SUNBEAM INNOVATIONS
For homeowners in Lowell and the Merrimack Valley, winter means heavy snow loads, ice dams, and prolonged freezing conditions. When considering solar panels, the fear of structural damage to older, historic roofs is a major concern. Fortunately, modern solar engineering provides a massive layer of protection.
The Tier-1 solar panels installed by SunBeam Innovations use specialized tempered glass and reinforced aluminum frames designed to absorb massive weight. Rated for 5400 Pascals (Pa), these panels can comfortably support several feet of heavy, wet Lowell snow without buckling.
Ice dams are a major issue for New England roofs. Because solar panels shed snow efficiently and provide an extra layer of insulation over the roof decking, they can actually help mitigate the formation of ice dams. Our installation process involves comprehensive flashing to ensure a completely watertight seal that lasts through decades of freeze-thaw cycles.
By adding a battery backup to your snow-rated solar array, your Lowell home becomes immune to the power outages that frequently follow major Nor'easters.
Our engineers will build a custom solar blueprint engineered for your operation — backed by 30-year linear warranties and Tier-1 equipment.
