Zep System III For Flat Roof Applications
Zep System III from Zep Solar offers the fastest and least expensive way to mount PV arrays on flat roofs. With a series of snap-in, drop-in and quarter turn connections, Zep System III greatly accelerates the process of commercial rooftop installation. Zep System III eliminates the need for mounting rails, requires very few parts, and simultaneously accomplishes structural and grounding connections. With far less complexity than conventional systems, Zep System III delivers both labor and logistics savings for commercial PV projects.
