Wire Management is a vital part of every residential solar photovoltaic (PV) Installation. It is the foundation of efficiency, good production, and safe operation of the array. PV systems are complex, the environment is harsh, and installation can be difficult. As a result, getting wire management right is not always easy, but with quality equipment and best practices you can ensure your wire management will last as long as the rest of the array.Read More
Unlike traditional wire management which leaves spans of unsupported wire between attachments, SolarTray supports the entire length of the wire. This continuous support system eliminates the risk of sagging wires that cause failed inspections, expensive service calls and equipment damage. Plus, SolarTray installs faster and costs the same as typical wire clips.Read More
During these difficult times, partnerships have never been so important. Unirac is here to offer support. We recognize that solar companies of all sizes are the solar heroes on the front line making solar happen every day. They are out there as essential businesses helping homeowners go solar during this crisis.
Better Solar Starts Here is the perfect way to explain why we launched our Certified Installer Program earlier this year. It is designed to be an asset to our installation partners. Our program focuses on appreciating our partners and helping them amplify their brand through enhanced installer training, specialized marketing, and sales assets that can help boost consumer confidence in the market. The 2019 EnergySage Installer Survey revealed that half of the installers surveyed find customer acquisition to be the largest barrier to growth and 42 percent of installers cite the lack of trained labor as the second-highest barrier. The survey revealed that one in five installers points to the importance of online customer ratings and professional certifications for increasing business. As it turns out, Unirac’s Certified Installer Program is designed to address all these concerns.Read More
Continuing to develop and design projects during this pandemic is fraught with challenges. Other partner companies in your value chain furlough portions of staff, slowing their response. Your own team may have even been forced to reduce staff, making things even more difficult. Meanwhile, access to capital and customer preferences drive system design changes.
Delays seem to be coming from all directions. The universal cry of the solar designer and project manager is, “No added friction, please!”
We want you to know that we get it: You win when your project stays on schedule; we are committed to help you meet your schedule. That’s what Better Solar Starts Here means – having the right resources in place to ensure that your project stays on track.Read More

I hope this newsletter finds you, your team, and your family safe and healthy.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented times; a few weeks ago, nobody could have imagined that 160+ million Americans would be under some sort of shelter-in-place order, with the single goal to contain the virus and flatten the curve.
The pandemic has had significant impact on our economy, our solar industry and all our businesses: we are all adjusting to our new reality, a reality that continues to change. We are all in this fight together, and I have confidence that together we will beat the virus and overcome the challenges that come with it; I also believe that with all of our creativity and passion, we will find and invent new ways to make solar happen.Read More
Installers are constantly looking for a better tile hook, and thanks to a product development team deeply committed to improvement and innovation, Unirac recently delivered. Its new Powerarch technology yields a Pro Series Solarhook that’s up to 60% stronger, at the same price and with the same installation steps.
To understand how this came to pass, you first need to step back and look at the tile hook environment as a whole. There are more installs than ever happening on tile roofs, which have been an untapped market for installers. At the same time, existing market solutions haven’t been ideal. Before the new Pro Series Solarhook, installers could choose from flat bar hooks, which are inexpensive but relatively weak, or extruded hooks, which are relatively stronger but more expensive.Read More
