FAQ

 

Roof Information

  • SlimFit: SlimFit is designed to be installed on metal standing seams roofs that are at least 14.5” wide measured on center between the seams, and that are flat with no ribs or striations in the channels. Roof pitch must be less than 40 degrees. No roof penetrations or ballasts are needed.

    FLEX: Flat (2 degree pitch or less) membrane roofs (TPO or EPDM). Low crickets are no problem. Installation of Flex modules on greater curves or slopes may be possible if the roof stack includes a gypsum board directly under the membrane. No roof penetrations or ballasts needed.

  • SlimFit: Yes- SlimFit can only be installed on slopes of less than 40 degrees.

    FLEX: FLEX modules are intended for installation on a flat membrane roof (2 degree pitch or less), but can be installed at higher slopes if a non-combustible backer-board (gypsum) is installed directly under the membrane.

  • Not at this time, but we can refer you to trusted metal roofing suppliers and installers.

  • Utility companies have different rules for how much you are allowed to oversize your solar system. Some will only allow a system size equal to your last 12 months of consumption history. Check with your local utility or solar installer for details. An additional concern would be the limits of your existing electric service panel for an over-sized solar system. Your installer will be able to evaluate your home’s electrical capabilities.

  • This is currently not possible as the adhesive used is not meant for vertical applications.

  • Although the module curves up to 30%, for designs with more than one module connected in a standing seam channel, the junction box covers may be a challenge. Every roof is unique and should be looked at on a case by case basis.

  • The SlimFit product is currently only available for residential and commercial use. Please visit Sunflare’s division for the mobile environment: XPLOR

  • Every utility territory has different rules for self-generators (homes and businesses with solar). Net Energy Metering (NEM) export compensation for excess energy produced and exported to the grid is typically reflected as monthly credits against the times you used electricity but the sun wasn’t shining (your modules were not producing). Check with your local utility for the details.

Availability

  • We know a lot of you have questions about tariffs and how they might impact the cost of your favorite solar gear. Here’s what we can tell you right now:

    • The prices of our current inventory of all Array solar panels will remain the same while supplies last in the U.S. We recommend placing your order if you want to lock in current pricing.

    • Once we run out of our current stock, future pricing may increase. At this point, we can’t say exactly by how much. Any changes will be due to ongoing international tariff shifts and trade policy adjustments.

    • Sunflare is a global company, and these tariff changes are affecting countries and supply chains across the board. We’re doing our best to navigate the evolving landscape and reduce the impact on you, our customers—but this process takes time and planning.

    • We’ll continue to update this FAQ as we get more clarity on how tariffs will influence future pricing.

    We’re truly sorry—the world’s a little messy right now. But we’re doing everything we can to continue delivering world-class solar solutions without sacrificing quality for cost (or asking you to). Thanks for hanging in there with us. We’re in this together.

  • We are currently accepting Purchase Orders for FLEX and SlimFit.

    Our first shipment of SlimFit will be in the spring of 2024, and will be based on accepted Purchase Orders. FLEX modules are available now.

    Due to overwhelming interest in SlimFit, we have formed a SlimFit waitlist.

    Access waitlist HERE.

    Anyone on the waitlist who submits a $500 deposit (refundable anytime) will receive a personalized Helioscope Report for their home or business, which will show the power production of the installed SlimFit array, and give the solar installer a big head start. All Purchase Orders are honored on a first-come-first-served basis.

  • Please contact your local installer to obtain a turnkey proposal cost with Array modules plus the additional electrical components, labor, permitting etc. Solar modules are just one piece of the system- so it’s best to speak to an installer who can discuss all aspects of the equipment and installation.

  • Sunflare sells our products directly to solar installers.

  • SlimFit- Coming Soon!
