of solar installation delays stem from incompatible mounting hardware. Here's where our star player shines:
San Diego's OceanView Condos had a rooftop puzzle - 72 panels needed on a historic clay tile roof. Traditional mounts required 160 drilling points. TopFence's L-brackets? 92 penetration points with zero leaks reported after 3 monsoon seasons. Maintenance chief Maria Gonzalez joked: "These brackets cling tighter than my kids during a Disneyland trip!"
Remember playing with LEGO as a kid? That's the simplicity we've engineered:
Phoenix installer Jake Murray swears by the "Tic-Tac-Toe" method: "We layout brackets in a # pattern first. Cuts installation time by 40% compared to linear setups. Plus, it drives the boss nuts when we finish before lunch!"
During 2023's Hurricane Tammy, Florida homes using TopFence mounts reported zero solar array losses. Meanwhile, 23% of systems with generic brackets needed repairs. The secret sauce? Our patented Vortex Grip™ technology that actually tightens under wind stress - like how your jeans fit after Thanksgiving dinner.
The Solar Energy Industries Association predicts bifacial panels will dominate 58% of the market by 2027. Good news - TopFence's L-brackets already accommodate these double-sided sun guzzlers. We've even added NanoGap™ spacing that boosts airflow by 30%, turning your array into its own cooling system.
Our engineers geeked out creating a load distribution algorithm that:
As Boston installer Liam Carter puts it: "It's like the system anticipates where stress will hit before it happens. Almost spooky how well it works - like having a psychic bracket!"
With our Click-Clean™ access ports, technicians can:
Houston maintenance team lead Sarah Williamson jokes: "The only thing simpler than maintaining these is making instant coffee. And I've seen interns mess that up!"
Here's a closer look at rooftop solar in Canada and things to consider, including the up-front cost and a mix of policies and incentives that vary widely across the country.. Here's a closer look at rooftop solar in Canada and things to consider, including the up-front cost and a mix of policies and incentives that vary widely across the country.. This guide helps you decide between solar roof shingles and solar panels, compare the costs and specifically looks at installing shingles in Canada. [pdf]
Today, a good way of estimating the cost of installing solar panels on your roof is to assume roughly $3 per watt. With an average Canadian home requiring between 5 and 10 kW of solar panels, this would work out to $15,000 for a 5 kW system. It should be noted, however, that the price per watt is inversely proportional to the cost of the system.
Solar roofs have an identical install as a traditional solar panel. This provides cost savings measures and can utilize current racking tools readily available through most solar panel installers. Unlike Tesla’s Solar Shingles, these Solar Roof panels are easy to install and built to withstand Canadian climates.
But if you look closely at some roofs, you might find an intriguing lack of traditional panel design. With a Solar Roof, it becomes possible to produce clean, renewable energy without worrying about the aesthetic of traditional panels. These novel roofs can capture sunlight and convert them directly to electricity.
But incentives and policies that encourage or discourage solar vary widely across Canada. Ashley Reid put solar panels on her home in southern Ontario with the help of federal grant and loan programs. Based on her calculations, she says it makes financial sense to have the panels installed on her home. (Submitted by Ashley Reid)
It's a solution touted by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, which started selling solar roof tiles in the U.S. in 2017. Since then, a range of made-in-Canada options for different parts of buildings have hit the market — and installations have sprung up across the country showcasing what's possible.
