S-5!, the leading authority on metal roof attachment solutions, presented several sessions at METALCON 2021, providing opportunities for attendees to earn continuing education credits. 

Solar is a rapidly growing energy sector in the U.S. and globally. This increased focus on energy efficiency and sustainability has brought attention to the pairing of solar and metal roofing. Business owners, designers, contractors, EPCs, solar developers and installers interested in learning more about the benefits of solar and metal roofing attended a variety of educational sessions at the new Solar Education Center sponsored by S-5!

One of the featured panel presentations, Metal Takes on Solar – A Metal Roofers Perspective on Solar Installations ― moderated by LeeAnn Slattery, sales support manager of ATAS International and market development chair for the Metal Construction Association (MCA) ― was based on a newly released MCA report, Metal Roofing & Solar PV Systems and takes place on October 7.

S-5!’s Founder and CEO, Rob Haddock presented the fundamentals of Understanding Metal Roofing: Parts I and II on October 6 and October 7. Often billed as "Metal Roofing 101" and known as the best “crash course” available for all in-industry personnel, it included technical information presented in a common-sense fashion that makes the art and science of metal roofing clear, concise and understandable. Contractors, sales people, architects, specifiers, roof consultants, engineers, building owners and maintenance staff all benefited from attending. 

Attendees were invited to stop by S-5!’s booth to see first-hand its award-winning WindClamp2X™, designed to increase wind resistance for standing seam metal roofs. These small aluminum clamps are placed over the roof’s seam at designated intervals to prevent multiple modes of failure and provide a cost-compelling solutions for increasing wind resistance by up to three times. S-5!’s team will be on-hand to explain the features and benefits of this technology.

And, attendees had fun at the Solar Trivia Games. Moderated by S-5!’s solar expert, Mark Gies, teams of three to five individuals can competed before facing off on the final day for the grand prize.

“We are very excited to be so actively involved in METALCON this year,” says Haddock. “It’s the place to be if you are in the industry, and we are honored that our new WindClamp™ has been named a METALCON Top Product Award winner.”
