Systems
When it comes to Solar Railing, installation is as straightforward as it is innovative. From a simple post and cap to a base shoe system, and with wiring ingeniously concealed in the post or handrail— installation is identical to typical railing systems for a not-so-typical railing.
Testing
At the heart of SolaRail™'s design is a commitment to durability and safety. Our railings undergo rigorous impact testing, adhering to stringent ASTM standards, ensuring they stand up to the toughest conditions. This meticulous testing guarantees not only the resilience of each railing but also the long-term durability that our clients expect.
Services
From manufacturing the material to supplying the system hardware, laying out the electricals, design assistance, installation, and even servicing – we've got it all covered.
And because we're not just all talk, we offer a 25-year product and performance warranty. We promise a minimum efficiency of 80% of the original energy generation at year 25, ensuring your balcony railing remains beautiful and efficient, just like the day you first laid eyes on it.
Electrical Systems
Our Solar Glass is more than just a pretty face; it's a powerhouse of energy utilizing BIPV technology, with every wire and circuit thoughtfully concealed to maintain the aesthetic integrity of your building.
