For a perfect fit, we even offer CAD-Verified Layouts upon request.
Introducing a Van World First—Flush Surface Design
After over a year of development, our newest version is a true breakthrough: the first-ever fully flush countersunk hardware system for modular roof deck panels. This innovation eliminates bulky button heads, taking functionality and design to a new level. Key features include:
- Seamless, 100% Flush Surface: No bolt heads to catch your feet, gear, or equipment.
- Perfect for Walkable Solar Panels: No need to avoid bolt heads when installing walkable solar panels, ensuring maximum utility, aesthetics, and longevity of your solar panel system.
- Improved Longevity and Efficiency: A completely flush surface minimizes wear and tear on panels, protecting your investment and ensuring optimal solar output for years to come.
- 316 Stainless Steel Deck Bolts: Custom-engineered for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. These are not off-the-shelf bolts; they feature a custom countersunk angle and precise bolt length specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with the extrusion system, ensuring a perfect, flush fit.
This patent-pending design redefines what modular roof deck panels can be. Our panels are more functional, more durable, and designed to withstand even the toughest adventures. Scroll through the product images to explore example layouts and find inspiration for your perfect setup!

Custom Configuration Assistance
Step 1: Design your roof layout and determine which panels fit best. Fill out this form for a free CAD-verified layout to ensure optimal configuration when paired with our racks. If you have fans, air conditioners, hatches, or other items through the roof jump to step 3.
- Calculate crossbar spacing by subtracting 2" from the length of each panel (gives you the distance needed between crossbars). For Example, a B panel that is 28.5” long, would require 26.5” between 2 crossbars as each panel overlaps the top of each crossbar by 1”.
Step 2: Email us to verify the panel configuration. If you have appliances mounted (fan, AC, or hatch), provide the model name/number and specific measurements using the reference images below.
- For rear-mounted appliances, measure the distance from the rear plug to the rear edge of the appliance.
- For forward-mounted appliances, measure the distance from the front seam to the front edge of the appliance.
- Measure the distance between all roof appliances. (EG. between fan and AC)
