Frequently asked questions from various areas

Here you will find answers to the most important questions about our products, systems and services. Whether technical details, assembly instructions or ordering procedures – we have compiled the most frequently asked questions for you in a clear and concise manner.

No!!! SISO was deliberately developed out of the box. It's a proprietary screw mechanism that cannot and should not be reproduced by third parties. The patent enables thousands of applications that cannot be captured in a standard and therefore should not be limited by any design tool.
However, SISO.systems guarantees a static material strength of 1.5 tons per screw connection for 20 years and can be arranged and planned using any existing design tool.
SISO is built to last.

With SISO, the plant owner benefits from the unique modular system. Almost any adaptation to the specific situation or modification can be implemented structurally, professionally, and with high structural stability. They can replace a module at any time, expand the system, or even have it reinstalled elsewhere if needed. SISO cannot be replicated by third parties and therefore enjoys the highest level of trust. SISO creates added value.

Fatigue during assembly is a crucial factor in quality assurance. SISO is ergonomically applied only from the side or above. A SISO user doesn't want to be kneeling and constantly getting up. Many users and designers are impressed by its simplicity every day. Similarly, the installer wants a free hand for adjustments and visual confirmation of tightness. Once the screw is in, it holds. SISO is simple – screw it in – done!

PV planners and solar project managers appreciate the high structural properties when used on pitched roofs and the flexible adaptation to obstacles.
The consistency of SISO applications and the need for few components increase reliability in implementation, material planning, and assembly efficiency.
SISO, as a true all-rounder, is ideal for solar companies that want to design a wide variety of roofs individually, yet implement modular and efficient solutions. SISO: Function before form.

The SISO screw channel was designed and developed for the automotive industry and its safety requirements. It has been used in thousands of projects for 20 years. To date, there has only been one system-related recall, which involved an externally sourced roof hook. This hook was replaced by the SISO's own, strongest roof hook on the market, which has been available for 11 years.

With a pull-out force of 1.5 tons per screw, SISO is unique and superior for lightweight construction connections. It can be applied without pre-drilling or nuts and using a cordless screwdriver. Its high flexibility allows for easy adaptation and expansion to meet the specific needs of any roof design.

Sustainability is inherently one of the most important prerequisites for renewable energy generation plants. Aluminum production has a high energy impact, but it can be recycled very effectively. Candle to Candle demonstrates the resource conservation and forward-thinking nature of a concept that spans from production to reusability. At SISO, components such as brackets, screws, and clamps are refurbished for second-life applications and reused multiple times. Short rail sections can be reused for construction in cabinetry, cable management, and equipment manufacturing. The basic principle is: the simpler a system, the more versatile its applications, and the less waste it generates. Only then does recycling and remelting come into play. Once produced, aluminum can be reused again and again.

A good solar system like SISO.systems consists of as few components as possible, can be assembled with few tools, attached with one hand, and is permanently reusable and adaptable. A high static reserve costs money, but protects the installer and customer in exceptional events and provides confidence in the long-term investment.
