SWIF Rack partners with National Roofing Partners to deliver nationwide C&I installation and roofing services

Strategic alliance pairs SWIF Rack’s advanced solar mounting solutions with NRP’s extensive network of tier 1 commercial roofing partners across North America.

SWIF Rack, a leading innovator in commercial and industrial solar mounting and racking systems, today announced a strategic partnership with National Roofing Partners (NRP), the nation’s premier single-source national commercial roofing contractor.

Through this collaboration, SWIF Rack clients across the United States will gain access to NRP’s nationwide footprint of elite, certified commercial roofing professionals. The partnership streamlines the deployment of commercial solar installations by offering end-to-end support, from preliminary roof assessments and precise rack mounting, weatherproofing and long-term roof warranty maintenance. This collaboration expands on SWIF Rack’s existing distribution partnership with Duro-Last®, a member of the Amrize family of brands and a leading manufacturer of custom-fabricated single-ply roofing systems. By teaming up with NRP, SWIF Rack further expands the resources and network of expertise available for roof-integrated solar projects.

As commercial solar adoption continues to accelerate, building owners and EPCs (Engineering, Procurement and Construction firms) increasingly require integrated solutions that protect roof membrane integrity while maximizing solar energy yield. The SWIF Rack and NRP alliance directly addresses this need, ensuring that every solar array is paired with rigorous roofing craftsmanship and backed by full warranty protections.

Key highlights of the partnership:

• Nationwide Deployment: Rapid scalability and consistent execution for multi-site commercial solar portfolios across all 50 states.
• Warranty Preservation: Seamless integration of SWIF Rack mounting hardware with single-ply, metal and modified bitumen commercial roof systems without compromising existing roof manufacturer warranties.
• Turnkey Execution: Coordinated logistics, site assessments, structural attachment and ongoing operations & maintenance (O&M) support.
• Risk Mitigation: Enhanced site safety standards and specialized engineering oversight tailored to complex industrial rooftops.
