Individual tubes. Open design resists lift and stays put even in high winds. Protects roof from rain rot by allowing rapid moisture evaporation. Round tubes capture more heat.
Overmolded header. Sunstar’s patented overmolded header ensures the strongest possible connection between tubing because the header is actually formed around each individual tube. One-piece construction eliminates welds and allows the collector to expand and contract with temperature changes.
Mounting Sleds. Sunstar’s patented sled mounting system eliminates the need for straps, securing the panels with fewer roof penetrations. The sleds allow the headers to expand and contract with temperature variations, never cutting into the collector and never restricting water flow. Sunstar panels are engineered for maximum compatibility with each other and your roof. The Sunstar mounting system is designed to attach directly to your roof trusses.
Panel Clamps. Sunstar’s patented panel clamps replace old-style rubber hoses and metal clamps that require regular rooftop maintenance and replacement. These durable, specially-engineered clamps never require replacement, never need to be tightened and, unlike rubber hoses, will not degrade and stain your roof over time.
