UltraCool Standing-Seam Metal Roofing System

The UltraCool standing-seam metal roofing system combines integrated photovoltaics, solar hot water heating, and rainwater harvesting. The SunNet solar standing-seam roof features 1/4-inch-thick laminate solar collectors. Mounted under the roof is a solar thermal system that draws heat from the roof and transfers it to the hot-water system. Finally, three rainwater harvesting systems capture 225, 400, and 1,700 gallons of water for non-potable use; integrated LeafGuard and Gutter Tunnel leaf protection help keep debris out of the rainwater containment tanks. www.englertinc.com.
