1.83MW PROJECT IN ALBERTA
Standing Seam
“The HB product is by far the fastest standing seam solution we have installed to date. With no tilt, the density we were able to achieve on this roof with minimal structural implications was impressive. The layout is very quick, with the miracle bracket taking all the guesswork out of the rail adjustments. We had a very pressing deadline and without HB’s quick delivery and fast product installation, our deadlines would have been in jeopardy. Working with HB through the initial roof layouts and revisions was very streamlined and allowed us to perfect the design and have a very accurate BOM. Setting the record for Canada’s largest rooftop installation, we were glad to have the support from HB through the entire process.”

305kW PROJECT IN CAPE COD
Skyrack hardware with FlashGuard flashing
“Our challenge was finding a supplier with user-friendly hardware while maintaining a competitive price. Advanced/HB took feedback from our teams and others to create a system that really is designed for installers. The L-Foot and flashing assembly has reduced install time and minimized damage to shingles during installation. Our crew liked the ClicLoc clamps and Bond-Aid splices — they moved through the mechanical installations quickly. Since you manufacture the flashing, we were able to simplify ordering and save money."
— Ara, Blue Selemium Solar
1.1MW PROJECT IN NEW JERSEY
Vicerack
“The combined Vicerack and S5! E Mini Clamp helped us complete mechanical installation fast.”
— Michael, Advanced Green Technologies
The challenge for this project was identifying a racking system that could (a) safely mount the roof’s northeast sloping roof seams and provide a true south position for the solar panels, and (b) attach to the standing seam without voiding its pre-existing manufacturer’s warranty. Advanced Racking provided the Vicerack mounting system to install the nearly 5000 panels across the seams. The system was positioned true south across the northeast slope using a 20° module tilt. The system will generate an additional 5.67% in annual solar production, and the roof's pre-existing warranty was maintained.
780kW PROJECT IN ONTARIO
Vicerack
“This product is exceptional.”
— Will, Blue Water Energy
The customer’s deadline for a 780kW installation was less than six weeks from the date we began, and missing it would incur daily financial penalties. Weight capacities for the roof restricted equipment loading and the layout of the array made large crews impractical. Because our Vicerack system incorporates significant pre-assembly, we were able to install an average of 35kW per day with a crew of six. Even after losing days to poor weather and the additional time required to lift equipment to the roof, we completed the job on-time.
8.1kW PROJECT IN PENNSYLVANIA
FlashGuard Shingle Flashing
“We were looking for the best way to ensure that our customers experience no leaks in their roofs for the life of the system. We have tried about all the flashings that are on the market. We found Flashguard to be the best — it provides 100% foolproof, approved long-lasting protection. It is easy to install and durable.”
— Mark, Exact Solar
502kW PROJECT IN ONTARIO
Blockmount2 at 3° module tilt
"The customer service and tech support were very prompt and easy to deal with. The best aspect of the project was how quickly and easily the system went together."
— Dan, Crew Leader
The challenge for this client was finding a product with a high enough density and creating a design that optimized the building’s rooftop space while fully supporting the modules (no corner clamping). With our Blockmount2 system at a 3° module tilt in portrait orientation, we were able to deliver.
554kW PROJECT IN CALIFORNIA
Vicerack PC at 15° tilt, skewed across standing seam
“Just so you know, your Vicerack system is without a doubt the nicest, cleanest, easiest system I’ve been involved with.”
— Unsolicited feedback from the Installer
10kW PROJECT IN OREGON
Vicerack 20° landscape, square to the seam
“Vicerack was the perfect mounting solution. The unique design, supported by third-party testing, satisfied strict local structural & wind loading requirements. The tilted rack provided just enough boost in resource for the system to qualify for state incentives.”
— John Grieser, President, Elemental Energy
52kW PROJECT IN LONG ISLAND
Vicerack2 15° on a standing seam roof
“We had a great time working with the HB team to get this project built. Each step was straight-forward, and we were very happy with the design and finished look of the installation.”

201.96KW PROJECT IN CAMBRIDGE, ON
BM2+ 10 DEGREE
“This project had a very tight timeline, both for design and construction. hb Solar had by far the shortest lead time to deliver the racking system, only 1 week! The sales and engineering team at hb is great to deal with, offering helpful suggestions during the design phase right through construction. One benefit of the BM2+ system that cannot be overstated is the DC wire management system. Having built in wire management between rows saves time and material costs, versus supplying and installing conduits, cable trays or other raceways.”
