"The partnership and support from S-5! is very helpful. Asking for feedback helps a lot. You're quick to respond; you're on it all of the time; your product development is pot on. You are always thinking what's next - how can we help our partners from where we are today; how do we improve our product and how do we take it to the next level. That part of the partnership, we love. It carries a long way. As far as the product itself, it's amazing. When we first started using it. I thought how do we streamline this process so our installers actually embrace it. The guidance provided and the detail on the installation instructions and installation videos really came in very handy."

     - Juan David Payares, CEO of PayOli Solar, Florida

"Our business builds solar PV systems, including many megawatts of rooftop solar. We've been using S-5! direct-attachTM PVKIT and clamps successfully for more than 10 years without ever penetrating or otherwise damaging a roof. Having used S-5! for so long, we've watched the evolution of the products, which have only gotten better and better throughout the years. When it comes to metal roofs, we trust and will always use S-5!...set 'em and forget 'em..."

     - Steve Ray, COO of Essex Power Corporation, Canada

"The S-5! PVKITs and S-5-V Mini Clamps really work well on the type of buildings we generally use in the recycling business, which are prefab standing seam metal roofs. The installation was much faster than we anticipated. It was a really short learning curve and a really clean installation. If you take a bird's eye view, the system is clean and attractive; it almost looks like an extension of the building. S-5! direct-attachTM looks natural, not obtrusive, built-in, sleek and low-profile. It was a pleasure workign with S-5! Communication was great. You helped us understand the product and identify the correct products for the job. S-5! is a great product, and I would highly recommend it."

     - Tim Cusson, VP of Business Development of Parallel Products, Massachusetts
