  What We Offer  



American Solar Roof offers a variety of Roofing and Solar solutions tailored directly to your personal needs.  ASR can provide your business or building with the most efficient Solar Panel System as possible, and can provide the roof construction needed to house the System. 

ASR has formed strategic partnerships with leading companies in the roofing and photovoltaic industries to produce the ASRPV Roof System.
 
Uni-Solar/Ovonics has developed light weight, flexible solar panels that can be incorporated directly into roofing systems. These lightweight durable panels provide power output performance characteristics equal or better than their conventional relatives with a significant weight reduction and the ability to produce energy on cloudy days.


ASR has partnered with thin film PV pioneers United Solar Ovonic to produce the ASRPV 816E/T/H Solar Electric Modules. ASR factory laminates the Uni-Solar panels onto EPDM, TPO or Hypalon membranes in a 10’ x 20’ configuration for easy handling during installation.

The ASRPV System includes a single source 20 year peace of mind performance guarantee for our solar and roofing systems.
The warranty can include wind and hail riders to 150 mph on the ASRPV and 2001 Roof System


Why use the roof?

•Roof area represents the largest area exposed to solar radiation for most non high rise buildings.
•Conventional Roofing is a depreciating asset that declines in value from the day of installation.
•A energy producing roof system is an income generating asset that will increase the value of the property and reduce operating expenses.
 

Conventional Technologies

•Can require structural reinforcement and steel frames to support heavy glass PV panels.
• Rigid panels are easly damaged by rocks and debris
• No consideration for maintaining the roof is designed into these systems.
•Limited or no access to roof system for maintenance or repair
•Requires removal of system for roof replacement
-Wind and Rigid Panels
•It is popular to install rigid panels with ballasted non penetrating frame systems
•In wind events the aerodynamics of the panels cause wind uplift
•This can lead to movement of the system and damage to the panels and building

Fusion of Technologies

By combining our state of the art ASR Solar Modules with The 2001 Company’s Patented Wind Vented Roof System, we are manufacturing the most lightweight, durable and energy efficient solar incorporated roof system available anywhere in the world. In short, our ASRPV System will convert your conventional rooftop into an energy producing Power Plant on your Rooftop

•ASR performs all of the system design and engineering for the project.
•ASR utilizes the national network of certified Contractors to install the roof system and pv modules
•ASR contracts with a regionally approved system integrator to install conduit, switchgear, wire, inverters, and interconnect devices into the system. Commonly called Balance of System or BOS

Net Metering
•Under State NET METERING agreements The PV power is connected to run your meter backwards with the energy you produce.
•The local utility and the third party monitoring company track each kwhr your system produces
•Credits are issued monthly by the utility for energy produced
•Credits cannot exceed your historical usage annually.
•Performance based incentives are monitored and paid to the system owner utilizing this process

•Third party companies provide web based real time monitoring capability.
•Service cost is integrated into project O&M cost.
