SnapNrack, a manufacturer of solar mounting solutions, is launching a new rooftop mounting system, TopSpeed. SnapNrack has changed its installation process by having the majority of the TopSpeed install performed on the ground. TopSpeedTM Mounts are attached directly to the modules before they are brought up on the roof. Only the first row of TopSpeed Mounts are attached first to the roof utilizing the integrated Universal Skirt, which creates a strong structure for leveling and aligning the array.

TopSpeed was designed to reduce roof layout guesswork, jobsite materials staging and racking assembly. By performing the majority of the install on the ground, it lets installers spend less time on the roof.

The new process consists of three installation steps. On the ground, TopSpeed Mounts are attached directly to the panels in the approved mounting locations. Next, wire management begins with SnapNrack Smart Clips and MLPE Frame Kits to prepare module leads and module-level power electronics. While these steps are being performed on the ground, a simple array layout and the first row of TopSpeed Mounts with the Universal Skirt are installed. Once those steps are completed, installers are ready to install at TopSpeed.

After modules are positioned in desired roof location, all mounts are secured to the roof with SnapNrack’s proprietary half-inch head wood screws (maintaining a single tool installation) and an approved roof sealant.

The TopSpeed TM Mounting System will be on display at the Intersolar North America 2023 trade show from Feb. 14-16, 2023 in SnapNrack Booth #1461.

SnapNrack is now accepting orders for the new SnapNrack TopSpeed Mounting System with standard order lead times. More details can be found by contacting a SnapNrack Distribution Account Manager or downloading the latest SnapNrack Product Catalog.
