PRESS  RELEASE  

SolarDock  systems  hold  strong  during  Hurricane  Sandy  

November  14,  2012  –  SolarDock  announced  today  that  the  more  than  200  SolarDock  systems  in  the  path  of  Hurricane  Sandy  withstood  the  winds  and  rain,  coming  through  the  storm  undamaged.  

“Hurricane  Sandy  once  again  proved  that  SolarDock  customers  can  be  confident  that  their  systems  are  built  to  last,”  says  SolarDock  Partner,  Ed  O’Brien.  “We  designed  SolarDock  to  be  the  safest  and  most  durable  ballasted  racking  system  on  the  market  and  then  rigorously  tested  it  to  back  up  our  claim.  Solar  systems  are  a  big  investment  –  customers  need  to  be  confident  that  during  storms  their  racking,  panels,  and  building  won’t  be  damaged.  SolarDock  provides  that  peace  of  mind.”  

SolarDock’s  unique  design  gives  it  several  advantages  over  the  other  ballasted  racking  systems  on  the  market:  the  closed  back  and  full  frame  support  protects  the  solar  panels  from  uplift  forces;  the  lack  of  rooftop  penetrations  and  metal  touching  the  roof  protects  the  building  from  roof  leaks;  and  the  clear  walkways  make  it  easy  to  inspect  and  maintain  the  system  and  roof  after  the  storm.  

Hurricane  Sandy  is  not  the  first  storm  to  test  SolarDock’s  durability.  SolarDock  systems  have  been  installed  in  hurricane  prone  areas  of  the  Eastern  United  States  since  2006,  undamaged  by  Hurricanes  Sandy,  Irene,  and  countless  un-­‐named  nor’easters.
