SANTA CRUZ, Calif., March 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- At the recent International Roofing Expo, sponsored by National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), over 8,000 professionals filled the hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center to learn about new innovations and discuss issues important to the roofing industry. In the crowded Silverback Solar booth, one subject everyone seemed to be talking about was the industry wide concern about how rooftop solar installations can affect commercial roofing. Roof damage, leaks, re-roofing and long-term maintenance are major concerns for roofing professionals considering rooftop solar, and they are finding solutions to those problems with the Silverback Solar Racking System. Silverback Solar is owned by RoofScreen Mfg. 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.
