January 24, 2014 by Leave a Comment
CertainTeed Corp.’s Apollo II next generation solar roofing system
Like its predecessor, Apollo II fully integrates with roofing shingles for a clean, seamless appearance not found with rack-mounted systems. Each slim, 12-pound module features 14 high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells. Its low profile design does not require structural reinforcement or evaluation, and the sleek black frame, cells and backsheet visually blend with surrounding shingles. The enhanced product also features an open space under the modules to allow for easier electrical wiring. New water channels and raised fastener locations further improve roof deck integrity.
The Apollo II system is offered in pre-engineered kits containing all components necessary for installation. Modules are Class A fire rated and meet UL 790 requirements. Apollo II is also rated for wind resistance up to 110 mph and loads up to 250 lbs per square foot. In addition, the product is backed by the industry’s only warranty for both electricity output and installation workmanship. Apollo II qualifies for a 30 percent federal tax credit and may be eligible for state rebates and incentives. Additional incentives may also be available through local utility providers.
CertainTeed offers a powerful portfolio of photovoltaic roofing systems, including, Solstice rack-mounted, high-performance monocrystalline panels featuring one of the best ratios of energy per area and PowerMax premium class, copper-indium-selenium (CIS) thin film rack mounted panels for residential and commercial applications. Designed to meet the demands of sustainable construction and replacement roofing, these products leverage next generation technology to generate unrivaled performance without compromising aesthetics.

Organize and Protect Gear in Pickup Truck Beds

DECKED full-sized pickup truck bed storage system
The concept for DECKED came from the company’s founder who worked out of his truck for years as an outdoor product salesman. He quickly learned he needed a better way to organize and protect his gear while still retaining the functionality of the truck bed. DECKED is designed to keep gear dry, organized and secure.
The full-sized truck bed storage system incorporates two waterproof, bed-length drawers which roll out to provide easy access to tools, equipment and additional gear. The deck of the storage system is built from 100 percent recycled high-density polyethylene co-molded to a steel sub frame providing a 2,000-pounds load capacity. The drawers can hold up to 200 pounds each and are lockable to provide secure storage. Each drawer can hold tools, parts and supplies, sporting goods, or just about anything that is normally stored in a truck bed. The system is weatherproof and the deck can be configured to accommodate tie downs or rack systems. The DECKED system can be mounted in nearly every full size pickup truck made since the late 1990s, is easy to install, and mounts to the truck bed’s existing tie downs with no drilling required.

The PLM-30-TLR Trailer Mounted Pneumatic Light Tower from Larson Electronics
Magnalight’s PLM-30-TLR trailer mounted telescoping light tower allows operators to quickly and safely deploy illumination in locations where elevated illumination is needed for maximum area coverage. This five section aluminum pneumatic light boom can be extended to 30 feet for maximum area coverage and collapsed to 8.25 feet and folded over for transport or when not in use. The mast is elevated from the fold down position using an included 1,000-pound hand winch with 3/16-inch aircraft cable and extended to its full height using the equipped 240V AC air compressor.
This light mast is mounted to a 25 foot, single axle steel trailer with removable tongue for longer deployments and theft deterrent. Constructed of 2 inch by 3 inch square tubing, this trailer can be mounted on any 2-inch ball type receiver hitch. This trailer is equipped with a 4-pin flat plug for the tail lights and four corner leveling stabilizer jacks. This light mast trailer also features a receiving bracket to secure the folded light mast during transit.
This light tower can withstand winds up to 125 mph when lowered to 10 feet. Larson Electronics can equip the mast with 1000W or 1500W Metal Halide lights or a wide variety of high powered LED lights with comparable power. The trailer includes a choice of either the manual 1,000 lbs hand winches, included standard, or optional electric winches. Either 120VAC or 12/24VDC compressors are both available during the customization process.
