SolarDock announced today that the more than 200 SolarDock systems in the path of Hurricane Sandy withstood the winds and rain, coming through the storm undamaged. Hurricane Sandy once again proved that SolarDock customers can be confident that their systems are built to last, says SolarDock Partner, Ed OBrien.
We designed SolarDock to be the safest and most durable ballasted racking system on the market and then rigorously tested it to back up our claim. Solar systems are a big investment customers need to be confident that during storms their racking, panels, and building wont be damaged. SolarDock provides that peace of mind.
SolarDocks unique design gives it several advantages over the other ballasted racking systems on the market: the closed back and full frame support protects the solar panels from uplift forces; the lack of rooftop penetrations and metal touching the roof protects the building from roof leaks; and the clear walkways make it easy to inspect and maintain the system and roof after the storm. Hurricane Sandy is not the first storm to test SolarDocks durability.
SolarDock systems have been installed in hurricane prone areas of the Eastern United States since 2006, undamaged by Hurricanes Sandy, Irene, and countless un-named noreasters. You can learn more about SolarDocks commitment to safety and reliability at: http://solardock.tumblr.com/safety.
