PanelClaw is introducing its ‘Polar Bear’ III, a new flat roof mounting system.

The system offers integrated roof protection pads, captured ballast and free water flow. The system also provides thermal compensation.

Applications

Mounting PV modules for residential and commercial flat roofs.

Accelerated construction is possible due to easy handling, pre-assembled bolts and dense packaging. The system employs built-in wire management pathways for greater safety and reliability. It comes with a claimed industry-first 25-year warranty and has been designed with advanced seismic behavior analysis and boundary layer wind tunnel testing.
