ATAS International Inc. InSpire Wall by ATAS is a metal wall panel that acts as an auxiliary component to a heating system, heats fresh air, utilizes solar energy and mounts a few inches from the building’s outer wall. Perforations in the panels allow outside air to travel through the panel’s face. Solar-heated air at the surface of the panel is drawn through the perforations where it rises between the two walls and enters the building’s central ventilation system or supply fan. |

Conserval Systems Inc. SolarWall air heating and ventilation systems use the sun’s energy to pre-heat ventilation air for buildings and crop-and-process drying applications. Depending on the size and application, SolarWall systems can displace 20 to 50 percent of heating fuel consumption and can also act as a rainscreen. |

Englert Inc. Englert’s SunNet building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is a thin film, photovoltaic laminate that captures energy from the sun and converts it to electricity. The photovoltaic laminate is constructed of lightweight, flexible, self-adhesive materials and is an ideal fit for curved panel applications and over the apex of a roof. The BIPV metal roof systems capture energy from dawn to dusk and generate power in cloudy conditions, not just during peak sunlight hours. |
 |
Mounting Systems Inc. Mounting Systems’ Tau + is a system for mounting solar modules on trapezoidal sheet metal roofs. The Tau +’s fasteners and Clickstone attachment technology increase installation speed and roof strength. |
 |
S-5! S-5! clamps attach to rails and the S-5-PV Kit provides a direct attachment product that fits most metal roofs and solar modules. The S-5-PV Kit is ETL/UL listed for module-tomodule conductivity. |
 |
Tecta America Corp. Tecta Tracker from Tecta Solar is a rooftop operations and maintenance software program that lets building owners monitor the condition of roofs with solar equipment. Damage caused by solar racking or rooftop equipment can be identified and repaired with the system. |
