Silverback Solar Announces Successful Completion of the California State Lottery Building PV Array

June 14, 2011
An intricate solar array on the California State Lottery building in Sacramento, Calif. was recently installed by Rex Moore Electrical using the Silverback Solar system.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - An intricate solar array on the California State Lottery building in Sacramento, Calif. was recently installed by Rex Moore Electrical using the Silverback Solar system.

In identifying the best racking solution for the unusual football shaped roof, Rex Moore chose to use Silverback's sophisticated design and engineering capabilities coupled with its robust industrial grade roof attachment and rack hardware.

This project underscores Silverback's position as the full-service commercial racking company providing not just parts, but significant post-sales design and engineering support. These services provide clients with projects which can pass the most stringent engineering peer review, and installation packages which are field ready and installation crew-friendly.

Larry Devore, project manager for Rex Moore Electrical, said “the staff at Silverback Solar was far more knowledgeable than any other solar rack company I spoke with.”

“Client roofs and building structures are not all the same, so there are many instances in which much more than parts are needed,” said Silverback Solar CEO Ryan Bruce. “We pride ourselves in a highly knowledgeable and consultative sales staff that helps potential clients identify the best solution while addressing engineering and structural requirements that may not have considered by other racking companies. After the sales process is complete, projects are engineered by our licensed engineering staff using a level of professionalism and awareness of roof and building structures that is not common in the solar industry.”

Silverback Solar is owned by RoofScreen Manufacturing Inc., leaders in the rooftop equipment screening industry. By using high strength steel and applying innovative engineering principles, Silverback has made it possible to have elevated frames that allow adequate roof access and can span over rooftop equipment with fewer penetrations. Their patented, roofing industry approved watertight technology has been used on hundreds of rooftops nationwide, with over 31,000 leak-free roof attachment systems installed without a single leak.
