What Solar racking system is best?
I am looking to have solar panels installed on my company roof top but i have some restrictions. It has to be non penetrating and non ballasted. Meaning i cant drill, nail, or glue anything to the roof and the roof cant support that much weight so ballasts cant be used to hold it down.
So far I have found a company called hb Solar of Southern California, they are based in southern california but are not limited to there. They have a system they call the "SCIROCCO", and its both non penetrating and non ballasted, and its extremely light. It uses wind to keep the mounting rack down. Before I proceed with them, does anybody else know of a place that can offer this? They claim to be the only ones and its patened.

When I inquired information from unirack about this CLICKSYS racking they said that there is still some penetration that needs to be done just not as much, and the system is actually pretty heavy compared to. And also I dont think barrel and spanish tile mean too much to you, since we are talking commercial flat roof.
So if you really need something that is light and non penetrating like it sounds you do, then I for one would go with scirocco from hb solar. It has an awsome design, I seen it at the solar expo in anahiem, and as a matter of fact I am working with them right now on a 1MW system on a single flat roof commercial building. I'm pretty excited, this should boost my sales by alot becuase of all the static load problems we have here. hope i could be of help

Residential Solar Systems and Other Ways to Cut Home Energy Expenses
Many people know that installing residential solar systems for their homes is one of the most important steps in reducing energy costs. For people who live in remote places, it is even easier to go off grid completely. However, if you live in a place that is densely populated and your home area is limited, you can just be content with integrating alternative energy sources with traditional ones. So, if you still don’t have solar panels and other solar systems in your home, you better start to seriously consider getting one. In order to further bring down energy costs, what you can do is to follow the steps below.
Don’t Forget to Insulate
Apart from installing residential solar systems, sufficient insulation is also something that homeowners put in the backburner. But it is actually crucial in contributing to the reduction of monthly electric bills. If your home has an attic, you need to make sure that it is properly insulated in order to help minimize cost. Attics that are not properly insulated can be as hot as a furnace during the summer months. This means that your cooling units have to work doubly hard in order to maintain cool temperature inside your home. However, if you invest in solar attic fans, you would not have any problems during the hot summer months. Your heater air ducts, exposed PVC, and copper hot water lines should also be insulated, particularly the ones that can be found in the basement. For those who own older types of water heater, it is important to use a water heater jacket as insulation. This is important so that heat would not escape into the open.
Try To Do Things Manually
Even if you already have residential solar systems, you still need to be conscientious when it comes to using your electrical appliances. If there are some things that you can do manually, then go ahead and do them instead of relying on electrical devices all the time. Besides, doing things manually can also help you burn more calories (which may even play a vital role in your weight loss goals). You should consider hanging your clothes to dry every once in a while. For those who do not have big yards, you can just use portable clothes racks to do the trick. Moreover, instead of using your dishwasher all the time, you can try to wash your dishes by hand. Just make sure that you use gloves so that your hands will not dry out.
Mind the Light
One of the things that many people in this country forget is the importance of turning off the lights and other appliances that are not in use. If you just put your PC to sleep and turn off all the peripherals of your computer, you will be saving a lot of money on your electric bill at home. Try to encourage all members of your family to do the same.
