16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eThe key difference is in how the pins work. Solar Guard Lite has \u003cstrong\u003eindividually adjustable pins\u003c\/strong\u003e that you set by hand to match the roof profile — ideal when precision matters. Solar-Flex uses \u003cstrong\u003efree-falling pins\u003c\/strong\u003e that drop automatically to conform to the tile shape when pressed down — making installation \u003cstrong\u003esignificantly faster\u003c\/strong\u003e, particularly on complex or profiled tile roofs where individual adjustment would be time-consuming.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #c8e6e3;\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"padding:13px 16px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;background:#fff;\"\u003eHow is the base snapped to length?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-size:14px;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e3 mm polycarbonate base can be snapped cleanly by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e at any point between pins — no cutters needed.
