AceClamp®/PMC Provides Quick, Secure Installation of Solar Panels in Commercial Application
Koopman Lumber & Hardware depends on AceClamp® ML solar mounts for 200Kw solar panel system.
PLAINVILLE, Conn. (February 27, 2014) – Koopman Lumber & Hardware, a Massachusetts retailer of lumber, hardware and other building materials and equipment, selected the AceClamp® ML (Solar Mount) to install a 200Kw solar panel array system on its lumber, hardware, paint, and design center in Sharon, Mass.
Cotuit Solar, the project’s installer, found the pre-assembled, top-fastening solar panel mount, AceClamp® ML a lot easier to work with than other brand clamps that have to be mounted from the side using small set screws. “They were ready to go right out of the box,” said Herb Rice, a member of the Cotuit team.
The AceClamp® ML is a versatile standing seam metal roof clamps (SSMR) system designed to accommodate nearly any application or roof seam design. Its two-piece design allows for installation at any point on the seam, providing one of the tightest vibration-tested grips in the industry. This ensures a secure attachment that can withstand various environmental conditions, making it ideal for numerous applications.
A standout feature of the AceClamp® ML metal roof clamps is it's top-loaded solar panel mounting holes. This design provides easy, quick access for contractors, allowing them to complete installations in less than half the time required by conventional side-mounting systems. The efficiency gained from this design translates to significant time and labor savings, making it a preferred choice for professionals in the field.
Another critical advantage of the AceClamp® ML solar panel mount is that it does not penetrate or scratch the roof’s surface. This non-invasive installation method preserves the roof’s integrity and ensures that manufacturers' warranties remain intact. By avoiding penetration, the AceClamp® ML minimizes the risk of leaks and other potential damage, offering peace of mind to both contractors and property owners.
Designed with the contractor in mind, the patented AceClamp® ML clamp system is the easiest, quickest, and safest way to install attachment clamps, such as solar panel mounts, on standing seam metal roofs. Its user-friendly design ensures that every job is done consistently and correctly. The top-loaded access points provide easy visibility for checking the torque on each installation, ensuring that clamps are securely fastened every time.
The AceClamp® ML’s two-piece design and top-loaded mounting holes exemplify thoughtful engineering aimed at simplifying the installation process. Contractors benefit from reduced installation times and enhanced ease of use, while property owners enjoy the long-term benefits of a secure and warranty-preserving attachment system.
