Throughout this period, the system must be capable of withstanding extreme fl uctuations in weather, making the mounting element the most vital organ for a healthy solar system. “The beauty of the TRIC mounting system is that all the components are pre-assembled and interchangeable with one another, providing the installer with the ultimate fl exibility on the rooftop,” said Jan Stasik, technical manager at Wagner Solar UK, “<strong>Installer</strong>s often comment how amazed they are at how fast the rails get installed with the TRIC mounting system, even on tricky roofs,” he added.
