• Self Ballasting - NO ROOFTOP PENETRATIONS, MINIMAL BALLAST REQUIRED

Unique design that works with the wind to push itself down on the flat roof.  During a recent tornado in Minnesota, a 10X10' air handling unit was torn from the roof and moved several feet.  The tenKsolar system on that same roof DID NOT MOVE.

• Self Clearing

Unique metal back plate acts as a heat spreader, clearing snow from the modules.  The picture below left is a few hours after a major blizzard.  The module below right is producing over 80% power; conventional modules would be at less than 10% power with similar blockage.

       

• More Energy Per Rooftop

- No wasted space between rows. 
- Increases roof utilization: the RAIS Wave system can be placed near roof obstructions such as vent pipes and HVAC equipment.
- Sheds snow significantly faster than traditional low-angle solar PV racking systems.
- Increases DC – AC conversion efficiency over traditional serial PV systems through use of Cell Optimizing technology

Total energy output is up to 60% more per square foot than traditional PV.

- Proprietary reflector design features a 3M™ Cool Mirror Film that is selective in the light it adds to the solar modules. This minimizes added heat and added UV ray exposure to create a module / reflector combination with the highest energy density per square foot of rooftop of any commercial
product.

• Highest Safety Standard

- Low voltage, built-in safety monitoring
- No shock hazard, instant shutoff at source, built-in ground fault detection

• Maximum Reliability

- 92% efficient vs conventional system at under 80% efficiency      
- Cell Optimizing Architecture is internally redundant; if any part of production is disrupted, the remaining system operates as it should.  Every cell talks to every cell, vs. 'string' configurations where if one small disruption occurs (say, a leaf), the entire string of modules stops working.
- The only flat plate PV module capable of efficiently harvesting reflected light
- System level optimization is unequaled in the industry

• Superior Construction

Sealed metal backsheet keeps water out, reducing moisture and humidity failures, and allows modules to run cooler and more efficiently, and more effectively distributes heat away from the system.  Longer life, too.  Conventional PV uses a plastic backsheet.
