An alternative energy source

MBCI offers two photovoltaic (PV) systems that work well for existing or new commercial construction projects. The first is a rigid glass-based polycrystalline silicon module that can be installed on standing-seam metal roof systems using a nonpenetrating clamp. The second is flexible thin film that typically is adhered to a metal roof panel in a factory environment. Metal roofs make ideal substrates for PV systems because they can be installed without penetrating the metal roof panel and the metal roof is poised to outlive the solar equipment, saving removal and replacement costs. For more information, visit www.mbci.com/solar or call (877) 713-6224.

Permanent or temporary solution for roof safety

Miller Fall Protection introduces the new Miller Fusion Roof Anchor Post (RAP) that provides a versatile single-point anchorage for workers conducting maintenance on industrial-style roof systems. The innovative base plate is engineered for temporary or permanent installation to the roof surface, and attachment to the roof surface is quick and easy, reducing installation time more than 50 percent. In the event of a fall, the top of the Miller RAP re-orients with the force in a direct line and activates the energy absorber. For more information, visit www.millerfallprotection.com.
