SnapNrack and CertainTeed have introduced a solar and solar mounting option to the market that will not void the limited warranty on asphalt shingles against manufacturing defects. Under the partnership, a solar system installed with CertainTeed asphalt shingles, SnapNrack fasteners and CertainTeed Solstice panels is eligible for CertainTeed umbrella coverage, provided the installation is performed by a CertainTeed Solar approved contractor.
“One of the most common questions people ask when deciding to switch to solar energy is: ‘Will this void the warranty on my roof?’ With this new program from CertainTeed, homeowners can confidently know that the answer to that question is a resounding ‘no’ when their system is installed with SnapNrack mounting hardware,” said Andrew Wickham, director of products and engineering at SnapNrack.
Typically, installers or homeowners must rely on three different manufacturer warranties for everything on the roof: the roofing material, the solar mounting system, and the solar panels. This partnership provides customers with a single warranty process as the entire rooftop solar system and solar installation finishing are covered by one company. Both solar energy and CertainTeed asphalt shingles are supported by CertainTeed.
“We are pleased to join forces with SnapNrack,” said Phoebe Kwan, GM of solar solutions at Saint-Gobain. “Our partnership with SnapNrack allows us to offer state-of-the-art solar, racking and roofing solutions to homeowners with complete peace of mind, so they can make the switch to solar without worry about the expiration of their roof warranty.”
