What Sollega does

Sollega, Inc. is a privately held solar PV racking manufacturer headquartered in San Francisco, California, founded in 2009 by Elie Rothschild and Lee Rothschild (Head of Engineering since 2012). The company designs, engineers, and produces the FastRack 510-6dg — a patented, one-piece injection-molded racking system built from BASF glass-reinforced Nylon 6 (Ultramid) for commercial and industrial (C&I) flat-roof and ballasted ground-mount photovoltaic installations in 5°, 6°, and 10° tilt configurations. It carries UL 2703 mounting-system certification, a UL 1703 Class A fire rating, and the first UL 3741 Photovoltaic Hazard Control System listing in the United States (Intertek ATM 2023-03-29), enabling NEC 690.12 rapid shutdown compliance without module-level power electronics.

The product surface is rounded out by the String Inverter Mount, FR-SBJ Slide-On Bonding Jumper, and Rock-It Clip 2.0 accessories, all anchored on the FastRack platform. Manufacturing is 100% U.S.-based — injection molding in California (Baldwin Park, Los Angeles), steel fasteners in Ohio, base resin in Texas, and aluminum extrusion in California — supporting federal procurement eligibility and IRA domestic content bonus qualification, with FEOC compliance documentation executed 2026-02-16. Project-specific PE-stamped engineering, ballast layouts, and structural documentation are delivered across all 50 states, integrated with the hardware sale.

The business runs a direct B2B sales model — enterprise field sales plus channel relationships with solar installers, EPCs, and developers — with project-quoted hardware pricing rather than published list prices. The named customer base spans federal agencies (U.S. Department of Energy, Federal Reserve, Smithsonian, VA Caribbean Medical Center), major airports (SFO, Honolulu, Kahului), retail anchors (IKEA, Home Depot), financial infrastructure (DTCC), hospitality (Westin, Kona Village / Rosewood), healthcare (University of Kansas Medical Center), and commercial real estate (Windward Mall), with notable depth in Hawaii and hurricane-exposed coastal deployments.

Revenue model

1. Solar Racking Hardware Sales: Sollega generates revenue primarily through the sale of its FastRack 510-6dg racking systems and accessories (ballast blocks, bonding jumpers, inverter mounts, mechanical anchors, slip sheets). Products are sold directly to EPCs, installers, and developers as one-time capital equipment purchases. The company provides engineering and ballast layout services as part of project specification. Manufacturing is domestic (California, Ohio, Texas), supporting domestic content bonus qualification for federal tax credit projects.

Core offering

Sollega manufactures the FastRack 510-6dg, a patented one-piece injection-molded solar racking system made from glass-reinforced Nylon 6 for commercial flat-roof and ballasted ground-mount PV installations. It sells this hardware plus accessories and PE-stamped engineering/ballast-layout services directly to EPCs, installers, developers, and government agencies.

Product overview

Sollega offers a focused portfolio of solar racking hardware and supporting services for commercial and industrial (C&I) flat-roof and ballasted ground-mount PV installations. The core product is the FastRack 510-6dg, a patented one-piece injection-molded racking system in 5°, 6°, and 10° tilt options made from BASF glass-reinforced Nylon 6 (Ultramid) in the United States. It is complemented by the String Inverter Mount (for string inverters, combiner boxes, and disconnects) and the FR-SBJ Slide-On Bonding Jumper (UL 2703-certified module-to-module bonding). A range of engineering and certification services surround the hardware: PE-stamped structural and ballast layout services across all 50 states, UL 3741 PV Hazard Control System listing (first in the U.S.), and Made in USA / FEOC compliance documentation for projects pursuing federal tax credit domestic-content adders. All products are 100% recyclable, made from domestic raw materials, and backed by a 25-year warranty.

Products and services

• FastRack 510-6dg A patented, one-piece injection-molded solar racking system for flat-roof and ballasted ground-mount PV installations. Available in 5°, 6°, and 10° tilt configurations, made from glass-reinforced Nylon 6 (BASF Ultramid), UL 2703 and UL 3741 certified. Universal design accepts all framed modules in landscape orientation, uses one size bolt with top-down connections, and requires no on-site assembly. For EPCs, installers, and developers.
• String Inverter Mount A quick-to-install mounting platform built on the FastRack 510-6dg system for string inverters, combiner boxes, and disconnects. Mounts at a 20° tilt with center of mass over the FR510 ballast base, supporting ballasted or mechanically attached configurations. Weighs 13 lbs and accommodates most string inverter brands.
• FR-SBJ Slide-On Bonding Jumper A UL 2703-certified spring stainless steel jumper that provides tool-less East-West module-to-module bonding by snapping onto the underside module flange. Rated to 35 amps for quick bonding of adjacent panels.
• Rock-It Clip 2.0 An accessory clip for mounting micro-inverters or power optimizers (MLPEs) to solar module frames using top-down, tool-free attachment. Used where MLPEs are required despite the FR510-6dg's UL 3741 certification.
• Engineering and Ballast Layout Services PE-stamp engineering and ballast layout services for all 50 U.S. states, covering wind and structural engineering, ballast schedules, mechanical anchor design, and project-specific documentation for domestic content and FEOC compliance.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered flagship, core and minor.

• SMA AmericaflagshipTechnology or IntegrationSollega and SMA America joined forces to certify the FR510-6dg with SMA CORE1 string inverters as the first system to comply with UL3741 Photovoltaic Hazard Control Systems and NEC 690.12 for rapid shutdown of rooftop PV without module-level power electronics. This partnership produced the first UL3741-compliant PV system in the U.S. — a 523 kW array in Fresno, CA. The combined racking-and-inverter system achieves rapid shutdown compliance at the system level, eliminating the need for RSDs, optimizers, or microinverters.
• Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.coreTechnology or IntegrationIntertek serves as the independent third-party certification body issuing the Authority to Mark for both UL 3741 (Photovoltaic Hazard Control, ANSI/UL 3741:2020 Ed.1) and UL 2703 (Mounting Systems for Flat-Plate PV Modules) certifications for the FastRack 510 system. Report numbers: 104549709LAX-001 (UL3741) and 103282591LAX-001 (UL2703). ATM issued March 29, 2023 and February 3, 2023 respectively from Intertek's Lake Forest, CA office.
• BASFcoreTechnology or IntegrationBASF supplies Ultramid glass-reinforced Nylon 6/6 resin, the proprietary material used in injection-molded FastRack 510-6dg units. The Ultramid polymer provides non-corrosive, UV-resistant, heat-stable performance critical for rooftop and coastal/sea-spray environments. BASF's U.S.-compounded materials enable the racking's 25-year durability and domestic content qualification.
• Universal Plastic Mold (UPM Plastics)coreTechnology or IntegrationUPM Plastics is the named manufacturer of FastRack 510-6dg base units. Located in Baldwin Park, California, UPM performs the injection molding of the FR510-6dg from BASF Ultramid material. UPM is identified as the manufacturer on Intertek's Authority to Mark documentation for UL3741 and UL2703 certifications.
• Hawaii Clean Energy InitiativecoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerA partnership between the State of Hawaii and the U.S. Department of Energy targeting 70% clean energy by 2030 — the most aggressive renewable energy target in the U.S. Sollega's FastRack 510-6dg was selected for major airport solar installations at Honolulu and Kahului airports as part of this initiative. The partnership has supported over 2,474 kW of rooftop PV on Hawaii's government-owned airport facilities.
• Kaho'olawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerKIRC is the government commission managing the restoration of Kaho'olawe island. Sollega provided the FastRack 510-6dg for a 99.96 kW ground-mount array at Honokanai'a Base Camp, paired with battery backup and a desalination plant. The system powers KIRC's Native Hawaiian dryland forest restoration efforts and cuts the camp's carbon footprint by ~53.3 tons annually.
