CLEVELAND, July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Roll-A-Rack has developed a gutter-like solar racking system that captures rain falling on solar panels. Current racking systems require a large distance between rows of panels to grow vegetation to prevents erosion. The compact Roll-A-Rack has only eleven inches between rows of panels and requires half the land to produce the same amount of energy. Harvested water can also be used for irrigation.
