Allied Solar partners with CertainTeed
Allied Solar Products, a subsidiary of Beacon Roofing Supply and one of the nation’s largest distributors of photovoltaic panels and solar accessories, has partnered with CertainTeed to expand the distribution of the manufacturer’s Solstice Solar System.
The move will allow Allied Solar Products to build on its roofing and solar opportunities, according to Dave Jenkins, national vice president of solar for Allied Solar Products, who describes the partnership as “a win for both companies and their contractor customers.”
“Allied Solar always looks for ways to improve its supply chains so we can deliver popular products to as many customers as possible as quickly as possible,” said Jenkins. “The move allows us to leverage our logistics, just-in-time delivery, and dedicated solar sales teams to deliver Solstice.”
CertainTeed’s Solstice system combines components including modules, inverters, mounting and flashing with a single-source warranty. In addition, when installed by one of CertainTeed’s Credentialed or Master Solar Installers, CertainTeed warrants the installation workmanship on the system for up to 25 years.
Solstice systems are designed to maximize roof space and can be configured to best suit the needs of the client, according to CertainTeed.
Mark Stancroff, director of CertainTeed Solar, said the Allied Solar Division’s sales know-how and logistical presence will complement CertainTeed’s strong brand recognition and installer base.
“Allied Solar’s team has strong product knowledge and solar industry expertise,” said Stancroff. “In addition, their parent company Beacon can deliver roofing material for solar jobs that require reroofs. All of this is supported by Beacon’s Pro+ e-commerce platform that allows customers to order 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“Solar and roofing contractors value these solutions which enable them to stand out in the marketplace,” Stancroff added. “Allied’s logistical capabilities and service platform allow them to provide a steady supply of product to contractors, making their work more efficient. They are a natural fit for the distribution of CertainTeed’s value-added solar solutions.”
