Our Story

SolarDock History
Originally working in the commercial real estate industry, our founders first became personally acquainted with the opportunities -- and challenges -- of developing commercial solar installations for flat roofs in 2002. In developing and constructing a flagship world headquarters for AstroPower in Newark, Delaware, project management responsibilities included the installation a 330 kW rooftop solar PV system.
The project ignited the founders' interest in solar electricity, but as property owners, the company was unsatisfied with the roof-mounted racking systems available. Instead, our founders specified and designed a solar electric mounting system that emphasized features that they considered absolute requirements for use on their own buildings and future projects.
This system became the SolarDock -- a patented, completely non-roof penetrating commercial racking system.
