The heart of the Zep System is a specialized stainless steel fastener called the Zep.  This quarter-turn coupling rapidly locks into the Zep Groove, enabling a drop-in installation action for one side of each PV module.  The Zep also cuts through the module frame's anodization to secure a solid ground path while simultaneously allowing for real-world factors like tolerance take-up and thermal expansion.  Zep grounding technology creates a fully redundant hyper-bonded grounding matrix, making the Zep System the best solution for electrical safety.  The Zep coupling is integrated into our two core components:  the Interlock and the Leveling Foot.

Zep System features include:

Combined with the substantial PV module price reductions of 2009 & 2010, Zep technology is opening the door to unprecedented solar pricing levels.  

With far less material and an incredibly rapid method of installation, the Zep System can realize savings of over $0.50 per Watt or more – that’s $2,000 in savings on a typical 4 kW system!  And because the Zep System installs many times faster than conventional systems, solar installation companies can install more kWs per crew each day, allowing for better margins on labor and a significant increase in the deployment of solar energy.
