Modular Solar Roofing SolTrak™ is a Modular Solar Roofing system that lowers the cost of residential solar and roofing, and incorporates ingenious photovoltaic integration.  The SolTrak™ system consists of a polymer roofing tile containing an integral solar-electric panel, which is mounted using a unique and proprietary track.  Similar in concept to track lighting, it features custom extruded “tracks” enabling easy electrical & mechanical connection and greatly simplifying installation of the product.

With SolTrak™ the installation of the PV system is simple, rapid and safe; it is done as part of the roof itself. It also shares the cost with the roof. Instead of paying twice to install both a premium roof and then a complex PV system on top, the consumer pays for only a single simple installation. This streamlining of the installation process, along with the inherent savings of the polymer material used in the tiles of the SolTrak™ system, means that the time to recover the cost of the solar power system is reduced significantly – up to half of comparable systems.

Also note that SolTrak™ is not tied to any particular PV technology, and can benefit from the worldwide R&D effort to reduce the cost per watt of solar power. SolTrak™ is essentially a delivery system for PV technology. It provides a very cost-effective stand-alone roofing system, with the option to add solar power generation to each panel. By reducing the up-front capital cost of solar power, SolTrak™ lowers the biggest barrier to residential adoption of PV technology.
