Rocklin, CA | March 2026 — SolaTrim®, a leader in innovative solar protection solutions, announced the launch of SolEmber™, a new line of products designed to protect homes, solar systems, and communities from the growing threat of wildfire. Built with FireStorm® EmberMesh™ technology, SolEmber™ provides a durable, code- compliant shield against ember intrusion—the leading cause of wildfire-related property loss. Studies show that up to 90% of structures destroyed in wildfires ignite from EMBERS, not direct flames, as embers can travel up to a mile ahead of flames. SolEmber™ is engineered to stop these dangerous threats before they spark disaster. By design, SolEmber™ directly prevents WildFire Fuel and WildLife Debris from accumulating under vulnerable solar panel arrays.
“Wildfire season is longer and more destructive than ever before,” said Ernie Bayless, Managing Partner. “With SolEmber™, we’re giving homeowners, builders, and communities a powerful, lasting defense that is as practical as it is essential. This product represents the next chapter in SolaTrim’s® commitment to safety, innovation, and protecting America’s renewable energy future.”
