Transforming the solar industry.
Aluminext designs and manufactures aluminum mounting systems for solar — rail and rail-less, tile and metal roof attachments, ballasted flat-roof systems and carport structures. Beyond the hardware, they support projects directly with layout assistance, technical studies and installer training.
They launch in the U.S. in fall of 2026, with Exel Solar US as their sourcing and logistics partner. We're selecting twenty teams to put the product on real arrays first.
- +Faster installationFewer parts and pre-assembled components to cut time on the roof.
- +Lowered install costLess labor per array and less hardware to stage and track.
- +Long-term reliabilityAluminum construction built for the service life of the system.
Product claims are Aluminext's. Load ratings, certifications and warranty terms are issued by Aluminext and provided with each quote.
Systems you'll be testing.
Your samples and trial install are scoped to one system — the roof type your crews actually work. Every system shares the same rail, universal clamp and grounding lug, so a second roof type is a short step from the first.
Comp shingle Coming soon
The shingle solution, and the one most U.S. residential crews are waiting on. Flashed attachment for composition shingle, pairing to the NXT-RX rail. Ask us for timing when you apply.
Standing seam //NXT-CLAMP PRO 4
Rail-less. Round-tipped fasteners grip the seam without piercing the sheet, so the roof stays hole-free. Two components per attachment point.
Flat roof //NXT-LIFT
Elevated front support with adjustable tilt and a 30 cm front rise, running on NXT-RX rail with NXT-ARL rear supports. Ships pre-assembled.
R-panel metal //NXT-MINI 2.0
Short rail that lands on the rib with EPDM backing against water intrusion. Adapts to varying rib spacing; NXT-NANO is the low-profile option for roofs with skylights.
Tile //NXT-HOOK
Height-adjustable hook that carries load to the structure and lifts the rail clear of the tile course. Lightweight profile keeps total system weight down.

Two stages.
The first package lands the day you sign. The second unlocks once you've run the product and told us what came back from the field.

- Design tool accessEarly access to the Aluminext design system.
What we ask back
A structured read on your business and an honest debrief after the install. Nine questions, grouped below. You'll see them once at intake and once after the first arrays go up — we're not going to keep circling back.
- 01 How you build today Annual kW and your residential versus C&I split. What you spec right now — manufacturer, SKUs, the rail and attachment your crews actually run. And your roof mix: comp shingle, tile, standing seam, low-slope.
- 02 Where you work States and AHJs, so we know which PE letters to have ready and how to route material to you. Plus a rough 12-month pipeline by quarter.
- 03 What a switch has to beat The friction you live with now — lead times, breakage, callbacks, labor hours. And the landed cost a change would have to hit to be worth doing.
- 04 What the crews say After the first installs: time per array, what fought you, what your foreman would change. If it earns one, a named reference or written review — only once the system has run real jobs, and only if you want to give it.
If it doesn't hold up on your roof, we want to hear that most of all. A partner who tells us the product isn't ready is worth more to us than one who tells us it's fine.
Who we're looking for
The program only works if the product ends up on a roof, so we're prioritizing companies with an array going up soon.
Commercial EPCs
Low-slope, ballasted and carport work, testing on a single project scope.
Installers
Small and mid-size crews running a competitor rail today. Fastest to switch.
Roofing companies
Solar arms on pitched residential. Flashings and attachments are already your language.
Developers
Furthest upstream. A spec win here carries across every project you hand down.
