ONTILITY and Zep Solar
The patented Zep System enables rapid coupling and automatic grounding of solar module arrays. The Zep System (U.S. Patent #7,592,537, U.S. & Int’l Patents Pending) works with all solar modules that include a Zep Groove on the outside surface of an otherwise conventional solar module frame. The system requires no rails, making it easier to ship, warehouse and install.
The heart of the Zep System is a specialized stainless steel fastener called the Zep. This quarter-turn coupling rapidly locks into the Zep Groove, enabling a drop-in installation action for one side of each PV module. The Zep also cuts through the module frame’s anodization to secure a solid ground path while simultaneously allowing for real-world factors like tolerance take-up and thermal expansion. Zep grounding technology creates a fully redundant hyper-bonded grounding matrix, making the Zep System the best solution for electrical safety. The Zep coupling is integrated into our two core components: the Interlock and the Leveling Foot.
Zep System II™
Optimized for flush-mounting PV arrays to roofs and other structures, Zep System II (U.S. Patent #7,592,537, U.S. & Int’l Patents Pending) utilizes an interlocking device (Interlock) and an adjustable-height L-bracket (Leveling Foot) for coupling and attaching PV arrays. Hardware comes in black or clear anodized finish.

Zep System III™
Zep System III™ from Zep Solar offers the fastest and least expensive way to mount PV arrays on flat roofs. With a series of drop-in and quarter turn connections, Zep System III greatly accelerates the process of commercial rooftop installation. Zep System III eliminates the need for mounting rails, requires very few parts, and simultaneously accomplishes structural and grounding connections. With far less complexity than conventional systems, Zep System III delivers both labor and logistics savings for commercial PV projects.
