Photovoltaic module bracket stamping

What is a solar racking mounting bracket?

Mounting brackets are heavy-duty equipment, usually made from stainless steel or aluminum. All solar racking and mounting products, whether for the rooftop or ground, must meet strict guidelines to ensure durability and structural integrity to withstand high winds and weather events.

Do rooftop solar panels need racking?

Mounts and racking are an essential component in a rooftop solar system. As the industry has expanded rapidly in recent years, the technology used to mount solar panels to residential rooftops has experienced incredible innovation and rapid growth.

What are the best solar mounting and racking brands?

The top two high-quality solar mounting and racking brands are: Originally, IronRidge supported mostly small, off-grid projects. But today, IronRidge is known for its uniquely shaped and durable XR rail series for pitched roofs. They have equally great options for flat roofs and ground mounts, as well.

How do module clamps work?

The module clamps attach the drilled-in roof attachments to the mounting rails. There are a few different module clamp types for each angle and corner of the solar panel. Module clamps come in a few different sizes and shapes to secure the roof attachments at every angle.

What is a seismic anchor & microinverter bracket?

Seismic Anchor: Secures the Ballast Tray directly to the building structure through roofing material and/or decking. Provides seismic lateral stability for module array. Microinverter Bracket: Attaches to Ballast Tray and secures microinverter. Works with Enphase, SolarEdge and DirectGrid microinverters.

What is a ballast tray & a module clamp?

Ballast Tray: Supports the PV modules. Ballast tray supports four internal modules and two edge modules and electrically bonds connected modules. Attaches to modules 12” from edge of module. Module Clamp: Secures the PV module to the rail. Use four clamps for each Ballast Tray, two on north and south two Ballast Trays.
