Good point, Jason.
I like Snap N Rack's products, but when I tried to order equipment (no
distributors carry their stuff in Colorado) they never returned my
calls or emails. I'd certainly be wary of their future support, if they
won't even return calls for sales.
Frankly I'm going to start calling out ALL manufacturers that don't back
their product, or otherwise don't treat us RE Wrenches with respect from
here on out.
Manufacturers' reps on this list be forewarned.
I'm getting too old, and worked to hard in this industry to pull punches
now, and I don't think I'm doing my fellow wrenches any service covering
up for the manufacturers' mistakes any more either.

I'm curious if these vertical integrators will still make their
acquired brands available to small dealers through distribution. When
SolarCity snatched up Zep, I had concerns about being able to service
or add onto existing Zep systems we installed. That's definitely a
concern going forward, and reason to perhaps stick with the most
compatible racking solutions available. We used IronRidge for a while,
which is largely compatible with Unirac, but now we're back on the
Unirac bandwagon.
Interesting times...

in Hawaii - so far no problems, I like the convenience of the
design for snapping in the slider nut in mid rail, and also the
ability to install the panels flush with the end of the rails....

I am curious about the mid clamps on the snapnrack. The flange
that rests on top of the solar panel frame is so small ~ 3/16".
Anyone experience any problems with these failing in a big storm?
With solar panel frames not being square it is nice to have a
little extra to grab - I am always curious as to why these clips
are made with such a small area to hold the panels down.
All feedback on these clips is appreciated.

The only complaint with the Snapnrack rails is the thin wall can
easily be distorted. This will allow the nut to drop out of its
groove. Love the universal end clamps but have learned to
assemble every one to check for proper fit before getting on the
roof.

Hello Wrenches,
How would you rate the SnapNrack mounting systems against Unirac
and other mounting systems?
Thanks,
Drake
