Our first product, the patent-pending InstaRack high-efficiency solar racking system, is a one-piece, pre-formed solar mounting system made from durable lightweight high density polyethylene plastic (HDPE). It utilizes a UV inhibitor for durability and extended life. This durable material uses a minimum of 35% recycled content, resulting in a lower carbon footprint than conventional energy intensive aluminum racking systems. We source and manufacture our products entirely in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Our product attaches solar panels to roofs. We manufacture the simplest solar mounting systems on the market, saving labor time and cutting project costs. This decreases the cost of solar energy and increases project ROI.
