1. Martin Roofing & Solar’s hidden-fastening solar mount received UL certification without penetrating shingles.
2. The design saves shingles from holes by attaching underneath and sealing over the top of the mount.
3. The company aims to integrate the mount into new homes as “Solar-Ready Homes” and has gained interest from other solar and shingle companies.
Martin Roofing & Solar has received UL certification for their patent-pending residential solar mount that complies with the fire hazard-related 2703 standard. This hidden-fastening solar mount (HSFM) is the first of its kind to be UL 2703 certified without penetrating shingles, providing a leak-free solution for homeowners.
According to Preston Nelson, director of Martin Solar, traditional solar mounts have created millions of holes in shingles, leading to potential leaks and a mismatch between the lifespan of shingles and solar systems. The new design of the HSFM saves shingles by attaching underneath them, ensuring a leak-free guarantee for the entire lifespan of a new shingle roof.
President Matt Brendel highlights the company’s commitment to innovation and their goal of providing a unique solution to the residential solar market. Martin Roofing & Solar aims to make solar systems more accessible and seamless for homeowners by integrating their mounts with shingles and potentially transforming new homes into ‘Solar-Ready Homes.’
The success of the hidden-fastening solar mount has garnered attention from other solar companies and shingle manufacturers, reflecting the industry’s interest in this groundbreaking approach to residential solar installations. Martin Roofing & Solar’s dedication to quality and service has positioned them as a leading provider of innovative solar solutions.
